Matches
1. Fandango (w/ Rosa) vs. Erick Rowan. Surprisingly nice pop for Rowan. Charles Robinson tells Chimel to ring the bell twice before he actually does. Chimel tells Charles that Rosa was distracting him. Rowan wins with the Full Nelson Slam.
2. Tyler Breeze & Bo Dallas vs. Lucha Dragons. Nice little pop for Breeze. So-so reception for Lucha Dragons. Bo tells everyone that they are watching history, they are watching "BoBreeze". NXT chant to start the match. Crowd is loving Kalisto. Lucha Dragons win with the Salida del Sol and Swanton combo.
Video from Kane promoting main event vs. Daniel Bryan.
3. R-Truth vs Luke Harper. Truth does his normal intro and pulls the IC Title out of a bag that he brought with him. During match, Wade Barret runs out and takes IC Title and runs to the back. R-Truth wins with the What's Up.
The Conor HoF Warrior Award video aired.
4. Summer Rae & Sasha Banks vs. Natalya & Emma. Nice little pop for Sasha. Natty gets the biggest pop out of all the Divas. Small NXT chant before match. Wow. A Divas match that lasts more than 30 seconds. I guess they are #GivingDivasAChance. Natty gets her team the win with the Sharpshooter.
5. Big Show vs. Roman Reigns. Good heat for Big Show. Loud pop for Roman. The second his music started everyone began searching the crowd for him. But what does it tell you that the man they have main eventing WrestleMania is working the 5th match of the night. Show works the crowd like a champ. Loud You Sold Out chants. Reigns wins with the spear.
Intermission
6. The Accenssion vs. The New Day. I missed the intros due to a slow consessions area. Kofi and Xavier are in for New Day. Crowd seems to be getting behind New Day. New Day wins with the back breaker and double foot stomp combo.
7. Intercontinental Title Match - Wade Barrett vs. Dean Ambrose. Big pop for Ambrose. Barrett says he is the real IC champ, not anyone else. While the match goes on, a graphic for the IC Title is shown on all the screens. At one point in the match, Ambrose goes to skin the cat and gets kick in the gut mid way. Ambrose wins via DQ by title shot to the face by Barrett. Post match, Barrett goes to hit Ambrose with the title again and gets a Dirty Deeds for his trouble. Harper runs out and nails Ambrose and walks to the back with IC Title. R-Truth comes out, hits Harper and runs off with IC Title. #ICShenanigans.
WM 31 promo video. 15 days away.
8. Kane vs. Daniel Bryan - Seattle Street Fight. Yes chants before Bryan comes, high pop when his music hits. Non stop yes chants and name chants before they even lock up. Seattle loves the guy, what can I say? Kane over powers Bryan and gets no chants. Bryan goes to crotch post Kane, crowd chants "Yes!" Kane says no, crowd wins. Singapore cane, a chair and a table get involved. A leg breaks off the table, Bryan gets a new one. Kane laid across table, Bryan goes airborne but cough and chockslammed through it. 2 count only. Bryan wins with the running knee.
Post match, Bryan gets the house mic and says it's great to be home. He says because of the Slammys held here back 2013, we changed the course of his career. He says he only has two words for us. So the crowd says Suck It. Funny. He says he knows he was trained by Shawn Michaels and all but those were not the words he had in mind. He says thank you. Also asked the crowd if they would like to see him in Seahawks colors the next time he wrestle in Seattle again. The crowd, of course, chanted yes.
