Triple H came out to pump up the crowd.
Neville vs. Balor
Good match, crowd very into Balor as the local boy. Neville was flippy as hell. Balor pinned Neville with the stomp off the top (the second one, the first, earlier in the match, got a two count). Then they got up and shook hands. Sheamus came out from the back to his old music, and praised Balor and Neville as the future of the WWE, and said that he’d been in WWE six years. He pointed out Balor’s family in the crowd, then laid out both Neville and Balor, proclaiming that while he was Irish, he was also a selfish man. Many boos at this point.
WWE Tag Team Champions Cesaro and Kidd vs. New Day
New day came out as faces, but got booed immediately, then kept doing the new day clap, and reacting with disbelief or anger as approrpriate. Big E was really funny during this. They shouted at the crowd a bit. Cesaro and Kidd got good reactions, lots of chants for Tyson when he was being doubleteamed, more consistently for Cesaro. Most heat was around chanting New Day Sucks though. Cesaro worked an armbar in the same rhythm as the chant. Crowd ate it up. And ate up the uppercuts too. Cesaro and Kidd won with the Giant Swing into the basement dropkick.
Fandango vs. Jimmy Uso
It was a little dead in comparison. Rosa Mendes came down with Fandango. Lots of superkicks, Fandango got some heat with the hip gyrations, got a 2 count with a Falcon Arrow, then got caught when going for the top rope legdrop. Jay won with the splash from the top.
Bray Wyatt, Wade Barrett, Sheamus vs Dolph Ziggler, Erick Rowan and I-C Champion Daniel Bryan
Wyatt’s entrance is great, and he was very over. When it got to Wyatt vs. Rowan, more people sided with Wyatt, it sounded like. Sheamus was also cheered a fair amount. Bryan stayed on the apron most of the time, Rowan was in the ring a lot, Ziggler slightly less. It was decent, it kind of sank in the middle, because people liked Sheamus more than they liked Rowan when they were both in the ring. Then Sheamus cut a promo in the middle of the match, praising Mary Harney (leader of one of the parties when they bankrupted Ireland), Enda Kenny (current leader of another party, not madly popular) and the concept of paying water charges (70,000 people were on the streets protesting this recently). It did not endear him to the crowd. Bryan got the win with the running knee lift.
Xavier Woods vs. R-Truth
Short match, R-Truth got the crowd to chant New Day Sucks, which they did. Xavier Woods cut a promo at the start about how many degrees he had and god knows we hate learning. If anything New Day’s heat grew over the night. They cheated in this one too, and were sent to the back, Truth immediately won with the Lie Detector as Woods was distracted by New Day being sent back.
There were a couple of sections where they shilled merchandise, Bryan got a big pop, Reigns less so.
Summer Rae, Cameron, Alicia Fox vs. Emma, Natalya, and Rosa Mendes
It was fairly ok, Natalya was by far the most popular wrestler, Emma did most of the work in the match and was pretty good. People liked her from NXT as there were a few NXT chants during the night. Natalya’s team won.
Damien Mizdow vs. Miz
Mizdow won with the Skull Crushing Finale.
Roman Reigns vs. Big Show
This was billed as a Dublin Street fight, which normally involves St. Patricks day and rather more drinking and vomiting. Big Show cut a promo and was introduced as the winnner of the WM battle royale, said he’d won every title in wrestling. Lots of booing. Kids hated him. Roman came down through the crowd and got a good reaction. Not as good as Bryan but not bad. The Streetfight was ok, Show went through a table midway through, Roman went all around the ring picking up a chair, a table and a kendo stick and leathering Show with them. Show eventually tore the kendo stick apart in his hands. Reigns eventually won after hitting the spear. He won the crowd over during the match, it seemed, took a fairly large beating.

Aman Tuleyev, the longtime governor of Russia’s Kemerovo region where a huge mall fire killed at least 64 people including 41 children last weekend, resigned on Sunday.
"I submitted my resignation letter to the Russian president," he said in a three-minute video address released by his office.
Tuleyev, who had been at the helm of the key coal-mining region since 1997, said he could no longer remain at his post with "such a heavy burden" and added that his resignation was "the only right choice".
At least 64 people – including 41 children – died when a huge fire ravaged a mall in the industrial city of Kemerovo in western Siberia last Sunday.
The tragedy – in which some parents lost all their children – plunged Russia into shock.
Many people who lost relatives have said they died because of the inaction of firefighters and police lacking the necessary equipment and skills.
Tuleyev himself came under heavy criticism for failing to visit the scene of the tragedy in the first few days or meet with angry relatives.

President Vladimir Putin had initially refused to sack the 73-year-old governor despite rare protests in the city.
Officials have said that multiple safety rules were violated, the fire alarm system was not working and staff did not follow correct emergency procedures.
Six people have been arrested in the case, including the head of the regional construction inspection agency when the shopping center was developed in a former candy factory, and the general director of the company that owns the mall.
But distrust in Russian officials’ promises of a thorough investigation is strong.
"They’re not telling us the truth. Judging by everything, nobody saved the children, they closed them off and abandoned them," said Olga Begeza.
"It seems that our lives don’t count for anything. That’s the only thing my family has understood," she said.
In the days after the fire, tens of thousands of people in Moscow, St. Petersburg and other cities have streamed to makeshift memorials to the fire victims, bringing flowers

The US states of Texas and Arizona on Friday announced plans to send National Guard troops to the southern border with Mexico after President Donald Trump ordered a thousands-strong deployment to combat drug trafficking and illegal immigration.
The Texas National Guard said it would send 250 troops to the border within 72 hours and had already deployed two Lakota helicopters, while Arizona’s governor said he would send 150 personnel next week.
"The Texas national guard is preparing to immediately deploy with supporting aircraft, vehicles and equipment to the Texas-Mexico border," Brigadier General Tracy Norris, the commanding general of the Texas National Guard, told reporters at a briefing.
"This deployment has begun with the movement of equipment and troops today. Within 72 hours the Texas military department will have 250 personnel along with ground surveillance vehicles as well as light and medium aviation platforms," she added.
Arizona Governor Doug Ducey announced his plans in a tweet.
Secretary of Defense Jim Mattis signed an order for "up to 4,000 National Guard personnel to support DHS’s southern border security mission while under the command and control of their respective governors through September 30, 2018," according to a Department of Defense memo.
The memo set out that troops would not carry out law enforcement activities without the defense secretary’s approval and would be armed only in "circumstances that might require self-defense."
Mr Mattis and homeland security secretary Kirstjen Nielsen said the decision came after their departments "identified security vulnerabilities that could be addressed by the National Guard."
"Together, the Departments of Homeland Security and Defense are committed to using every lever of power to support the men and women of law enforcement defending our nation’s sovereignty and protecting the American people," they said in a joint statement.
"We will continue to work with the governors to deploy the necessary resources until our nation’s borders are secure."
Mr Trump had said on Thursday that the final deployment would range from 2,000 to 4,000 troops, and he would "probably" keep many personnel on the border until his promised border wall is built – spelling out a lengthy mission.
The move has heightened tensions with Mexico, whose President Enrique Pena Nieto said Mr Trump’s "threatening or disrespectful attitudes" were unjustified.
It has also raised questions about who will fund the mission.
The Pentagon could not say where the money would come from and Mr Trump admitted the White House was still "looking at" costs.
If 4,000 troops were deployed, that would be about double the current US military presence in Syria and about half as many as the number of US troops in Iraq.
The National Guard has previously been deployed to help patrol the southern border, including in 2010 under former president Barack Obama, and from 2006-2008 under George W. Bush. Both deployments were limited to around a year.

If all it took to make it in the movies was a prodigious work rate and plenty of self-belief, then Lancelot Imasuen would be as well known today as Steven Spielberg.
The 47-year-old director has made well over 200 films in just 20 years, and reckons his latest romance – Love Birds – has the greatest on-screen chemistry since Kate Winslet and Leonardo DiCaprio got it together in Titanic.
Yet whether or not it lives to his hype, the chances are that Love Birds – which is due out next week – won’t be coming to a cinema near you.
Its creator is currently a household name only in his native Nigeria, where he’s among thousands of players in the ultra-low budget local film industry known as Nollywood….

Donald Trump condemned as "disgraceful" a leak of dozens of questions Robert Mueller wants to ask the US president in a face-to-face interview.
Mr Mueller, the special counsel appointed to investigate Russian meddling in the 2016 US election, submitted more than 40 proposed questions to Mr Trump’s lawyers.
The questions indicated he wants to focus on whether Mr Trump attempted to obstruct justice by blocking the probe, and any links between his campaign and Russia.
Mr Mueller’s team read the inquiries over the telephone to Mr Trump’s lawyers who compiled them into a list.
That list was then leaked to the New York Times by "a person outside Mr Trump’s legal team," the newspaper said.
Mr Trump, writing on Twitter, said: "So disgraceful that the questions concerning the Russian Witch Hunt were ‘leaked’ to the media.
However, the list did suggest that Mr Mueller is looking into whether Mr Trump’s campaign coordinated in any way with the Kremlin, and whether he knew about it.
Did the Trump campaign collude with Russia in 2016? | The four investigations
Many of the questions were predictable, based on events that are already publicly known, but one appeared to stem from as yet unreleased information.
In it Mr Mueller asked: "What knowledge did you have of any outreach by your campaign, including by Paul Manafort, to Russia about potential assistance to the campaign?"
There has been no public suggestion so far of alleged outreach by Mr Manafort, who has been separately charged by Mr Mueller with financial crimes.
Mr Mueller’s questions gave no indication whether Mr Trump is an official suspect in his year-long investigation, which has been shrouded in secrecy.
The numerous inquiries related to potential obstruction of justice included whether Mr Trump had sought to fire Mr Mueller himself.
They also included what Mr Trump’s intentions were in firing James Comey as FBI Director, and whether he initially appointed Jeff Sessions as attorney general to "protect" himself from any Russia investigation.
In relation to Russia links Mr Mueller wants to ask Mr Trump when he became aware of a Trump Tower meeting in June 2016 between senior members of his campaign and a Russian lawyer who offered "dirt" on Hillary Clinton.
The special counsel also expressed interest in Mr Trump’s trip to Moscow for the Miss Universe pageant in 2013, and any discussions he had during the campaign about meeting Vladimir Putin.
Mr Mueller intends to ask Mr Trump about the dossier compiled by former MI6 officer Christopher Steele.
Mr Comey briefed the president about the dossier privately on Jan 6, 2017.
One of Mr Mueller’s questions reads: "What was your reaction to Mr Comey’s briefing that day (Jan 6, 2017) about other intelligence matters?"
The dossier included an allegation of an encounter involving Mr Trump and prostitutes in Moscow in 2013, which the president has vehemently denied.
Mr Trump’s businesses also feature in the questions, including any discussions he had with Michael Cohen, his personal lawyer, about a potential property deal in Moscow.
Mr Mueller also wants to ask if Mr Trump offered a future presidential pardon to Michael Flynn, his former national security adviser, who has already been criminally charged with lying to the FBI over his Russia contacts.
The president has expressed a desire to sit down with Mr Mueller for an interview, believing it could hasten the conclusion of an investigation he has repeatedly called a "witch hunt".
However, his own legal team has been divided, with some of his lawyers suggesting the president could be opening himself up to a "perjury trap" by answering open-ended questions from Mr Mueller.
The questions were provided by Mr Mueller’s team in March and convinced John Dowd, Mr Trump’s lead lawyer at the time, that the president should not agree to an interview.
Mr Dowd resigned shortly afterwards amid suggestions his client was determined to ignore his advice.
Two weeks ago Rudy Giuliani, the former New York mayor, joined Mr Trump’s legal team.
Mr Giuliani said he is trying to establish whether Mr Mueller’s team would be "truly objective" in an interview.
Neither Mr Trump’s legal team, nor Mr Mueller’s office have commented on the leaking of the questions.

WWE officially confirmed that one of the most hard-hitting tag teams on the planet today signed with the company earlier this year. Raymond Rowe and Hanson of War Machine will be joining the NXT roster soon enough but have yet to be featured on TV aside from a quick cameo appearance at NXT Takeover: Philadelphia. The two did recently come out for a promo at an NXT live event, but they have now just had their first match in NXT. The two wrestlers made an significant debut by winning their very fist match in WWE by defeating the team of Adrian Jaoude and Cezar Bononi. Perhaps we’ll see War Machine on NXT sooner rather than later.

By now most wrestling fans have learned that Daniel Bryan was officially cleared to return to the ring by WWE doctors earlier this week. Several fans have speculated that he now will team up with Shane McMahon to face Sami Zayn and Kevin Owens at WrestleMania at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome four years after winning the WWE Championship in the same building. Bryan Alvarez recently stated on Wrestling Observer Live that there are indeed plans for the tag team match to take place at the event in New Orleans, but he also stated that the match could be made a street fight or an unsanctioned match. This match is expected to be Bryan’s first match back with WWE.
Raw Superstar Sheamus recently stated that he had been hearing rumors of another Draft/Superstar Shakeup show taking place soon after WrestleMania. Sure enough, new reports have indicated that WWE is planning to host another Draft in just a few weeks. A new report given during the Wrestling Observer Radio show states that the show will likely be taking place on the Raw and Smackdown shows right after this year’s WrestleMania on April 7th. If WWE does decided to hold off on doing the show right after WrestleMania, the event will likely only be bumped to the Raw and Smackdown shows taking place the following week. Either way, the Superstar Shakeup will be coming back very soon.
