The Usos open up the show. Roman Reigns out with them too… it’s looking like this trios match is actually opening the show! Or atleast, they want me to think so. They have done the fakeout once before… hmm, no, looks like it’s starting!
Roman Reigns & The Usos vs. King Corbin, Dolph Ziggler & Robert Roode
Ziggler with a back elbow, Jey with a shoulder block. Tag to Jimmy, double team elbows, into an elbow drop for a 2 count. Ziggler tags in Robert Roode. Arm wringer, Roode takes him into the corner and pummels him. Uso chant. Right hand, chop. Jimmy gets taken to the outside, Ziggler Zig Zags him onto the steps! Very awkward there, did not look fun. Medics are out looking at Jimmy now. And now he’s being helped to the back. Ovation for him but it looks like Roman and Jey are on their own now. Commercial break.
We come back to see Corbin taking on Jey, ring around the ring post evaded, Jey with a back elbow. Up top, has to roll through as Corbin avoids him, Deep Six for a nearfall! Roode tags in, posts Jey. Stomps his arm, swinging neckbreaker for a nearfall. Tag to Ziggler, grinds the boot into his face. Big elbow drop, nearfall. King Corbin tags in, elbows, tag back to Roode. Corbin Sucks chant as they keep workign Jey over. He fights back, chop, dragon whip! Roman begging for a tag. Jey crawling over. Corbin rips Roman off the apron to prevent the tag, slams him into the steps, the barrier and then into the crowd! Another commercial break.
We again come back to see Corbin working Jey over and Roman still hasn’t managed to make it back to the apron.
Jey reverses a powerslam into a whip to the post. Roman finally back on the apron, Corbin grabs Jey’s ankle but he makes the tag anyway! Corbin rushes away to tag in Ziggler to eat the house of fire instead, big flying clothesline! Takes Ziggler into the corner, series of clotheslines, running big boot! Sets up for the Superman punch but Roode distracts the ref, Corbin grabs Roman’s hair, sets up a Superkick from Ziggler for a nearfall! Roman pulled out of the ring, gets stomped by all three men. Ziggler giving him the business, yelling in his ear. Takes him into the ring, elbow drop, nearfall.
Quick tags and isolation here. Roode looks for a Glorious DDT but Roman counters with a roll-up into a Deadlift Powerbomb! Jey Uso ready for the tag once more. Roman slowly crawling over, but Ziggler rips Jey off the apron and into the barricade multiple times. Just a total repeat of what happened before the last commercial. Throws him over the announce table. Corbin tags in to work over Roman a little more. After several shots he tags Ziggler in. Let’s Go Roman chant as Ziggler hits him with a swinging neckbreaker. Ziggler tuning up the band now. Mocking Roman’s punch gesture as he does it. Roman stands and blasts him with a Superman Punch!
And now, Jimmy Uso hobbles down the ramp and onto the apron!
Roman makes the tag! House of fire, combination of blows on Roode! Samoan Drop! Suicide Dive to Corbin! Takes Roode down, uppercut to Ziggler, up top, crossbody! Corbin breaks up the pin! Pulls him in for End of Days, Jimmy escapes, Roman nails Corbin with a Superman Punch taking him out to the floor! Knocks him around ringside, throws him over the barrier and chases him through the crowd! Roman throwing trash cans at Corbin, kinda silly that this isn’t a DQ but whatevs! Roode still laid out in the ring as Jimmy slowly scales the top rope again. Jey leaps from the announce table to clip Ziggler, Jimmy with an Uso Splash on Roode for the win!
Winners: Roman Reigns & The Usos
Hrm, some reverse momentum for King Corbin heading into the Rumble… not speaking well of Roman’s chances Sunday. Though it would make sense if Corbin beat Roman Reigns on the same night he won the Rumble to setup their true blowoff. Well, we’ll see where it goes.
Either way, good match! Was shocked that it just went off without a hitch as the opener, but nice stuff.
