The Usos and The New Day were welcomed to a raucous reception by the fans in Hershey, following which Jimmy & Jey Uso asserted their dominance in the matchup right from the word go.

#2 Sin Cara vs. Tye Dillinger
Sin Cara’s match with Tye Dillinger didn’t last long, and saw the former upset ‘The Perfect 10’ in a flash victory. Dillinger continued his heel turn by using dirty tactics and trying to draw heat from the crowd while refusing to do the 10 chant.
The fans in attendance were left stunned by the surprising turn of events, as Sin Cara tricked his bigger foe and emerged victorious.
Result: Sin Cara def. Tye Dillinger
#3 Ruby Riott & Sarah Logan (w/Liv Morgan) vs. Becky Lynch & Naomi
The Riott Squad member Liv Morgan donned Sami Zayn’s trademark checkered tights and was ringside cheering on as her stable-mates Ruby Riott & Sarah Logan did battle against Becky Lynch & Naomi.
The first ever SmackDown Women's Champion, Becky Lynch returned to action after a lengthy absence due to a movie shooting and looked like she didn't even miss a step.
Following a back and forth affair, Riott & Logan bested Lynch & Naomi; proceeding to exit the arena with boos raining down from the crowd.
Result: Ruby Riott & Sarah Logan (w/Liv Morgan) def. Becky Lynch & Naomi
#4 The Bludgeon Brothers vs. Breezango
The Bludgeon Brothers aka Harper & Rowan were introduced at the event under their aliases/full names—Luke Harper & Erick Rowan.
The Bludgeon Brothers proceeded to ragdoll Tyler Breeze & Fandango—with the crowd firmly in support of the latter duo. Nevertheless, The Bludgeon Brothers dominated Breezango en route to a spectacular victory.
Result: The Bludgeon Brothers def. Breezango
#5 Shinsuke Nakamura, Randy Orton & Bobby Roode vs. Kevin Owens, Sami Zayn & Baron Corbin
Fans at the event noted that Randy Orton apparently has lacerations on his back, courtesy possibly a kendo stick attack. Additionally, in response to a fan screaming the phrase “You Suck!” at Kevin Owens, KO fired back by telling said fan that he probably has Owens confused with his mother.
Irrespective of the mid-match oddities, Shinsuke Nakamura, Randy Orton & Bobby Roode had a relatively dominant showing against the team of Kevin Owens, Sami Zayn & Baron Corbin. With Nakamura achieving what was probably the loudest pop of the evening, his team bested KO, Zayn & Corbin much to the delight of the crowd.
Result: Shinsuke Nakamura, Randy Orton & Bobby Roode def. Kevin Owens, Sami Zayn & Baron Corbin
#6 Rusev, Aiden English & Mojo Rawley vs. The Ascension & Zack Ryder
The entire arena was firmly in support of Rusev, as ‘Rusev Day’ chants echoed throughout the arena. Rusev, Aiden English & Mojo Rawley seized control in the early going of this matchup, and didn’t let go of their control until the deal was done.
The Ascension & Zack Ryder were at the receiving end of a significant beat-down, as Rusev, English & Rawley walked away victorious in the end.
Result: Rusev, Aiden English & Mojo Rawley def. The Ascension & Zack Ryder
#7 Charlotte Flair vs. Natalya, Carmella & Lana (w/Tamina)
In a strange 3-on-1 handicap match, Charlotte Flair took on Natalya, Carmella & Lana (w/Tamina). However, the matchup mainly featured Charlotte competing against Natalya, as Carmella & Lana did little more than engage in chit-chat ringside.
Furthermore, Carmella instructed Lana stating-- "Okay, it's time, let's go"—following which, they pulled Nattie off the ring apron. Charlotte Flair took advantage of the entire situation and got away with the easy win.
Result: Charlotte Flair def. Natalya, Carmella & Lana (w/Tamina)
#8 AJ Styles vs. Jinder Mahal
AJ Styles defended his WWE Championship against Jinder Mahal in a steel cage match.
Interestingly, as the fans chanted 'Too Sweet', The Singh Brothers fired back with "Two-Time" alluding to Mahal potentially becoming a 2-time WWE Champion in the near future.
Styles entered to a huge round of cheers from the fans in attendance; proceeding to execute several high-risk maneuvers against the Modern Day Maharajah. Mahal competed in the matchup sporting a blue sling on one arm but is said to have performed well nonetheless.
In the end, Styles bested Mahal yet again; successfully defending his WWE Championship.
Result: AJ Styles def. Jinder Mahal
