WWE Great Balls of Fire results:
– Cruiserweight Championship Match: Neville (c) defeated Akira Tozawa. This took place on the pre-show. Neville crotched Tozawa on the top rope, then kicked the rope to deliver a second low blow. Tozawa had trouble standing up, so Neville kicked him in the stomach and pinned him.
1. Bray Wyatt defeated Seth Rollins. Wyatt thumbed Rollins in the eye, then hit Sister Abigail to win the match.
2. Big Cass defeated Enzo Amore. Cass squashed Enzo, gorilla pressing him inside the ring to the floor and hitting a big boot for the win.
3. 30-Minute Iron Man Match for the Raw Tag Team Championship: Sheamus and Cesaro (c) defeated The Hardy Boys. Sheamus scored the first fall only 19 seconds into the match with a Brogue Kick on Matt Hardy. About 10 minutes in, Jeff Hardy was pinned by a tandem White Noise to make the match 2 falls to zero. Jeff was able to come back and hit Cesaro with a Twist of Fate to make it 2-1. Cesaro ran Matt Hardy into the ring post outside of the ring, causing Hardy to get counted out and upping the gap to 3-1. With 7 minutes remaining on the clock, the Hardys used a tandem roll-up to pin Cesaro. A few minutes later, Matt Hardy tied it up with a Twist of Fate off the ropes to Sheamus. Jeff hit a Swanton on Sheamus with only 30 seconds left, but Cesaro cradled Jeff and pinned him to steal a fall. Jeff hit a Twist of Fate on Cesaro with a second left, but wasn’t able to complete the pin before time ran out. Sheamus and Cesaro win 4-3, and retain the Raw Tag Team Championship.
4. Raw Women’s Championship Match: Sasha Banks defeated Alexa Bliss (c). Banks won by count-out, meaning Bliss is still the champion. After the match, Banks attacked Bliss, shoved her off the announce table and hit a diving double-knee strike from the table to the floor.
5. Intercontinental Championship Match: The Miz (c) defeated Dean Ambrose. The Miz-tourage repeatedly interfered in the match. Bo Dallas hit Ambrose from behind while the referee was distracted, allowing Miz to hit Skull-crushing Finale and retain the championship.
6. Ambulance Match: Braun Strowman defeated Roman Reigns. Roman tried to spear Strowman into the ambulance, but Strowman side-stepped and sent Roman flying into it, winning the match. Roman recovered instantly, though, spearing Strowman. Roman then put Strowman in the back of the ambulance, drove it to the garage area and backed it into a truck at high speed. Kurt Angle and agents tried to free Strowman from the back of the wreck and, I guess, call an ambulance?
7. Heath Slater defeated Curt Hawkins. This happened to kill time while the fire department showed up and tried to save Strowman. They eventually got into the ambulance and tried to take Braun away, but he refused help and staggered away bloody. The finish of the match wasn’t shown.
8. Universal Championship Match: Brock Lesnar (c) defeated Samoa Joe. Joe took the fight to Lesnar, but the champ was able to counter the Coquina Clutch into an F-5 to score the victory and retain the title.
