2010 - Chessman wins the AAA Rey de Reyes Tournament, defeating Hernandez & Marco Corleone.

2010 - Jesse Ventura's TruTV series "Conspiracy Theory" was picked up for a second season.

2011 - TNA ran Rahway, NJ. Mike Johnson filed the following live report:

Pre-Show Notes:

The crowd looks to be in the 1,200-1,500 fans....There will be at least one surprise appearance from a TNA personality tonight....There was a meet and greet with Jeff Hardy before the show for fans purchasing a Hardy collectible truck....Don West is doing his usual incredible job pushing merchandise...Kazarian signed for fans before the show.

TNA's Rahway event began with ring announcer and master of ceremonies Jeremy Borash coming to the ring to warm up the crowd and push that the loudest fans will be getting a chance to go backstage and meet TNA stars. As you can imagine, that led to just about everyone in the building going nuts to get noticed.

This led to Gunner and Murphy coming out, forcing TNA executive Craig Jenkins into the ring to announce that they will not let anyone go backstage. They said that Jeff Jarrett and Jeff Hardy sent word they aren't letting anyone backstage. Borash said that there are going to be a lot of pissed off fans in New Jersey and ripped on Jenkins' sweater vest, saying he was going to make sure the backstage passes are given out whether Immortal likes it or not. Big pop for that.

TNA X-Division champion Kazarian vs. Robbie E vs. Shannon Moore

Robbie E came out with Cookie and with Angelina from The Jersey Shore. Angelina, who is now training at the IWF Wrestling School in nearby Wayne, NJ was an unadvertised surprise. This was E's TNA debut in New Jersey, his home state so as you can imagine, he got a big reaction. Moore received a lot of cheers coming out.

Moore and Kazarian tried to double on E. E backed off and took the ring mic, saying everyone was here to see him fistpump. The fans chanted Robbie's name. Kazarian grabbed the mic away and said that he may claim that the fans paid to see his fistbump but they really paid to see TNA action. He said that E may claim to be representing Jersey but he's really representing douchebags across the world. Kazarian ripped on Cookie and Angelina saying they were repping what happens when a midget and a garden nome have unprotected sex. E did the fistbump anyway and got a big pop.

Kazarian and Moore laughed at E so he challenged them to a fistbump challenge. They teased doing it and then gave him the finger and jumped him. Kazarian hit a leg lariat on E, sending him to the outside. Moore and Kazarian then went back and forth ending with a Moore rana. He went for a kick to the sternum but E hit the ring. Moore cut him off and instead E got nailed with a legdrop. Kazarian then hit a high elbowdrop.

Kazarian and Moore then went back and forth. Moore misseda charge in the corner as Kazarian went to the apron. E pulled him off, smacking his face on the mat. E then took Moore out. The girls ripped at Moore from the outside. There was an "Ink, Inc. sucks" chant. Kazarian returned to the ring and rolled up E. Moore charged him and Kazarian nailed a Northern Lights suplex as he rolled up E for a two count on both.

Moore came off the ropes on Kazarian but was grabbed by E. Moore reversed it into a bulldog takedown for a two count. E whipped Moore into the ropes where Cookie grabbed at his leg. E charged Moore but was backdropped over the top to the floor, almost wiping out Angelina.

Kazarian and Cookie had words and he chased her into the ring, where she was trapped between Moore and Kaz. Kaz grabbed her and held her as Moore spanked her. Angelina hit the ring to help but was spanked as well. E charged Kazarian but was nailed with the reverse piledriver and pinned.

Your winner and still X-Division champ, Kazarian!

A hot opener to kick off the show with a fast paced style and some good comedy stuff involving the danceoff and the Shore girls.

Jeremy Borash introduced Earl Hebner as the most infamous referee in history and the fans were all over him about Bret Hart. This led to Hebner revealing a shirt reading "Damn Right I Did!"

TNA Knockouts champion Madison Rayne vs. Velvet Sky

They did a funny bit where Hebner had problems taking Rayne's tiara off. Rayne tried to mock Sky by doing her gyrations on the ropes. Sky then tried to show her how it was done, only to be attacked and choked against the ropes.

Rayne tried to whip Sky into the ropes but was caught with a single leg takedown and rolled up for a two count. Rayne took a powder to the floor. She returned to the ring as Sky followed her to the floor. Rayne cut off Sky on the apron and tried to suplex her in. Sky tried to reverse it but had her neck snapped against the ropes and fell to the floor. Rayne slammed her head-first into the apron.

Sky was tossed back into the ring, where Rayne used her legs to choke Sky. Sky began firing back with shots to the mid-section byt Rayne cut her off and locked on a rear chinlock. The fans began chanting for Sky, bringing her back to life. Rayne cut her off and went back to the rear chinlock just as Sky was about to escape.

Rayne tried to drop down on Sky but Sky turned and Rayne came down on her knees, Sky was hit with a high kneelift and nearly pinned. Rayne rolled her to the mat and used her legs to pound Sky's face into the ring. Sky began arguing with the referee over his count. That distraction allowed Sky to nail a jawbreaker.

Sky mounted a comeback with several clotheslines and a kick to the face. She bulldogged Rayne and covered her for a two count. Rayne began screaming at Hebner and Sky pushed her into his arms. With some hesitation, he planted one on her and did the Flait strut.

Sky went after Rayne with a charge but was cut off in the corner and Rayne used the ropes for leverage as she scored the pinfall.

Your winner and still TNA Knockouts champion, Madison Rayne!

Decent match that the crowd loved, especially the Hebner stuff.

He measured and chopped Morgan in the corner then whipped and splashed him in the opposite side. Morgan continued tearing ay Morgan's face as the fans tried to rally Morgan. Morgan caught him with a big clothesline and collapsed as the referee counted both men down.

They returned to their feet with Morgan cleaning house on Hernandez with a series of hard rights and a clothesline. Morgan nailed a running charge in the corner, followed by a Fall Away Slam for a two count. He went after Hernandez in the corner but was kicked in the gut, Hernandez went to the top but was slammed off by Morgan.

Morgan called for the Carbon Footprint but missed it and crotched himself in the corner. Hernandez drilled him and went for the Border Toss but Morgan slipped out, nailed the Footprint and scored the pin.

Jeremy Borash plugged Victory Road tomorrow and then read a text from Jeff Jarrett, where he promised to make Kurt Angle tap out in record time.

TNA Tag Team champions Beer Money vs. Gunner & Murphy

Gunner and Murphy heeled the hell out of the crowd as they came to the ring. Beer Money tossed their shirts into the crowd then swiped their challengers' shirts off the ringside table and wiped their rear ends with them, then through them at Gunner and Murphy.

Gunner and Storm started out with Storm being forced into the corner. Gunner slapped him when he broke clean. Storm grabbed his beer and took a swig for encouragement.

A very good back and forth tag match where Gunner and Murphy had the chance to show a lot more than they usually do on TV. Good stuff.

AJ Styles vs. Jeff Hardy

Jeff Hardy received a pretty nice reaction as he came to the ring. Lots of girls screaming for him. Hardy teased throwing his shirt into the crowd but instead just tossed it out of the ring to a ringside table.

They locked up as the fans chanted back and forth for both men. Styles took the ring mic and said he remembers wrestling here before. He said nothing has changed as they are still the best fans in the world. He said that he hasn't forgotten where he comes from. Styles had worked for JAPW here in the past. Hardy took the mic and told the crowd to kiss his ass.

They locked up and went back and forth with some good counter wrestling. Hardy was rolled up but kicked up at two. Hardy retreated and walked around tSring. When he returned, they locked up again but Hardy nailed Styles low. Fans began chanting, "Same old sh**."

Your winner, AJ Styles!

Jeff Jarrett vs. Kurt Angle

Jarrett took the mic and ripped on some guy from TMZ.com for not respecting the business. He said that earlier today the guy tried to ask him if he sticks a sock in his trunk. He asked the guy to hop the rail and demanded he asked Jeff to his face. The guy did and Jarrett went right after him, choking him and shoving him around. Security ran the guy off. I am guessing this was a publicity deal for the TMZ website or TV show since they were here filming Angelina.

Kurt Angle came to the ring. Big chant for Angle. Jarrett made Borash announce that he does "not suck" which of course led to the fans jumping all over Jarrett. Jarrett then took the mic but changed his mind.

They locked up as fans chanted for Karen Angle and "Slapnuts." They started slow with some nice back and forth wrestling. Jarrett beat Angle down and Angle staggered against the ropes. Jarrett was caught in a suplex and Angle worked him over around the ring, then clobbered him with punches in the corner.

Jarrett kicked him into the ropes but missed a leap, crotching himself. Angle nailed the Olympic Slam for the pin.

Your winner, Kurt Angle!

After the match, Beer Money joined Kurt Angle in the ring for photos and autographs ($20 a pop) while Jarrett signed at the merchandise table and other talents mingled at ringside signing autographs as well. A pretty happy gathering to close the typically well produced TNA house show.

2011 - WWE ran Wichita, Kansas. Bill Fisher filed the following live report:

This was very similar to Friday's house show. It opened with the same deal where the GM set up a Battle Royal where the winner would get a shot later on at Daniel Bryan's US Title. Sheamus won, eliminating Mark Henry last.

Eve beat Nikki Bella to keep her Divas Title. They did the dance off too.

Santino Marella and Vladimir Kozlov, with Tamina, beat the Usos.

Evan Bourne beat Tyson Kidd in a good match.

Bryan (with Gail Kim) beat Sheamus to keep the US Title.

R-Truth beat William Regal.

The main event was different than Friday's show. John Cena and Randy Orton teamed up to take on The Miz and Alex Riley. They had a good match, which the faces won when they hit their finishers.

2012 - WWE broadcast Raw. Richard Trionfo filed the following TV report:

We are live from Cleveland Ohio, and your announcers are Michael ‘Why did they ask me to wear a Lebron James jersey tonight’ Cole and Jerry ‘The Heart of Rock and Roll needs a transplant’ Lawler.

Jerry is in the ring and he says that tonight is the first rock and rap concert on Raw. There have been some heated arguments between Cena and Dwayne. Each will have the opportunity to express themselves in their own words in their own way.

The first WWE Idol contestant is John Cena and he is going old school with the Mark Price jersey. Cena says that Rock wanted him to write his song tonight, but he would not be his mouthpiece. He says that Rock is like Lebron. He took his talents to South Beach. For the past few weeks, Rock has been legit pissed. He tells Rock that if he sings his song tonight, it is all in his wrist. He wants a week where Rock does not choke. He says that he might be GI Joe this summer, but he is a GI Joke. Rock has been begging him to back off. If Rock and Dwayne are the same person, they are both jackoffs.

After April 1st, he won’t be making any more movies. He will need surgery on his face, just like he had it on his boobies. Those popping pecs have had more work on them than a locker room of Divas. He has a gift for Rock. He is going to give him a Cleveland Steamer.

Team Bring It is Team Lost It. Last week, they weren’t chanting Rock, they were chanting Tooth Fairy. Keep making fun of him. He is not even close to sick of it. He is Mr. Kung Pao Chicken, while Rock is Miami Fried Chicken S***. He does not have balls, he has something in his place. He is going to beat Rock at Wrestlemania and put his nuts in Rock’s face.

Shawn Michaels is walking in the back and is he looking over his shoulder as he prepares to confront the Undertaker?



We go to commercial.

We are back and MGK and his many tattoos are in the crowd.

From MGK, it is time for HBK and Shawn Michaels makes his way to the ring.

Shawn says in three weeks, Triple H and the Undertaker will be locked inside Hell in a Cell at Wrestlemania and it will truly be the end of an era. Shawn reminds us that he told his good buddy last week that he was named the guest referee. Shawn says that it appeared that it was information that Hunter wasn’t aware of.

We see footage of something that Shawn wasn’t aware of last week. It is Hunter talking about how Shawn is a loser.

Shawn says that the last couple of weeks, he has been walking around the locker room and no one has walked up to him and called him a loser or a failure. No one has implied that he couldn’t get the job done. There was one person who has been absent the last couple weeks, but thankfully he is here tonight. He wants the Undertaker to come out to settle this.

Shawn says that after being through this for twenty plus years in the locker room, they always had the utmost respect for each other even if they weren’t on the same side of the locker room. They did something that will stand the test of time and people will remember it.

Shawn wants to know why Taker would say those things behind his back. He tells Taker that he thought he would have the guts to say it to his face.

Taker asks Shawn what he wants him to say. Does he want him to say that Shawn is a failure, a loser, or that he couldn’t get the job done? Taker tells Shawn that he needs to stop and think if he is repeating Taker’s words or is Shawn repeating the words chosen for him by his good friend Triple H?

Whatever the case may be, Shawn needs to let all of his insecurities.

Shawn interrupts and he reminds Taker that he almost begged for the match. At 19-0, he still has something to prove. Hunter beat him within an inch of Taker’s life last year.

Taker tells Shawn that he should know that whatever happens at Wrestlemania, win or lose, he is prepared to accept the outcome. Taker says that he will not accept Shawn putting his ego into this. Their two matches with Shawn Michaels and the match last year against Triple H were destiny. On April 21st(sic), that destiny will happen. It will be the end of an era. What can’t happen is for the outcome, win or lose to not be pure. If the outcome isn’t pure, Taker promises that there will be hell to pay.

Shawn tells Taker that he calls all of this destiny, but he calls it irony. Isn’t it ironic that the guy whose career that Taker ended could be the man who counts Taker’s shoulders to the mat. Isn’t it ironic that he could turn Taker into a loser, a failure, or a guy who couldn’t get the job done. Isn’t it ironic that he could end the streak?

Taker says that he will win in the Cell, the streak will continue, and an era will end. If Shawn does not do the right thing, he will end him.

Shawn leaves the ring and Triple H makes his way to the stage while Shawn walks to the back.

Time for some silent staring and then Hunter with a corporate crotch chop.

We hear Chris Jericho applaud Punk’s win from the TitanTron. Jericho says that he can see straight through Punk. He calls Punk a fraud. He found out a deep, dirty secret about Punk. Punk has been straight edge since joining the WWE but Punk never told us why. He says that it is because Punk’s father is an alcoholic who let Punk down every step of the way growing up. Jericho says that it is inevitable that Punk will end up like his father. Jericho says that he found something that Punk cares about and something that terrifies him. Jericho says that he almost feels bad for Punk. Is that why he has all of the tattoos? Was it to take the pain of drinking?

Jericho says that Punk is going to drink and Jericho says that he will be the one to make him drink. He says that Punk will hit bottom and then he will take a drink. It will taste so good that he will want to take another one.

Jericho says that he will be the Undisputed Best in the World and the WWE Champion while Punk will be known as a pathetic drunk.

Dwayne makes his way to the ring and he has his guitar.

Dwayne tells everyone that they just broke a record. It is the largest sellout crowd in Cleveland. He says that he appreciates people chanting Rocky, but they should be chanting Cleveland. Dwayne talks about sell outs and he mentions Marky Mark. He talks about the chain, the lock, and his hat. He says that was funny. That wasn’t John Cena. The John Cena we have known for the last 8 years is what would happen if Vanilla Ice banged a Teletubby.

We have a graphic of what Dwayne just said and then he explains it.

Tonight isn’t about a two minute rap. It is about something special. Dwayne takes a seat and he gets ready to sing.

Warden threw a party and he spent some bucks. Didn’t invite Cena cause he totally sucks. Cena started rapping, it all went south. Know your role Jabroni and shut your mouth. Let’s rock. Everybody let’s rock. Cena’s got a menstrual clock, but we’re dancing because Cleveland Rocks.

Little Fruity Pebble from Newberry, Mass. Rock’ll take his boot and shove it up his ass. Betcha you’re all happy you’re listening to me, not some goofy Eminem wannabe. Let’s rock. Everybody let’s rock. Ain’t no balls down in Cena’s jock, but we’re dancing because Cleveland Rocks.

Dwayne takes some water and then he asks if people want to hear a true story. He got it from John Cena’s doctor.

Little Johnny Cena went to the doc. Rock punched his jaw and the pain wouldn’t stop. The doc said Cena . . . I’m a fan, but stop begging for that rectal exam. Let’s rock. Everybody let’s rock. Cena close up that smock, but we’re dancing because Cleveland Rocks.

Dwayne has a story about John and Eve.

Rock saw cena making out with Eve. Grabbing on her thigh, tugging on her weave. Cena didn’t tell her that he’s got a wife. Let’s rock. Everybody let’s rock. Divorce lawyer’s right up the block, but we’re dancing because Cleveland Rocks.

Dwayne has another true story.

April 23rd, 1977. The doctor shouted send that baby back to heaven. Sorry Mama Cena, but check these charts. Little baby Johnny’s got lady parts. Let’s rock. Everybody let’s rock. Little Johnny’s got those lady parts, but we’re dancing because Cleveland Rocks.

Dwayne thanks everyone and he says that they are going to have fun. Dwayne asks if there are any grown men tonight who are John Cena fans.

Dwayne says that he sees a few. Time for a song.

Doesn’t really matter how hard you try. Never in your life will you ever taste pie. I know you love Chewbacca and Frodo too, but you’re a walking virgin and you’re 42. Let’s rock. Everybody let’s rock. You dress like Kirk and Spock, but we’re dancing because Cleveland Rocks.

Dwayne wants to know where the ladies are tonight and he has a special song for a special lady.

Rock’s getting some wine and a dozen roses. She’s going to meet his Holy Moses. Getting with the Rock is the bomb. You don’t believe me, ask Cena’s mom. Let’s rock. Everybody let’s rock. Cena’s mom can barely walk, but we’re dancing because Cleveland Rocks.

Dwayne says that there is only one way to end this night and the Rock concert. There is only one song and it is for the people. It is for Team Bring It and the people.

Time for a lot of catchphrases from Dwayne.

Dwayne tries to sing We Will Rock You with his own twist and he almost gets a few of the lyrics right.

Two of the aforementioned Preachers featured in the series were former NWA and WCW star Nikita Koloff and his ex-wife Victoria with their daughter Kolby Koloff. They appeared on the first two seasons of the series before it was retooled into more of a reality challenge in the third season.

2015 - TNA announced they had signed Bobby Roode, Tigre Uno and Rockstar Spud to new deasl.

2015 - Former ECW World champion Mikey Whipwreck penned the following for PWInsider:

It's never easy to say goodbye to your best friend, but today, that's exactly what I intend to do.

I first met Mikey Whipwreck in 1994 when he was inside the ECW Arena helping to set up a ring and having fun testing it with some friends. Somehow, that ended up with him having his first official match that night against Mr. Hughes, getting crushed in the process and falling "victim" to the Sidewalk Slam. Curtis asking, "Hey kid, you gonna jump real high?" backstage before the bout still bounces around in my memory. Mikey jumped REAL high and did his job that night.

That job led to a lot of other amazing moments. Thanks to a lot of really creative people, a lot of dumb luck and a lot of hard work, somehow, Mikey Whipwreck ended up the ECW TV champion, teamed with Cactus Jack, feuded with The Public Enemy, won the ECW Tag Team titles, feuded with The Sandman, won the ECW World title (what?), pinned Steve Austin (WHAT?) and ended up having a career that put Mikey in the same locker rooms with everyone from Sabu to Randy Savage to Tajiri to Hulk Hogan in ECW, WCW and even a few WWE appearances. He was even in that terrible Hardcore Junkyard Battle Royal in WCW! Although he's not too proud of that one ;)

I know, because Mikey Whipwreck was my best friend and he brought me, John Watson, along for the ride. I grew up a wrestling fan. I was the same guy who was standing alongside you at autograph signings and at wrestling events. If you know where to look, I was in the front row at the first Monday Night Raw.

Then, somehow, from 1994 to 2015, I crossed over and competed, appeared, performed (pick your poison, I sure did) as Mikey Whipwreck and had an amazing series of life experiences, achievements and frustrations. For every great moment in the ring or on the road, there was an equally humbling or aggravating moment in real life. That's not the wrestling business, that's life and when I look back, I've been really lucky and very blessed. My body may not agree with me most days, but I really have been.

But, it's time to say goodbye. This past weekend, Tommy Dreamer's House of Hardcore held an appreciation ceremony for me and played an amazing video not just showcasing my career in the ring but all the students I have trained over the years who have gone on to make their own individual mark in professional wrestling. I didn't know it was coming, but when it was over, the appreciation was all mine...my appreciation for everyone - the fans, other wrestlers, my heroes, my students and my wife and kids. It was due to them, not myself, that Mikey Whipwreck was even someone that will be remembered in professional wrestling.

At the end of the video, I also realized this was a really great moment to let Mikey Whipwreck finally get his well deserved rest and let him go, so I am. I'd retired once, maybe twice before, and came back, but this time, it's different. There's nothing to chase, there's nothing to achieve and the "fruits of my knowledge" that were passed on to me by Paul Heyman, Taz, Tommy Dreamer, Mick Foley and so many others, have been pretty much passed on to the next generation. Hopefully, they pass it on as well, because that's how it's supposed to work.

How it's also supposed to work is that in life, you move onto the next thing, no matter how amazing the old things were. You get older, you change, and you become content. All three of those are me.

It's time to let Mikey Whipwreck fade into the past. I'll never say you won't see me again, but the next time you do - if you do - you'll be talking to me about our old friend Mikey Whipwreck. He was a hell of a guy and I'll miss him, but as I said, I'm content. Content is good.

Thanks for everything Mikey...and most importantly, thanks to all of you in the wrestling business and those of you who love and support it, for even blessing me with the life I've had and continue to have.

2017 - WWE returned to Madison Square Garden featuring the first-ever in-ring meeting of Brock Lesnar vs. Kevin Owens. Mike Johnson filed the following live report:

World Wrestling Entertainment returned to Madison Square Garden for a Sunday 3/12 matinee event in New York City today. The show was a strong live event with a 25 minute main event featuring WWE champion Bray Wyatt pinning John Cena in an excellent main event, the first-ever Brock Lesnar vs. Kevin Owens match (more on that in a second) and a very good 16 minute match with Randy Orton pinning AJ Styles to open the show.

The show was originally set for 3/18 but WWE was willing to move it to this date in order to accommodate HBO Sports presenting the Gennady Golovkin vs. Daniel Jacobs boxing event on that day. Whether moving to a matinee helped the live draw or not I couldn't tell you, but the show seemed to be flush with families with lots of young kids at the event.

Greg Hamilton and Kayla Braxton did a really good job as hosts doing a lot of interacting with fans and pitching to different video features in the 30 minutes before bell time. They were actually voicing over shots outside of MSG to make the live event more uniform with the type of shots you see on Raw and Smackdown broadcasts. Hamilton also worked as ring announcer while Braxton made her way around the building interviewing children and reacting to things on the big screens. TV does Braxton no justice, she is far more gorgeous in person and brought a ton of energy. Hamilton, one of the strong staples of the NXT brand before coming up to the main roster, was also very good.

The official show opened up with a taped promo from Daniel Bryan welcoming everyone to the show and leading a "Yes" chant in a generic promo.

Shane McMahon came out and mentioned this was his return to the Garden. This was actually his first appearance in MSG in eight years. Shane pointed out his sons at ringside and said he was there age causing all sorts of havoc backstage when he was a kid. AJ Styles came out and complained that he wasn't in the main event of Wrestlemania despite being promised that by Shane. Styles said he gave it to Randy Orton and gave a hell of an argument as to why he should be in the main. I wonder if Vince McMahon was listening. Shane said that sometimes you have to make your opportunities and Randy Orton made his and tonight, Styles can try to make his. He told Styles he was having a match and his opponent was...Randy Orton.

*Randy Orton pinned AJ Styles in about 16 minutes with an awesome looking RKO off the top as Styles attempted the Phenomenal Forearm. The finish was great. It was an interesting crowd to observe early on as they went nuts for all the theme songs for the first three performers they saw, then got really quiet watching the match. That would remain the way the fans reacted the entire show, except the Owens vs. Lesnar and Cena vs. Wyatt matches. There was some very good back and forth here. Styles is just a hell of a heel at this point, but that's not news. Orton's timing was very good. Great reaction for the finish but the crowd was dead quiet for most of the match itself.

*Heath Slater & Rhyno & Kalisto defeated Breezango & Curt Hawkins. OK match. Hawkins' bit where facts about him are announced as he walks to the ring is just tremendous. The villains worked over Slater and Kalisto for a long time before Rhino got the hot tag. Everyone got a big spot in before they went to the finish until Rhyno hit the Gore on Tyler Breeze.

*Dolph Ziggler pinned Apollo Crews in a very good match with a desperation superkick out of nowhere. Crews is very good but you can tell the crowd has been given no real reason to connect with him. Ziggler is an absolute excellent heel at this point and it's a shame they aren't trying to position him stronger. He got a nice reaction for everything he did.

*WWE Intercontinental champion Dean Ambrose won an excellent Fatal Four Way over The Miz, Baron Corbin and Luke Harper. This was PPV level quality with all four looking very good. Lots of brawling early on. Corbin looked like a beast. Miz was smart enough to convince Corbin to help him work over Corbin, then played to the crowd while Corbin did the hard work. Tons of very good near falls including a great sequence where Miz and Corbin and Ambrose all kept schoolboying each other for two counts. Harper and Ambrose hit stereo dives on the opposite sides of the ring on Miz and Corbin. At the end, Maryse got on the apron and began berating Ambrose, who got in her face. Miz tried to attack him but Dean moved and Miz almost mowed down his wife but was able to stop at the last second. Ambrose kicked him and nailed the Dirty Deeds for the pin. Beyond Cena, Lesnar and maybe Owens, Ambrose got the biggest babyface reaction of the night, even more than Orton.

*Brock Lesnar pinned Kevin Owens with a F-5 in about four minutes. Owens came out with a KO-Mania 2 shirt, playing off the logo of the second Wrestlemania back in 1986. That is awesome. Huge pop for Brock. Owens attacked him at the bell and pulled Brock's shirt over his head, like a hockey fight. He beat Brock down in the corner and hit the running cannonball. It was all Owens for about a minute until Brock caught him on the ropes and launched him off with a German suplex. He hit a few more and a F-5 and that was it. There were some noticeable "bullsh**" chants after the finish but Lesnar's music drowned them out. There were also some "Goldberg" chants but not a lot after Heyman announced the winner with all his usual Heyman bluster and conviction. Crowd was totally into this and saw it as a big-time deal but the quick finish left disappointment.

They went to intermission after this with Hamilton hawking merchandise and pitching to footage of Becky Lynch warming up backstage for the eight woman tag that was to come later.

*After intermission, *Nikki Bella & Tamina & Becky Lynch & WWE NXT Women's champ Asuka defeated WWE Smackdown Women's champion Alexa Bliss & Mickie James & Natalya & Carmella (with James Ellsworth) in a fun match that never really stopped moving when Asuka locked the Asuka Lock on Natalya and got a tapout. They made this a LOT about Asuka as they played a video feature on her during intermission and did a deal where she spooked all the heels after she started whipping out big offensive maneuvers. Huge pop for Bella and a really big reaction for Asuka in her debut in the building. They played all the babyfaces' themes as they existed and closed out on Asuka who bowed on the stage and had her arms raised by the other women to a big reaction. It was Mickie James' first appearance in six years in MSG. When did Tamina turn babyface?

*WWE Smackdown Tag Team champions American Alpha pinned The Usos with a bulldog off the top. Good back and forth tag match, but you could tell the crowd wasn't emotionally connected to any of this.

*In his first appearance in MSG as WWE champion, Bray Wyatt pinned John Cena clean in the center after a low blow. This was an absolutely excellent match. The crowd took to Wyatt as if he had been a top star forever. Cena got the biggest pop of the night. The back and forth Cena chants started before his theme music even played. They went back and forth with some good action until Wyatt scored a two count after Sister Abigail. Flustered, he went to ringside, pondered what to do, then grabbed his belt and went up the aisle. He was counted out. Shane McMahon came out and restarted the match, making it a No DQ and No Countout match. Wyatt returned and used a chair to work over Cena. Cena made the comeback and set up a table in the corner. They brawled to the entrance ramp, where Cena nailed a suplex on it, then went into the crowd. Cena grabbed a piece of guard rail from the crowd and charged Wyatt with it, nailing him. He then set it up at a 45 degree angle and suplexed Bray onto it. Back in the ring, Bray ripped off a turnbuckle cover and tried to send Cena into it but Cena blocked. Bray cut him off and after doing the "You Can't See Me" the crowd, which got the most heat of anything on the show, sent Cena into a chair that was wedged in another corner and then sent Cena crashing through the table. He was unable to pin Cena before hitting the low blow and finally scored the pin. After the match, Wyatt took the mic and said that this was now his show and he hated Cena and beat him and was going to now end his career for good. He attacked Cena, who made a comeback and hit the AA on Bray to send the crowd home happy.

This was the first time Cena was pinned in The Garden since 9/20/03 when he was pinned by Eddie Guerrero with a top rope frog splash during a three-way with Rhyno. That was a hell of a gift for Wyatt. Cena flew in overnight after hosting the Nickelodeon Kid's Choice Awards and was leaving right away to represent WWE at SXSW in Texas tomorrow before heading back for a live event in West Virginia and then further Northeast for Smackdown Live in Pittsburgh. That man is a warrior.
