Match 1. DIY vs. The Ascension
All four men got some offense in early. DIY wore down Konnor as they hit an assisted diving cross body for a near fall. Gargano hit Viktor with a Samoan driver for another two count. After a running knee, Ciampa locked in a modified cloverleaf. Viktor hit Ciampa with a Tiger Bomb and won.
Whoa. The Ascension might have gotten their first win and a huge win at that.
Match 2. Naomi vs. Sasha Banks vs. Tamina - SmackDown Women's Championship
Sasha went after both women early. She hit Naomi with two German suplexes. Sasha hit Tamina with one as well. Naomi hit Tamina with a split-legged moonsault. Sasha locked Naomi in the Bank Statement. Naomi took out Sasha and Tamina caught Naomi with a superkick to win.
Wow. I was not expecting Tamina to pull this one out. A huge win for her career.

Jimmy hit both opponents with neck breakers. Jey hit Nick with a Samoan Driver. Miller came back with a Widow's Peak but Jey grabbed the ropes. He also hit a frog splash. All four men fought in the ring. Jey kicked out of a sit-out powerbomb. Miller kicked out of a superkick/diving splash combo. The Usos hit another kick/splash combo and got the win.
A great tag match for our second title change.

Match 4. Rusev vs. The Miz - United States Championship
Miz caught Rusev off the ropes with a big boot and then a knee to the face. He quickly hit a front headlock driver. Rusev landed a backbreaker and bicycle kick. Rusev kicked out of the Skull Crushing Finale. Rusev cracked Miz over the head with a bat. Miz shook that off and hit a second finisher but got a two count. He hit a third SCF to win the title.
Holy crap. These two went to war over the US title. Miz is resilient.
Match 5. Last Man Standing - Randy Orton vs. Chris Jericho
We haven't seen these two much. Jericho hit a back suplex and delayed suplex on the outside. Jericho later hit a brainbuster. Orton caught Jericho with a t-bone suplex. Suplex City! He continued to target Jericho's back. Jericho busted out the Codebreaker and a superplex. Orton could not answer the count.
A good LMS match. Not sure why it has the stip, but I enjoyed the match.
Match 6. Sami Zayn vs. Samoa Joe vs. Goldberg vs. Braun Strowman
This is a stacked co-main event. Goldberg hit Joe with a bat. Joe returned the favor. Braun pummeled Zayn on the outside. He hit the pump handle piledriver. Goldberg powerbombed Joe on the outside. Braun hit a second piledriver to get the win.

A car crash of a 4-way. Braun dominates.
Main Event. Undertaker vs. Macho Man - WWE Championship
Two of the all-time greats. Taker hit a couple of suplexes. He then sent Savage head-first into the post. Taker got a near fall with Old School. Savage took apart the announce table but Taker followed him by landing a dive over the top rope. Savage landed a super back suplex. Taker recovered and won with just one Tombstone.
Not the best showing from Savage. Maybe he's on his way out.
Recap: A good event with three big title changes yet Taker remains at the top.
