1. Ryback defeated Big Show to retain the Intercontinental Title. Ryback got a huge reaction from the crowd, which was excited for the championship match. Both guys traded offense with Big Show playing to the crowd to get even more heat. Not much later, Ryback hit his Meathook clothesline as the fans chanted loudly “feed me more” and he hit the Shellshocked to remain the Intercontinental champion.

2. Cesaro defeated Bo Dallas. Bo cut a promo about chasing your dreams only to bash the crowd saying they probably couldn’t fulfill them. He then called the Island a dump with got it’s fair share of boos only to be interrupted by the Swiss superman Cesaro who got a big reaction that made me very happy. As the match began, Dallas took every chance to taunt and fool around even getting in a couple of victory laps until Cesaro cut him off. At one point, Bo went for a top rope move only to be caught by a stiff uppercut by Cesaro. The big swing occurred and the Neutralizer followed to end the match.

3. Neville beat Stardust. Stardust is awesome. He stood on the barricade and played with the crowd. When the “Cody” chants took over, he grabbed a microphone and reminded the fans that he is now Starrrrdust! He hit a stiff and painful looking Disaster Kick to Neville, who was on the apron. Neville took the advantage later on and delivered a beautiful Red Arrow.

4. Natalya defeated Emma. It was nice to see Emma, I’m sure most people didn’t know who she was or didn’t care but I thought it was a nice surprise. Natalya got a great reaction from a crowd that loved her. Lots of whistles from the men in the crowd as they saw the ladies. Emma got her offense in, even hitting her seated corner splash, but Natalya got the Sharpshooter in and finished Emma.

5. Chris Jericho over Luke Harper. I was surprised to see Harper do so many uncharacteristic taunts such as flexing his muscles. Jericho’s music hit at the place exploded. He made his way into the ring and took the microphone from Harper deliver those awesome catchphrases. “Harper will you please shut the hell up!” He also said “Como estas Puerto Rico?” which means “how are you Puerto Rico?” The crowd repeated every word as he also referred to them as Jerichoholics before looking at Harper and saying, “After I finish with you, you will never… Eeeeeever be the same again!” Harper dominated the first half until Jericho made his comeback. He hit a springboard dropkick to Harper and locked the Walls of Jericho on him until Harper reached the ropes. Harper then hit a couple of his moves including the super kick but Jericho took the win with a code breaker.

We had a quick intermission before our next match. They talked about Connors cure and how to help with the crowd clapping in respect.

6. Randy Orton defeated Sheamus. Sheamus got a good amount if heat and the “you look stupid chants” didn’t take long. Randy Orton got a huge huge pop, I believe the loudest of the night. The people couldn’t get enough of him. Mid match, Sheamus took a break to call every one else stupid ,including Orton, who then made his comeback. Orton hit the rope DDT and a suplex on the entrance ramp. Sheamus went for his Brogue Kick but Orton ducked out and tried the RKO again. Sheamus reversed with a small package but Orton kicked out hitting the RKO out of nowhere to end the match.

7. R-Truth over Heath Slater. Slater got almost no reaction. He did a little silly dance but that didn’t help. Truth was good with his What’s Up chants. The match started and Slater took the advantage. As he did that he decided to brag and say he outperformed Truth. Then he challenged Truth to a dance off because why not. Slater performed some sweet moves including the hammer time as “Can’t Touch This” played. Truth got a big reaction because he decided to play Marc Anthony’s song “Vivir mi vida.” Slater attacked Truth mid dance, but Truth hit the Little Jimmy to end the match.

8. Los Matadores (w/El Torito) defeated the Lucha Dragons. The Lucha Dragons came out first to and their Lucha chants. Los Matadores came out to a nice pop from their Puerto Rican crowd who welcomed them happily. They had their ring gear on but with some basketball shirts for the Puerto Rican team. The match was fast paced with some amazing offense from both teams. El Torito even got some action and Los Matadores hit some cool spring board moves. Eddie Colon hit a cartwheel which is a nod to his days in the Puerto Rican promotion owned by his dad World Wrestling Council. That got a big reaction from his hometown crowd. Los Matadores got the win a took the microphones to say how amazing it felt to be back in Puerto Rico and to thank the fans. Orlando took the mic and said it doesn’t matter if they say their characters are from Spain or what mask they using, they are 100 percent Puerto Rican and even threw in a “Puñeta” which is the go to Puerto Rican curse word.

9. Roman Reigns defeated Bray Wyatt in a street fight. Wyatt came out to an arena filled with his “Fireflies.” It was cool to see his entrance live. Roman came out through the crowd which was awesome to see and got the second loudest reaction of the night only to Orton. As the match started both superstars traded offense and going out to the entrance ramp and setting up some steel steps. Back in the ring, Wyatt hit Reigns with a kendo stick repeatedly until Reigns took the weapon and attacked back. “We want tables” chants filled the arena with Reigns listening and pulling out one. The table was set up in the middle of the ring and Wyatt went for his variation of a chokeslam, but Reigns got out with some elbows. He tried to hit the Superman punch, but he was caught and put through the table. Later, Wyatt was thrown into the steel steps outside the ring. Another table was set up near a corner by Wyatt, who tried to superplex Reigns, but countered into a powerbomb through the table. Reigns went for the three but Harper came out and broke the pin. He went for a power bomb of his own, but Reigns countered and hit a Superman punch on Harper and then a spear on Wyatt to take the win.

Overall, a pretty fun night. I was glad to see an entrance stage as the last time they visited there wasn’t one available. All the superstars seemed nice and the faces took many selfies and signed autographs for the fans. I do wish Dean Ambrose, John Cena, or Seth Rollins would have made the trip, specially Rollins, who got a big reaction alone when a promo for Night of Champions appeared on the Titantron.
