* Detroit Street Fight
John Cena defeated Rusev with a AA through a Table to close out WWE’s last event at the Joe Louis Arena. This match was given a lot of time and fans were into it. Afterwards Cena said the Joe was where he first had his first PPV Match (WWE Vengeance 2002 vs. Chris Jericho) 15 years ago, put over the building’s history. Fans let him talk without interrupting like they usually would as he thanked the fans for great memories at the Joe and they would create more at Little Caesars Arena in the future.

Overall a solid night of wrestling as WWE says farewell to the Joe. Crowd was decent and hype up al night long.
