Your winner, Alexa Bliss!
An extremely entertaining and frenetic ladder match where everyone had a big moment, and everyone worked hard and took some great bumps. Far superior to last year’s ladder match in my opinion. I absolutely loved this and it was the best thing on the show so far. They rocked the house and worked their butts off.
Backstage, Paige and Kurt Angle were talking about how great the co-branded shows were. Constable Corbin reminded Angle that Stephanie wouldn’t be happy if they didn’t get the other briefcase. Paige asked him if he had an attitude because last year, he failed to cash in. He reminded Angle to get it done and walked off.
Roman Reigns vs. Jinder Mahal.
There was a “Well Dunn” sign as Roman came to the ring. Chicago, I love you.
Sunil was in a wheelchair for his introduction of Mahal, selling the latest beating from Roman Reigns. They had a lot of camera shots focusing on him. So, he’s going to play Ron Wright in Smoky Mountain Wrestling.
They slugged it out at the bell. Roman took Jinder down with an elbow. Big CM Punk chant within a minute of the bell. Jinder kicked Roman as he rebounded off the ropes but was nailed with a Samoan Drop for a two count.
The crowd chanted “Boring” and “NXT.”
Reigns went for the Drive-By but missed. Sunil leapt out of the wheelchair and shoved Reigns into the ring post and went back to selling he was hurt. Jinder worked over Reigns and drilled him with a knee for a two count.
The crowd chanted for “Rusev Day” and followed that up with “This is awful.”
Jinder locked on a side chinlock, wearing down Roman. He wore down Roman for a long time, grinding down. Roman made his way to his feet and battled back with right hands. He went to the apron outside but was shoulderblocked off and into the barricade. Jinder followed and grabbed Roman by the hair. He brought Reigns back into the ring and scored a two count.
Jinder continued the assault on Roman, beating him down. Lots of big pops and boos in he crowd having nothing to do with the match. I just received a text there are "beachballs everywhere" in the crowd. Every time one is destroyed there is a big "a**hole" chant in the Allstate Arena.
Roman began making a comeback. Fans in the venue are doing the wave. Jinder nailed him and went to the ropes but Roman nailed him. Roman nailed a series of clotheslines in the corner. The audience has completely given up on the match and are trying to entertain themselves.
Jinder caught Roman as he rebounded off the ropes with a high knee and scored a two count. He was upset Roman kicked out. Roman tried for a Samoan Drop but Jinder slipped out. Roman nailed him and scored another two count. Roman went for the Superman Punch as the crowd booed but Jinder avoided it and they went back and forth. Jinder caught him with a big gutbuster for a two count.
Fans are chanting "Take it home" and "end this match."
I actually feel bad for these two as the work here isn't bad at all but the audience is completely sh**ting on them live. Jinder set up for his finisher but Reigns escaped and nailed the Superman punch for a two count.
Fans are now chanting "Y2J."
Roman went for the spear but was kicked in the face and tossed into the ring post. Jinder went to nail Reigns, who was on the apron but was caught with a knee. Roman drilled him again and went to the floor, hitting a Drive-by on Jinder. As he went to return to the ring, Roman was shoved again by Sunil but this time Roman stopped him.

Roman nailed another on Jinder, then speared Sunil on the floor. As he returned to the ring, Jinder caught him with a small package for a close two count. Roman kicked up, speared Jinder and scored the pin.
Your winner, Roman Reigns!
The story here was that the crowd completely rejected everything and I mean everything going on, but the actual match was nowhere near as bad as that would lead you to believe. Singh did a great job as Jinder's toadie. Jinder had one of the best matches he's had in forever. Roman was his usual good self. The problem was the audience live didn't want to see it.
WWE aired a great video feature on Katie Miller, an athlete in the Special Olympics games in Seattle that are forthcoming.
