12/4 WWE in Petersburg, Virginia at the VSU Multipurpose Center

This is a small venue on the campus of Virginia State University so everyone is close to the action. We're close to a capacity crowd.

Sarah Shrieber is our ring announcer.

Match 1. Gallows and Anderson with Mia Yim vs. Dominik and Damian Priest with Fin Balor. The OC got the win when Gallows pinned Dominik after the Magic Killer. Mia got to bodyslam Balor to a big pop.

Match 2 Xia Li vs. Emma. Competitive match which saw Emma get the win.

Video with Austin Theory saying  he will not defend against Seth Rollins tonight.  Adam Pearce comes out and says otherwise.

Match 3. IC title Gunther vs Nakamura. Very good match that saw the challenger get a lot of offense, but in the end the champ got the pin to retain.

Video in the back shows Asuka and Mia on the floor with Damage CTRL standing over them.

Match 4. Tag title match. Ridge Holland & Butch vs. Usos with Solo and Sammy Zayn who got a big pop coming out. Champs getting a lot of cheers. DQ finish when Sami Zayn interfered. This brought out Kevin Owens. Six man match was made...

Match 5. Brawling Brutes and Owens vs/ Usos and Sami Zayn with Solo. Match starts with chaos then Braun Stroman comes out. Match is now a 8 man tag confirmed by Adam Pearce. The Bloodline goes down to defeat when Owens pins Jay with the stunner.

Intermission.

Match 6:  Womans tag titles. Asuka and Mia Yim who end up being OK vs. Dakota Kai and IYO SKY with Bayley who did a good job of working the crowd. Lots of good action in this one. Champs reatain when Kai pins Asuka by holding the tights.

Match 7. Ludwig Kaiser and Giovanni Vinci vs. Elias and Matt Riddle. Matt pins Kaiser for the victory with a top rope corkscrew moonsault.

Match 8. U.S. Title Austin Theory vs Seth Rollins. They did in-ring introductions. Crowd chanted "Who's your Daddy?" at Theory. They also chanted Rollins sing a long. Action spilled out to the crowd including right next to where I was sitting! Good stuff once back in the ring. Theory tried to walk out but Seth dragged him back. Ref bump second ref came out. Low blow by Theory and he gets the pin. Post match the champ misses a belt shot and gets laid out with a curb stomp by Seth to send the crowd happy.

In summary, I hope WWE continues with live events. Everyone I've been to has been fun and the crowds are into everything.
