WWE Live Event Results: Lexington, Kentucky (July 16, 2017)
The Superstars of Raw were in Lexington, Kentucky, for a Live Event that was headlined by a match between free agent John Cena and Bray Wyatt. Reigns and Samoa Joe — who will do battle for an opportunity to dethrone Brock Lesnar at Summerslam — were notably absent from the show. Reluctant tag team partners Seth Rollins and Dean Ambrose squared off with Bo Dallas and Curtis Axel from the Miztourage. So, without any further ado, let’s get to the results:
#1 Heath Slater & Rhyno & Apollo Crews vs. Luke Gallows & Karl Anderson & Curt Hawkins
The heels controlled the majority of the opener, but the match descended into chaos towards the end, and Rhyno stole the victory for his team with a spinebuster on Curt Hawkins.

#2 Goldust vs. R-Truth
The battle of the geriatrics was mercifully short and ended after R-Truth pinned Goldust with a schoolboy. The crowd had little to no interest in this match.

#3 Akira Tozawa vs. The Brian Kendrick
This was a good match that eventually got the attention of the crowd. Tozawa picked up the victory with the diving senton.

#4 Finn Balor vs. Elias Samson
Samson played the guitar and took numerous digs at Lexington in an attempt to garner some cheap heat. Balor then came out to a good ovation, and both men proceeded to have a good match that was packed with several near falls. The Demon King eventually made a comeback and secured the victory with a Coup de Grâce.

#5 Dean Ambrose & Seth Rollins vs. Curtis Axel & Bo Dallas
Bo Dallas and Curtis Axel worked on Seth Rollins for the majority of the match until Dean Ambrose received the hot tag. The Lunatic Fringe then tagged in his partner who hit the running knee on Axel for the win.

#7 Sheamus & Cesaro vs. The Hardy Boyz
This was a hard hitting match filled with signature spots, and it was arguably WWE’s best offering of the night. Unfortunately, the finish was anti-climactic and didn't go down too well with the audience.
