WWE Live Event Results: Vancouver, Canada (2/2/2019)
The SmackDown roster stopped by in Vancouver, Canada for a live event in which all the major names of the blue brand barring AJ Styles and Randy Orton were in action.
Daniel Bryan put his WWE title on the line in an exciting triple threat main even encounter while Charlotte took on Asuka for the SmackDown Women's title. Becky Lynch missed the show as she has been reportedly kept on the sidelines due to a storyline knee injury.
The biggest surprise of the night was provided by NXT superstar Kairi Sane, who made a surprise appearance and also competed in an impromptu match. John Cena was also spotted at the show, however, he was not involved in any of the matches or segments. Weird! The Cenation leader was in Vancouver for a movie shot and may have just dropped by to met his fellow WWE colleagues.
On that note, let's get to the results and highlights then, shall we?
#1 Seamus and Cesaro vs. Big E and Xavier Woods
Veteran tag teams The Bar and The New Day put on a solid opener to get things rolling for the evening.
The 20-minute match was solid considering the talent involved. New Day predictably got great cheers all throughout the match and ended up winning it with the Midnight Hour. All in all, a great way to begin a house show.
Result: The New Day def. The Bar
#2 Shelton Benjamin vs. Jeff Hardy
The Gold Standard came out to the ring and cut a promo expressing his frustration regarding his job. He then issued an open challenge to the entire roster and The Charismatic Engima was on standby to answer the call.
Hardy came out to a great pop and made quick work of the former United States Champion. All it took were two Twists of Fate followed by the Swanton Bomb for Hardy to pick up the win.
Result: Jeff Hardy def. Shelton Benjamin
