Nice intro video showing the history of WWE Starrcade.
Bobby Roode vs.Dolph Ziggler
Upper bowl is open and lower bowl completely full. Solid turnout. Ziggler takes out AA after trying to take away a chair. Anderson hits a spine buster to set up Roode for the glorious DDT. Great opener!

12 man tag up next.
Breezango, Dillinger, Ascension, and Sin Cara vs. Rusev, The Colons, Mike Kanellis, and Bludgeon Bros.
Bludgeon Bros pick up the win with their finish and take out half their own team for good measure. Solid crowd response as well.

Naomi vs. Tamina
Naomi picks up the win. Those two definitely work at 2 completely different speeds.
– Winner: Naomi
Dusty Rhodes tribute ahead of the Dustin Rhodes/Dash Wilder match. Rhodes with quick win with a Bulldog. Bionic elbow as well. Perfect little tribute match. Rhodes cuts a family orirented promo after the match.
Ricky “The Dragon” Steamboat our next. Calls Greensboro Coliseum their Madison Square Garden.
United States Title Match
Shinsuke Nakamura vs. Baron Corbin
Hitting all the high notes in this one. Good back and forth so far. Kinshasa for a two! Corbin grabs a chair for the blatant DQ.
– Winner: Shinsuke Nakamura by DQ
Hardy Boyz out next. King Maxel even makes a cameo!
– The Hardy Boyz came out and thanked wrestling fans from North Carolina for letting them compete for the last 25 years. They brought out the Rock and Roll Express, and also aired a video package on them. A twerk-off with the aforementioned and New Day. Sami and KO break up the twerk off.
Fatal 4-way Match:
The Usos vs. Kevin Owens & Sami Zayn vs. The New Day vs. Shelton Benjamin & Chad Gable
Super kick party anyone? Usos win thematch. The Usos retain the WWE SmackDown Tag Team title.
– Winner: The Usos
Intermission at the moment. Cage almost up and ready. The ever present @WWERobinson assisting the ring crew.
We’re back with a Ric Flair tribute and intro before the SD Live Women’s Championship match.
WWE Smackdown Women’s championship:
Charlotte Flair (with Ric Flair) vs. Natalya (Steel Cage Match)
Cage finally coming into play as Nattie attempts to escape and bounces off. Charlotte retains in a solid championship bout. Figure Eight makes Natalya tap.
– Winner: Charlotte
WWE Championship Match:
AJ Styles © Vs. Jinder Mahlal
Can definitely see what WWE sees in Mahal as far as a “look.” He towers over Styles. Phenomenal Forearm looks to be a difficult task with an old school cage the same size as the ring apron. Not a lot of springboard room.
Singh Bros have entered the fold. Attempt to get into the ring but no dice…yet. And just as I press send, they slip through to break up the calf crusher. Cool spot where a Singh got thrown into the cage and bounced right back to AJ for a Styles Clash. Styles retains by climbing and escaping the cage. Styles kicks the open door on Mahal as Jen attempts to escape.
– Winner: AJ Styles
