WWE House Show Results (7/26): Melbourne, Australia – Top Stars Work Twice

The following are results from the WWE live event from Melbourne, Australia. The event took place on Friday, July 26, 2013.

-The Miz defeated Antonio Cesaro

The match was given around 15 minutes. Was said to be a good match. Miz was actually pretty over as a babyface, while Cesaro managed to draw decent heat.

-Natalya defeated Aksana

Was said to be a pretty bad match. A lot of rest holds. Finish came when Natalya forced Aksana to submit with the Sharpshooter.

-The Great Khali defeated Jinder Mahal

Apparently a typical Khali match here. Not going to win any “match of the year” contests. Khali went over clean.

-John Cena defeated Ryback in a Tables Match to retain the WWE Championship

Cena won his first match of the evening, a Tables Match, against Ryback. The finish came when Cena hit the Attitude Adjustment on Ryback through a table. Was said to be a fun match for the live crowd.

-Curtis Axel defeated Zack Ryder and Heath Slater to retain the WWE Intercontinental Championship

The depth of the roster was exposed here, as Axel won a pretty random triple-threat match. Axel went over clean to retain his Intercontinental Championship.

-Daniel Bryan and Dean Ambrose fight to a No Contest in a Melbourne Street Fight

This match was a “fans choice” match. The options were a Melbourne Street Fight or a Submission Match. Of course the fans voted for the local option, so a Melbourne Street Fight it was. Foreign objects such as kendo sticks and steel chairs were used. Seth Rollins and Roman Reigns from The Shield interfered on behalf of Ambrose. This led to Cena and Kane coming out to even things up. This also led to an “impromptu” six-man tag main event.

-John Cena, Daniel Bryan and Kane defeated The Shield

Basic six-man tag match. Everyone got some of their stuff in. The finish came when Kane got the hot-tag, cleaned house and won with a Chokeslam.

Live Notes: Was said to be a decent show. The event was nearly sold out, so there were close to 15,000 fans in attendance.
