WWE Live Event Results: Worcester, MA (03/20/2017)
Did Bliss leave Worcester as champion?
The WWE
Raw crew might have been in Brooklyn last night for the penultimate
episode of the flagship show on the Road to WrestleMania, but that
certainly doesn’t mean that the superstars of SmackDown LIVE had the
night off. The blue brand was in Worcester, Massachusetts for a live
event featuring a stacked roster and some top quality matches, as
SmackDown continues to make a compelling argument for being the best
show on WWE television right now.
The card featured three
championship matches along with a Worcester Street Fight, and the full
results and review can be found below.
#1 Randy Orton vs. The Miz
The
show opened with two former World Champions doing battle in the shape
of Randy Orton and The Miz. Whilst The Viper may well be towing the line
between heel and face on television, he was in full babyface mode here,
picking up the win over the former Intercontinental Champion with a
crowd-p
Result: Randy Orton defeated The Miz
#2 Kalisto, Heath Slater & Rhyno vs. Curt Hawkins & The Vaudevillains
Could
there be a SmackDown LIVE team of three lower guys than Curt Hawkins
& The Vaudevillains? The babyface trio of Kalisto, Heath Slater
& Rhyno had little trouble putting away Hawkins, English and Gotch
in what was a throwaway match between six men with little direction.
Speaking
of SmackDown LIVE stars with little direction, Dolph Ziggler and Apollo
Crews continued their frustrating feud at the live event in Worcester,
with The Showoff picking up the win over Crews. Neither man has much on
their plate at WrestleMania 33 and will be hoping for renewed focus in
the post-WrestleMania landscape.
Result: Dolph Ziggler defeated Apollo Crews
#4 SmackDown Women’s Championship: Alexa Bliss vs. Mickie James vs. Carmella vs. Natalya vs. Tamina Snuka
The
first title match of the evening was something of a WrestleMania
teaser, as Alexa Bliss defended her SmackDown Women’s Championship
against four competitors in the shape of Mickie James, Carmella, Natalya
and the recently-returned Tamina Snuka. Bliss was able to escape
Worcester with her title, but will she be able to survive even more foes
at the Show of Shows?
Result: Alexa Bliss defeated Mickie James, Carmella, Natalya and Tamina Snuka and retained her championship.
