The Indira Gandhi Indoor Stadium in Delhi was packed full of excited fans who have been anticipating this moment since well before the announcement of WWE's journey to India was ever made official.
WWE brought a big show full of Raw Superstars and a couple surprises to the Indian fans and Jinder Mahal was more than excited to finally perform for his people that he represented for 170 days this year as WWE Champion.
The building was about 70% full by eyeballing it but everyone in attendance couldn't wait to see what the WWE Superstars had in store for them.
Finn Balor vs Bray Wyatt
These two are more than acquainted with each other at this point so it was a good choice to start out this Supershow. They've worked out a formula and although Wyatt and Balor might throw a little variation in there every now and then to keep it interesting at house shows, it's usually one of the same ideas. This time Finn Balor won with a Coup De Gras and the crowd was very happy to get this show off on the right foot.
Winner: Finn Balor via pinfall
The Miztourage vs Jeet Rama and Kishan Raftar
It's nice to see Bo Dallas and Curtis Axel are keeping the band together while The Miz is away because he really needs to go right back to leading them along upon his WWE return. But it wasn't Axel and Dallas' night in India as Rama and Raftar ended up pulling off the win.
Jeet Rama pinned former Intercontinental Champion Curtis A
It wouldn't be surprising at all to see Rama and Raftar pop up on WWE television soon enough
Winner: Jeet Rama and Kishan Raftar via pinfall.
Alexa Bliss vs Sasha Banks
This was a Raw Women's Championship match and the Indian people were really behind Banks. The Boss embraced the Indian culture on social media and that goes a long way to getting over in Delhi. Alexa Bliss might have won by pulling on Banks' tights during a roll-up pin but Sasha Banks received a huge ovation after the match was over because India loves The Boss.
Winner: Alexa Bliss via pinfall
Ladies and Gentlemen...The Shield
Elias vs Jason Jordan
Elias started off the match in his usual fashion of singing a great song on his trusty acoustic guitar. He insulted the Indian people and drew some intense heat while insulting New Dehli. He sang about monkeys, and cows, and dogs in the street. It was both highly entertaining and effective. The match that followed could have been better though, there were some loud "boring" chants with Kurt Angle's son pulling off the win in India.
Winner: Jason Jordan via pinfall
The Shield vs The Bar and Samoa Joe
The Shield is wildly popular in India which should have been expected. The Hounds Of Justice traveled to India in order to take on three people they know quite well by now. Reigns got a massive ovation with "Roman" and "We want Roman" chants scattered throughout the contest when Reigns wasn't involved. But all six of these guys were huge with the crowd.
There was also a spot during the match where Seth Rollins executed Hulk Hogan's legdrop and even did the rolling ear pop taunt to get the crowd over huge. Dean Ambrose also threw in some Hulk Hogan flexing as well which is a pretty big deal, to be honest.
Roman Reigns waited on the apron until late in the match to get the tag but when it happened the place erupted in a huge pop which turned out to be the loudest crowd reaction of the night. Cesaro took The Shield Triple Powerbomb to end the match.
Winners: The Shield via pinfall
After Intermission...
Apollo Crew and Titus O'Neil vs The Club
This match was short, sweet, and to the point. Gallows and Anderson are really being wasted in their current position on the roster because they could do so much more. This is evidenced by the fact that Titus Worldwide defeated the former Bullet Club members in India.
Winners: Apollo Crews and Titus O'Neil via pinfall
