WWE/NXT Live Event Reports, Oct. 5-9: Jordan & Hardy Team, Kevin Owens & Sami Zayn, Undisputed Era In Tag Action
It was another busy week on the road for WWE.
The Raw crew, once again, was headlined by a series of singles matches pitting Roman Reigns against Braun Strowman. This time, each match on the loop had a Last Man Standing gimmick. The Raw shows also had Jason Jordan and Matt Hardy continue to tag together.
Smackdown held a pair of events bracketing its Hell in a Cell pay-per-view this past Sunday. The night after the pay-per-view, in East Lansing, Sami Zayn defeated Mike Kanellis following a distraction by Kevin Owens — this, fresh off Zayn helping his longtime nemesis Owens in the Hell in a Cell match against Shane McMahon.
The Undisputed Era headlined two of the three cards on the latest NXT loop of Florida, taking part in six-man tag main events on both cards in which they appeared.
