WWE Sydney Australia 2013 report - 27th July 2013, by Greg Tingle

Profiles

WWE Wrestling Allphones Arena

Zack Ryder defeated Heath Slater. Decent response for these guys. Much more buzz than on American television.

-Natalya beat Aksana with the Sharpshooter. Decent for a WWE Diva's match on tour.

-Great Khali beat Jinder Mahal. Good pop for Khali. Crowd was into Khali's size, and not much else.

-WWE US champ Dean Ambrose beat The Miz in a Sydney Street Fight. Ambrose was fantastic. Wrestling, reversals, weapons, and brawling. Almost 4 stars. Ambrose looked and acted like a world champ. Both wrestlers were massively over.

-WWE Intercontinental champ Curtis Axel beat Antonio Cesaro. Awesome 20 minute plus match. Axel showed just how good he is, and as a babyface with Heyman no less. Great house show match.

-Team Hell No Bryan beat WWE Tag Team champs The Shield via DQ when Ambrose nailed Bryan with a chair. They tried to triple team Kane but Bryan made the comeback save and everyone hugged it out. Very strong tag team match and all very over with crowd.

- WWE champion John Cena beat Ryback in a Tables match. Big crowd response for both. Solid match. Tables kept breaking in Ryback's hands at first. Crowd started chanting Goldberg at Ryback. Cena grabbed the mike and said the crowd should be chanting wanker at Ryback. Great in ring thank you talk by Cena at end of match. You can tell Cena really loves the WWE and wrestling for real.

This was the greatest WWE house show I have every seen in Australia. Most wrestlers worked hard and the crown was into most of the matches.

Other notes:

A ton of WWE merchandise was sold.

99% sold out. Only a couple of empty chairs in the far corners of the arena

Security made everyone who had a big sign hand it over to the cloak room!
