Another Report For WWE Live Event In Cardiff: Dean Ambrose Pins Seth Rollins, Vince Promo Booed

Thanks to WrestlingINC.com reader Mark Abraham (@markabraham89) for sending in these results from Thursday's WWE live event in Cardiff, Wales.

Once again, Network has been covered over on the ring apron following WWE's failure to launch the network and subsequent fan backlash. For the first time in years, there appears to be a good amount of seats on the side risers empty.

* Sheamus defeated The Miz (w/ Damien Mizdow) by pinfall after a Brogue Kick. Great kickoff to the show, crowd got behind the comedic brilliance of Mizdow at ringside and Sheamus always gets a great reaction in Cardiff.

The Vince apology video got thunderous boos once again. The UK wants the Network: end of!

* Los Matadores and El Torito defeated Slater Gator and Hornswoggle. This was the interactive fans choice match. The crowd tweeted in favor of a six-man tag match over a six-man dance off. Solid contest from start to finish but you have to think Titus O'Neill is being wasted in that spot.

* Mark Henry defeated Xavier Woods by pinfall after the World's Strongest Slam. Squash match that saw Henry induct Woods into the Hall of Pain after Woods tried to get answers from Henry for his heel turn.

* AJ Lee defeated Nikki Bella and Paige (w/ Brie Bella). This was scheduled as a Divas tag match but Nikki invoked the perks of her win at Hell in a Cell and forced Brie to be in her corner. Brie got a Yes! chant going but ended up being shoved down by her twin and smacked around after the match.

* US Title match: Big Show defeated Rusev (w/ Lana) by DQ after Rusev attacked Show with a steel chair. Solid big man match, great stage for a Rusev to show what he can do. Mark Henry came down after Rusev worked him over with the steel chair and applied the Accolade. After a brief scuffle with Big Show, the Worlds Largest Athlete dropped the Worlds Strongest Man with a KO Punch.

* Jack Swagger (w/ Zeb Colter) defeated Damien Mizdow via submission with the Patriot Lock. Decent match, lots of We the People moments for the live audience.

* Kofi Kingston and Big E defeated Luke Harper and Eric Rowan by pinfall. Fun, physical tag team encounter. Harper was a stand-out performer and Kofi was far from afraid to throw himself around the ring. Lots of high impact, big spot moments.

* Dean Ambrose defeated Seth Rollins by pinfall in a Street Fight. Amazing, TV quality affair from two of WWE's hottest properties. Ambrose had the crowd eating out of the palm of his hand, winning after dropped a huge elbow drop on Rollins and driving him through a table. This was the 2nd attempt at the finish as they accidentally broke the table leg the first time round, which both the referee and ringside security tried to fix. Both guys went through tables, felt the sting of chairs and kendo sticks. Who needed Bray Wyatt?

WWE Live will return to Cardiff on April 12th 2015.
