WWE Live from Buffalo: A Night of High-Flying Action

Buffalo, NY - The First Niagara Center played host to a thrilling WWE live event on July 26th, featuring a stacked card that left fans on the edge of their seats. From high-flying action to intense brawls, this night had it all.

The evening got underway with a 14-man Battle Royal, featuring some of WWE's most promising up-and-comers. In a chaotic and at times brutal affair, Apollo Crews emerged victorious, last eliminating Zack Ryder to claim the win in an impressive 12:42. The likes of Aiden English, Alberto Del Rio, Erick Rowan, Fandango, Jey Uso, Kalisto, Kane, Konnor, Mojo Rawley, Simon Gotch, and Tyler Breeze all played their part in a thrilling opener.

Next up was the women's division, with Becky Lynch taking on Natalya in a singles match. The "Irish Lass Kicker" proved her worth once again, outmaneuvering Natalya en route to a well-deserved 10:21 victory. This one had all the hallmarks of a classic encounter, with both women trading holds and near-falls before Lynch sealed the deal.

The main event was just around the corner, as Randy Orton faced off against The Miz in a non-title match. In a surprisingly brief outing (clocking in at 4:54), Orton's experience paid dividends, as he caught Miz with an RKO to secure the win.

However, it was the WWE Title #1 Contendership Six Pack Challenge that stole the show. This star-studded affair featured AJ Styles, Apollo Crews, Baron Corbin, Bray Wyatt, Dolph Ziggler, and John Cena - a veritable Who's Who of wrestling royalty. In a contest that saw all six men give it their all, it was ultimately Ziggler who emerged victorious, last eliminating Corbin to earn himself a future WWE Title shot.

In an evening filled with memorable moments, this Six Pack Challenge will undoubtedly go down as one for the ages. From Styles' stunning top-rope move to Crews' impressive high-flying sequences, each competitor gave it their all in pursuit of the coveted #1 contendership spot.

And so, another thrilling WWE live event came to a close. As the company looks ahead to its next major push, tonight's show served as a potent reminder of just how deep and talented the roster really is. For Zohash.com, I'm Simon Chambers, and that's my take from Buffalo.
