WWE Live Event Results From Ontario (10/2): AJ Styles, Curt Hawkins Loses, Randy Orton, John Cena

Long time Wrestling Inc. reader Brian Reed-Baiotto sent this report for last night’s WWE live event in Ontario, California:

The Citizens Business Bank Arena was approximately 40-45% full, with literally no more than 100 people in the upper level. It is an arena that is about two-thirds the size of the Honda Center in Anaheim, or the Staples Center in Los Angeles.

Next: Apollo Crews came out and put on an athletic display in a win over Curt Hawkins, who got very little reaction.

The crowd seemed to appreciate Apollo’s athleticism, and he was good with the fans at ringside, taking pics and signing autographs.
