World Wrestling Entertainment’s second-biggest annual event — behind WrestleMania, of course — invaded Barclays Center on Sunday night and provided a bunch of interesting moments.

Let’s go over some quick results from the show. Feel free to check out our live blog for an in-depth look at each match, as it sure was a wild night in Brooklyn, N.Y.

Sheamus defeated Randy Orton.
Sheamus started the match by yelling at the crowd — classic heel move — for saying he looked stupid. The two brawled for a bit and Sheamus countered an RKO attempt with dueling Brogue Kicks for a pinfall victory.

The New Day defeated The Prime Time Players (champions), The Lucha Dragons and Los Matadores to win the Tag Team titles.
Bodies flew all over the place in this match, which tends to happen when you have eight superstars competing and a couple of sidekicks on the outside. The New Day earned the victory after Titus O’Neil squashed a member of Los Matadores and Kofi Kingston subsequently kicked Titus in the chops.

Dolph Ziggler versus Rusev ended in a double count-out.
It was only a matter of time before the “girlfriends” got involved. And that’s exactly what happened when Rusev locked in The Accolade on Ziggler.

Hot Summer tried to slap Lana. Lana blocked it and countered with a slap of her own, prompting Rusev to break his submission hold to confront his ex-girlfriend. A brawl ensued between Rusev and Ziggler outside the ring that left both men hurt. Zigger just couldn’t beat the referee’s 10 count.

Hot Summer and Lana brawled after the match. This one’s not over.

Neville and Stephen Amell defeated Stardust and King Barrett.
Amell joined Neville in using some high-flying tactics. The star of the hit TV series “Arrow” more than held his own and Neville eventually hit King Barrett with a Red Arrow for the win.

Ryback (champion) defeated Big Show and The Miz to retain the Intercontinental title.
All three men used their finishers at one time or another. Ryback retained his title by clotheslining Big Show out of the ring and covering The Miz after Big Show delivered a knockout punch to The Miz.

Roman Reigns and Dean Ambrose defeated Bray Wyatt and Luke Harper.
Reigns and Ambrose won in convincing fashion at the end. Reigns delivered a Superman Punch to Harper before working with Ambrose to deliver a Double Powerbomb.

Ambrose hit Wyatt with Dirty Deeds and then tagged in Reigns, who speared Wyatt for the win.

Seth Rollins (World Heavyweight champion) defeated John Cena (United States champion) to retain the World Heavyweight title and win the United States title.
Rollins and Cena put on a show. It was a back-and-forth match until Cena inadvertently knocked out the referee while delivering an Attitude Adjustment to Rollins.

Jon Stewart, former host of “The Daily Show” and guest host of SummerSlam, raced down to the ring with a chair as the referee laid unconscious. He attacked Cena, paving the way for Rollins’ win.

Team PCB (Paige, Charlotte and Becky Lynch) defeated Team Bella (Nikki Bella, Brie Bella and Alicia Fox) and Team B.A.D. (Sasha Banks, Naomi and Tamina).
Brie pinned Tamina to eliminate Team B.A.D. Team Bella then threatened to send Team PCB packing, too, but Becky eventually took advantage of a missed dropkick to pin Brie for the win.

Kevin Owens defeated Cesaro.
These two men beat the hell out of each other, even resorting to high-flying, high-risk moves amid their respective attempts to gain an edge. Owens ended the match with his signature Popup Powerbomb.

The Undertaker defeated Brock Lesnar.
The momentum swung like a pendulum as Lesnar and The Undertaker traded signature moves throughout the match. The Undertaker won via submission, but it was very controversial.

Lesnar passed out from Hell’s Gate after the referee didn’t see The Undertaker tap out to a Kimura Lock moments earlier. There was another low blow from ‘Taker mixed in there, too.
