You didn’t miss anything, they announced the Cesaro/Sheamus match didn’t count as part of their best-of-seven series.
Manila remembers:
A "Bullet Club" chant broke out for Gallows & Anderson. Shoutout to the smarks.#WWEManila

In case you missed it, Big Show broke the ropes and it was HILARIOUS.
Charlotte’s win came via roll-up and handful of tights, but maybe the conspiracy goes even deeper?
Wow #WWEManila I'm 100% sure @MsCharlotteWWE tap tonight I think she hacked into my bank account to pay the ref off!

Oh, Jericho...
Best moment of the night: @IAmJericho proclaiming himself as "the greatest gago that ever lived" #WWEManila

Sure, they repeat bits like that, along with matches, sequences and finishes, throughout tours like these. But if you’re a fan in Manila who hasn’t seen live WWE wrestling in seven years and you get to see something like this?
