World Wrestling Entertainment returned to China for the fourth straight year on Saturday, bringing its unique blend of athleticism and theatrics to Shanghai's Mercedes-Benz Arena.
The show kicked off with a match between 7-foot American Kevin Owens and Mexico's Manny Andrade that drew a flurry of laughter, cheers and jeers.
Among those who received the biggest cheers was Li Xia from Chongqing, Sichuan province, who won the crowd over with her kicks and spitfire personality. Much to the audience's delight, Li, the first Chinese female to break into the WWE, won her match.
