WWE Raw live event
Washington, D.C.
Report by Dot Net reader Jose Carrillo

1. Dolph Ziggler won a ten-man Battle Royal to earn a U.S. Title match. I arrived late so can't say too much about it.

2. Beth Phoenix defeated Eve to retain the WWE Divas Championship. The Bella Twins came out as the Special guest referee and bell ringer. Beth won after a Glam Slam. After the match, the Bella Twins jumped Eve only to have Kelly Kelly come out wearing a Caps Jersey to save the day. For a Divas match, I give it a 3.0 out of 5.0.

Howard Finkle introduced Mick Foley who cut a promo on how he's back in D.C. Swagger come out and demanded a match and Foley introduced Jerry Lawler.

3. Jerry Lawler defeated Jack Swagger after a rollup pin. After the match, Swagger started to attack Lawler. Mick Foley pulled out Mr. Socko and made Swagger eat it. 3/5

4. Alex Riley and Mason Ryan defeated Tyler Reks and Curt Hawkins. Riley and Ryan won after Curt Hawkins ate a House of Pain by Ryan. Nothing to special, crowd wasn't into the match. 2/5

5. Santino Marella defeated David Otunga. Santino won when he delivered The Cobra. A funny match more than anything. 2.5/5

Dolph came out and attacked Santino. Then Vickie Guerrero came out saying how Ziggler is winning back the Championship tonight. Zack Ryder came out to one of the biggest pops of the night.

6. Zack Ryder defeated Dolph Ziggler for the United States Championship. Ziggler defeated Ryder, but the match was restarted due to his foot on the rope. Ryder defeated Ziggler via Rough Ryder. These two always put on pretty good matches. 3.5/5

7. John Cena defeated Kane by DQ. Kane came out to a more cheers than boos which was nice. Cena came out to a split crowd. Cheers and boos. Cena won after Kane gave him a body shot with a chair. Cena gave Kane an AA afterwards. Not the most exciting match, but it was nice to see Kane live. 3/5

8. C.M. Punk defeated The Miz in a cage match to retain the WWE Championship. A lot of near escapes throughout this match. Punk had by far the biggest pop of the night while the Miz had the most Heat. Punk beat Miz after delivering a GTS. It was probably the match of the night. It kept me thinking that they were actually going to give the Miz the title back. 4/5

Biggest Pop: 
1.Cm Punk
2.Zack Ryder
3.Mick Foley

Most Heat:
1.The Miz
2.John Cena
3.Dolph Ziggler
