WWE Raw live event
Tyler, Texas
Report by Dot Net reader Donnie Anderson

The show starts off with Miz's music and he comes down to the ring and does his little speech where he throws in his infamous "Reallly? Reallly? Really?!" line to the crowd and got a lot of heat from it from the crowd. And just when you thought he was coming down just for a match, Miz was attacked by R-Truth in a bad beat down where they battle in the ring, to the floor, down the aisle, up the ramp, onto the stage, until they are gone fighting backstage. The crowd really loved R-Truth!

1. Beth Phoenix defeated Eve to retain the WWE Divas Championship with Santino Marella as guest referee. The match was announced by the Beautiful Bella Twins! Now a lot of times I go to WWE events, the crowd is usually silent during Diva matches but this match was awesome and the crowd was into it just as any other match and not because of Santino! He was great and hilarious but Beth and Eve had a great match. Beth won with the Glam Slam.

2. Mason Ryan and Alex Riley defeated Mike McGillicutty and Antonio Cesaro (a/k/a Claudio Castagnoli). To my surprise, here comes Michael Mcguilicuty along with some dude I've never before seen in my life as his tag team partner!? Mcgillicutty, still sporting that backwards black baseball cap, haha! Their opponents? Mason Ryan and Alex Riley! They came out to a huge pop and the crowd loved them. I had wondered where Alex Riley had been! Guess you have to go to house shows to see guys like them which they should really be pushed more on TV. Maybe house shows are just their practicing for the real deal hopefully! Anyways, of course Mason Ryan and Alex Riley won! Both of them are straight Power Houses Now!

3. Zack Ryder beat Jack Swagger to retain the U.S. Title. Justin Roberts in the ring announces this next match is for the United States Championship and the whole crowd already knew what time it was and all you heard was WOOO WOOO WOO!!! Jack Swaggers music hits and he comes out to his lil push up routine and runs around the ring like normal and then the screen on the MINI titantron changed to Zack Ryders video and before he was even out on stage the crowd was going nuts! It was great, I believe everybodys really happy for Ryder from coming up from a nothing jobber to what he is today, he's great. And I loved the match him and Swagger had. Swagger def. didn't job to him at all and it was a good match. Zack Ryder won with the Ruff Ryder of course! Wooo Wooo Woo You Know It.....Bro!

Next was like halftime or whatever and I went and bought a CM Punk shirt! Great news, right?!?

I believe the next part of the show, when they decided to finally get back to the show after 20 minutes or so, all the lights went completely off, even the ring lights and the stage lights just like on this past Raw last Monday. And yep you guessed it. What does the crowd see through the darkness?! A Light Bright Jacket!!!!! Yes! Jericho!!! Jericho as actually here! I give WWE big props because they don''t have to do what they do for their fans! This was a lil house show in Tyler and they still brought Jericho there! Awesome!!! Anyways, he comes to the ring, crowd is going crazy, half booing, half chanting Y2J! He enters the ring and does the exact same thing he did on Raw, trying to get the crowd loud and see which part of the crowd was the loudest.

David Otunga's music hit and here he comes with his coffee mug and a microphone. This part was very hard to hear because the crowd was so loud. I heard Otunga mention something to Jericho like "How are you going to go to Raw and not say anything when the crowd has been expecting a major superstar return and you didn't even have one word to say to the WWE Universe!" Jericho simply did his lil smile looking around at the crowd, calmly walked over to the ring post, took off his Glow-Bright jacket and hung it, and turned around and put Otunga in the Walls of Jericho!!!! It's been so long since I've seen this move!!!  I actually still know it as the Lion Tamer!! This was great, then Jericho calmly got his jacket and left the ring!

4. Kofi Kingston and Evan Bourne defeated Primo and Epico (w/Rosa) to retain the WWE Tag Titles. Great match, very great, and not JUST because Rosa was prancing around right in front of me! Every show I go too, even before they were "Air Boom", Evan Bourne and Kofi Kingston always put on a good show, they are really the high flyers of WWE right now and they are pretty awesome to see live. I don't know what it is about Epico and Primo but i like them too, they have potential to be great heels. The match ended with Epico covering Kofi for the 3 count and they had actually won the tag team belts! I know how House shows work so here's the WILD FACTOR! Kofi's foot was on the ropes during the 3-count and the ref didn't see. While Epico and Primo and Rosa were celebrating in the ring as the new Tag Team Champions, referee's rushed from backstage to the ring to let the Ref that did the match know, that Kofi's foot was on the rope. (Not to mention everybody in the crowd yelling at this Ref dude telling him what was up!)  So the ref recalls the match and starts it over again and who of course wins with shooting star press? Air Boom!!!

Now here's when everything got exciting even more, everybody was standing up and had pushed their way to the metal gate surrounding the ring, the cops there couldn't even hold everybody back.

5. John Cena beat Kane by DQ. John Cena's music hit's over the speakers and his video starts playing on the tron and the crowd is going crazy trying to get pictures and just to see Cena coming out! He comes out and throws his shirt right where I am and that sucked to be in that area at the time, people were literally about to fight over that shirt haha! Anyways, to my amazement, (I thought Cena was suppose to fight Del Rio), Kane's music hits and here comes the big red machine in his entrance mask/helmet! This was awesome, definitely pay-per-view worthy! The whole match was Kane destroying Cena, but of course Cena had to win with the Attitude Adjustment! It was fun to actually start the "Let's Go Cena....Cena Sucks!" chant! WWE is even selling Cena Sucks shirts now at the t-shirt stand! Love it.

6. C.M. Punk beat The Miz to retain the WWE Championship. I had pushed my way all the way up as close as I could be to the ring for this match, I've never been so close before and I had to actually dodge some spit and sweat from CM Punk, it looked kinda bloody too, didn't want that hitting me! This was probably the best match of the night just because it was an actual match it felt like, you really didn't know who was going to win, Miz and Punk both were putting their all into it and really appreciate them for doing that, even for a house show. CM Punk, of course, wins, with the GTS. While Punk's celebrating on the ropes with the belt, Miz comes back to and R-Truth runs back out and hammers away again on the Miz and does his finisher to Miz. Then R-Truth and CM Punk are left staring each other down in the middle of the ring for like two minutes and they finally shook hands and that was it!. CM Punk stayed out a good 10 minutes afterwards going around to the crowd and talking and slapping hands, which was very awesome of him! 

Notes: I know this doesn't have to do with the event, but as soon as we finally got out of the parking lot, me and my buddy were dying of thirst so we stopped at a gas station about three miles down the road. We go in, get drinks and all that. I was sitting there trying to text somebody while talking to the cashier at the store and me and my buddy were the only ones in this store. I turn around to walk out and here walk in the three most beautiful women I had ever seen in my life. I was so aww'd at their beauty I just kept walking outside to my car thinking wow......wait...wasn't that the Bella Ttwins and Rosa Mendendes?!? My buddy walks out and gets in the car and I'm like "Dude I swear to God that was just the Bella Twins and Rosa that just walked into the store!"

He didn't believe me of course until Brie walked out by herself and go in her car and outta impluse I just was like "Bella Twin!! (Cuz i didn't know which one she was) Wassup! and she smiled and said whats up and I asked if I could take a picture with her and she told me to hold on and went and got Nikki out the store and they stood their and took pictures with me and my buddy, at this freaking gas station! I was totally in shock, they were so beautiful. Brie didn't even have all that make up on they usually do on Raw and she was still gorgeous! Never got to see Rosa, though, I didn't want to keep bothering them and make them been seen by other people if anyone else drove up, and I saw Rosa finally come out the store right when I was pulling out the drive way (dammit, I should have waited just a little while longer).
