WWE Raw Live Event
Lexington, Ky. at Rupp Arena
Report by Dot Net reader Ben Shearing

An awesome card and all of the wrestlers worked their asses off. The event started right at 7 p.m.

1. Brodus Clay (w/Cameron, Naomi) beat JTG.

Justin Roberts informed us we could choose the stipulation for the Intercontinental Title match between The Miz and Zack Ryder. Either a Street Fight or a 2 out of 3 falls match.

2. Tensai beat Tyson Kidd

3. Layla beat Beth Phoenix to retain the WWE Divas Championship.

4. The Miz beat Zack Ryder in a Street Fight to retain the Intercontinental Title. There was a pre-match promo from Miz saying that we should pick a best of three falls match so that we can see him beat Ryder twice. He went back and forth with the crowd where he would say the stipulation and we would either cheer or boo.

5. Kofi Kingston and R-Truth beat The Primetime Players (w/A.W.) and Primo and Epico (w/Rosa Mendes) in a three-way elimination match to retain the WWE Tag Titles. Primo and Epico were the first eliminated. The Players appeared to win the titles but Kofis foot was on the rope so match was restarted. Kofi and Truth hit double finishers for the win.
Intermission

6. Santino Marella beat William Regal to retain the U.S. Championship.

7. Antonio Cesaro (w/Aksana) beat Alex Riley. Crickets for Cesaro.

8. John Cena beat Big Show in a steel cage match. Cena hit him with the AA after Big Show declined to exit the cage through the door. Afterwards, Cena got on the mic and thanked us for coming and then went on about getting his start in the area with OVW when it was WWE's developmental territory.

Not the usual mix of Let's Go Cena/Cena Sucks chants. This crowd was very pro Cena.

Biggest Pops:
1. Cena (not even close)

2. Ryder

3. Santino Marella

Most Heat
1. Big Show

2. Miz

3. Regal
