WWE Raw brand house show report

Philadelphia, Pa.
Report by CSurge, Torch reader

(1) DX (Shawn Michaels & Triple H) beat Legacy (Cody Rhodes & Ted DiBiase, Jr.) after Triple H pedigreed Cody Rhodes. DX got a huge pop. It was surprising how many people really dislike Rhodes/DiBiase. Interesting bit where Hunter & HBK yanked down Legacy's tights and they ran around for a good minute. Prior to the finishing Pedigree, Hornswoggle came out and gave Rhodes Sweet Shin Music. Legacy turned around and took simultaneous Sweet Chin Music and Pedigree for the win. Long match.

(2) Chris Masters (w/Eve) beat Carlito via submission with the Masterlock.

(3) Yoshi Tatsu beat William Regal. The promo Regal cut was ten times longer than the match.

(4) Mark Henry beat Jack Swagger. Quick ending just as they were picking up the pace.

(5) U.S. champion The Miz beat MVP with the Skull Crushing Finale. Good match. Miz had a HUGE amount of heat -- especially after this line: "Like the Philadelphia Eagles, MVP will never be a champion."

(6) Evan Bourne beat Chavo Guerrero with the Air Bourne. Good Match. Good aerial spots from Bourne. Nothing out of the ordinary, though. Bourne was REALLY selling a rib injury after the match.

(7) The Bellas & Gail Kim beat Maryse & Alicia Fox & Jillian Hall with Santino as special guest referee. A few missed spots here and there. Typical six-divas tag match..

(8) Randy Orton beat Kofi Kingston after double RKOs. Long match. Long rest holds. Huge Pop for Orton -- "RKO" chants. Orton hit the RKO, Kofi kicked out, Orton went for the punt, Kofi moved, and Orton hit the second RKO. Orton wins.

(9) John Cena beat WWE champion Sheamus via DQ; Sheamus retained the WWE Title. Sheamus cut a lengthy promo to start the match, which drew huge "Cena" chants. Everyone loved him, except the guy behind me that was counting the 'five moves of doom.' Cena easily had the biggest pop of the night. Cena hit the Five Knuckle Shuffle and Sheamus kicked out. Sheamus pushed the ref as Cena locked in the STF. Sheamus tapped as the ref called for the bell and a DQ. Crowd bought Cena winning the title and Cena sold that he thought he won the belt. Good match. I'm not a Cena fan, but he's better in person and just crazy over. Merchandise stand was sold out of medium and large Cena tees by the end of the night.
