WWE Raw brand house show results
October 9, 2010
Stockton, Calif.
Report by Lucas Scofield, PWTorch reader
This was my very first wrestling show, so i was very excited to see it. The arena was about 50 percent full. 30 minutes before the show, wooo's were heard throughout the arena and lasted until the show started.
(1) Goldust beat Ted DiBiase. After the match, Goldust kissed a baby on the way out.
(2) FCW champion Mason Ryan beat Zack Ryder. Mason was close to Rob Terry size.
The Bella Twins then came out to find a guest bellringer. They asked who is the current WWE champion. The first kid said Sheamus. The second kid said John Cena. The third kid finally got it right with Randy Orton.
(3) Nexus (Heath Slater & Justin Gabriel w/David Otunga ringside) beat Santino Marella & Kozlov. Before the match, the Raw GM sent announcer Justin Roberts a message saying that before the match, there would have to be a dance contest with the crowd deciding the winner.
(4) Ezekiel Jackson beat William Regal with a torture rack type move.
(5) C.M. Punk beat R-Truth. Punk came out and cut a great promo saying that he is the greatest person ever to live. He also said he was tired of beating everyone on Smackdown, so he's on a mission to beat everyone on Raw.
(6) U.S. champion Daniel Bryan beat John Morrison to retain the U.S. Title. Average match. The crowd seemed bored.

(7) Wade Barrett beat Mark Henry. Nexus ran down during the match. With the referee's attention to turned to them, Barrett removed a turnbuckle pad and threw Henry into the exposed turnbuckle to score the win.
(8) Eve Torres & Melina beat Alicia Fox & Maryse. Huge pop for Melina. Boring match overall, I thought.
(9) WWE champion Randy Orton beat Sheamus in a main event steel cage match to retain the WWE Title. After the match, Nexus rushed the ring and started to attack Orton. All of the faces then ran in and cleared the ring, leaving Orton and Barrett. Orton then hit the RKO on Barrett to end the show.
