WWE Raw TV taping report
September 1, 2014
Des Moines, Iowa
Report by Cody Baker, PWTorch VIP member

- After the cameras went off, the good guys (John Cena, Roman Reigns, and Chris Jericho) walked around the ring and signed autographs. Jericho was obviously supporting Reigns as they posed together and spent the after-show walking around even taking selfies with the kids in the front row.

Live Raw TV Notes

- I would say the arena was pretty much full, and the very very top was covered. I would estimate somewhere between 8,000-10,000, possibly more. I had seats a little behind the camera, which were a lot closer than I expected.

- The crowd was hot to start with. Chris Jericho came out right before Raw went live to lots of "Y2J" chants. Seth Rollins got chants because he is from Davenport, Iowa. Overall, I enjoyed the live crowd chants and seeing wrestlers that I have not seen live yet. (Like Cesaro, Bo Dallas, and the Wyatts.)

- Bo Dallas's segment was funny to the crowd, Bray Wyatt only did the video promo, the Brie & Nikki Bella issue just isn't my thing, the kids absolutely loved John Cena, and the card was pretty weak with a lot of short matches, but I expected that being a holiday show.

- The six-man main event lasted long enough and had a clean finish, which was nice. The biggest pop of the night was when Cena got the hot tag at the end.

- Top Babyface Pops: Cena, Reigns, Jericho, Rollins (hometown).

- Top Heat: Rusev, Triple H and The Authority, Cena with loud "Cena Sucks" chants.

(2) Sin Cara beat Justin Gabriel with his top-rope flip finisher. The kids loved Sin Cara; tons of "Sin Cara" chants from the little ones.
