1/1 WWE Raw HOLT Report: Crowd reaction for Reigns, match results that didn’t air last night, Strowman, Tozawa, more

WWE MONDAY NIGHT RAW HOLT REPORT
JANUARY 1, 2018
MIAMI, FLA.
REPORT BY ENRIQUE RODRIGUES AND HARRISON

MAIN EVENT TAPING

(1) Dana Brooke beat Mickie James.

(2) Akira Tozawa beat Tony Nese. The crowd was really into Tozawa.

DARK MATCH POST-SMACKDOWN

(1) Braun Strowman fought Kane to a three minute apparent no contest ending when Braun slammed Kane through a table.

OTHER NOTES

-Goldust got a nice pop.

-Braun Strowman got the biggest pop, but there were a lot of wrestlers who got good reactions. The crowd was unglued for Reigns during the commercials when he was out there.

-Roman Reigns received mostly cheers by a 70/30 margin. The crowd was most alive during actual wrestling for the Reigns vs. Samoa Joe match. Lots of emotion all over the arena.

-The attendance was 90-95 percent full with only a small portion of the upper deck taped off and the rest of the seats almost entirely full.
