Here are RAW house show results from Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada at the MTS Centre.
Probably between 7-8,000 in attendance. This RAW show almost got lost in the shuffle with U2 in town, and the return of the Winnipeg Jets any day now.
"Mouth of the South" Jimmy Hart is our special guest host and he says he has a surprise for us later.
Dolph Ziggler comes out to interrupt and get in Jimmy's face. Primo comes out to defend Jimmy, who then makes this match official
Match 1: Primo def. Dolph Ziggler
I almost spit my beer out when this happened. That is not a misprint. Primo won this match against Ziggler. Dolph must have pissed off someone to get stuck in the opener AND lose to Primo. Not a bad match, a few "Primo" chants threw out the match. I, however, was chanting "Grabowski" throughout the match, as Grabowski's big bald head and purple John Cena shirt stuck out like a sore thumb in the sea of people on the floor.
Match 2: Kelly Kelly & Beth Phoenix def. The Bella Twins
Standard Divas match, although I forgot how good a competitor Beth is. We need to see more of her on TV. Kelly gets the pinfall after a failed switch by the Bellas
Zack Ryder comes out to a mediocore response and demands a better one, since he is the Internet champion. He then challenges anyone in the locker room and out comes............MASON RYAN!!??? I almost spit my beer out again. Ryan played the babyface for this match and was quite over. Alot of "Ryan" chants
Match 3: Mason Ryan def. Zack Ryder
Based on the response Ryan got here as a babyface, if WWE plays their cards right, they could have a big star in Ryan a few years from now.
Match 4: Chris Masters def. Jack Swagger
For the third time tonight I almost spit out my beer. What is this? "Let the jobbers win" night? Masters wins with the Masterlock.
Jimmy Hart's big surprise........A dance contest!
He brings four fans in the ring to dance, the winner gets to go backstage. One guy did a pretty good John Cena impersonation, but the winner was a kid in a Rey Mysterio mask
Match 5: Tag Champs David Otunga & Michael McGillicutty def. Santino Marella & Vladimir Kozlov
Santino easily got the pop of the night, and was easily the most entertaining part of the show. He could have stayed in the ring the whole night for all I cared. Otunga gets the pin on Santino after Santino delivers the cobra, but McGillicutty interferes in the pin attempt and Kozlov was too slow to stop him.
Match 6: Rey Mysterio def. Alberto Del Rio
Usual huge pop for Mysterio, equally intense heat for Del Rio. Del Rio is easily the most entertaining heel on the roster. He spent nearly five minutes trying to get Mysterio to shake his hand. On TV I would have changed channels, but live it was very compelling as he shook hands with the ref, the ring announcer, ringside fans, and got down on his knees, but still Mysterio wouldn't shake his hand. Finally Mysterio dropkicks Del Rio in the face to start the match. Mysterio eventually got the win after a very competitive match.
Main Event: Triple Threat Match for WWE Title- John Cena def. The Miz & R-Truth
CM Punk was a no-show, originally advertised in this match instead of Truth. John Cena got the usual mixed reaction. All the women and children (and Grabowski) cheered him, all the dudes (except Grabowski) booed him and got behind The Miz. Miz and Truth spent most of the match double teaming Cena, even working together to set up the steel ring steps in the entranceway, although it was Truth who got thrown in to them by Cena. Cena wins after about 15 mins. after Miz missed with a steel chair, hitting R-Truth by mistake. Cena then delivers the attitude adjustment for the win. Grabowski then pushes his way through little kids half his size to get to the front row to touch John Cena.
After the match, Cena got the cheapest pop in the history of cheap pops, by mentioning The Winnipeg Jets and there impending return. Cena says we have the best wrestling & hockey fans in the world and next year the Stanley Cup finals will be played here in Winnipeg.
U2 on Sunday and hopefully next week, the return of the NHL to Winnipeg.
