I attended the Monday Night Raw show in Charlotte, NC at the Time Warner Cable Arena. The building was at least 85%-90% full. The crowd was hot all night.
Superstars TV tapings matches:
1. Primo (who is now a heel with new ring entrance music, some kind of rap song saying “Primo” over and over) defeated Yoshi Tatsu.
2. Jimmy and Jey Uso, with Tamina, defeated the tag team of Mark Henry and Goldust.
Raw Notes:
The NXT guys had a lot of heat. Wade Barrett is good on the microphone. David Otunga is good on the mike too, but the other five guys not so much.
The crowd was shocked too see R Truth lose his US belt, especially in his hometown!!!
The Guest host Mark Feuerstein was over with the crowd. His backstage segment with The Bellas and DiBiase had the crowd laughing out loud. His match was entertaining also. The crowd popped when he did the worm.
The crowd went nuts when the NXT guys fought with Super Cena and friends. It was really cool to see Edge, Sheamus and Randy Orton help Cena too. The crowd busted out laughing when the camera showed the WWE Superstars chasing the NXT guys away. When we saw Mark Henry running in and the in the next shot he simply vanished off screen after he got lapped by everyone we laughed.
When Gail Kim came out she received no kind of reaction at all, just dead silence.
At the end when the NXT guys “kidnapped” and beat up Bret Hart all of the Superstars remained on stage just watching the whole thing unfold on the Titan Tron. It was funny to see all this stuff was going on backstage and none of them ran back there to stop it.
Dark Match:
John Cena defeated Sheamus.
