WWE RAW Live Event Results
November 4th, 2009 - Dublin, Ireland
Report by Jamie O'Doherty, F4Wonline.com
Raw's house show in the O2 Arena, Dublin had a good attendence, but
it was not sold out. At the very top of the seating there were two or
three noticable groups of empty chairs. But it's still a good turnout
and WWE brought in many, many, many more fans than TNA did when they
held their show here recently.
1. Jack Swagger won a No. 1 Contender Battle Royal, last eliminating
Mark Henry. Other participants included Randy Orton, Ted DiBiasie, Cody
Rhodes, Kofi Kingston, MVP, Santino Marella, The Miz, Sheamus, Evan
Bourne, Chris Masters & Chavo Guerrero.
2. Hornswoggle defeated Chavo Guerrero with the Tadpole Splash. It
was announced that Vince McMahon ordered Chavo to wrestle on his knees
for the entire match to make it more fair for Hornswoggle. Chavo stood
up whenever the ref was distracted. Hornswoggle was able to suplex
Chavo when he was kneeling.
3. Sheamus defeated Evan Bourne with a Bicycle Kick. Sheamus got a
lot of cheers with some boos during his entrance. He criticised the
fans for not having faith in him when he signed with the WWE and was
going to show why he is on a higher level than everyone else.
4. The Miz defeated MVP with the Skullcrushing Finale to defend the United States title.
5. Melina defeated Alicia Fox with the Primal Scream to defend the
Divas Title. Jillian was the guest ring announcer and tried to sing a
Sinéad O'Conner song for the fans.
6. Mark Henry defeated Chris Masters with the World's Strongest Slam.
7. Randy Orton defeated Kofi Kingston with the RKO.
8. DX defeated Legacy when Triple H pinned Ted DiBiasie with the
Pedigree while Shawn Michaels pinned Cody Rhodes with the Sweet Chin
Music. When Triple H was going through DX's introduction he joked that
there couldn't be millions of people around the world watching because
it was not a televised show. He then teased about WWE possibly taping
Raw in Ireland in the future.
9. John Cena defeated Jack Swagger with the Attitude Adjustment to defend the WWE title.
One more thing about next Saturday's Smackdown house show in Dublin.
The event is happening the same day as a crucial international football
game between Ireland and France in Croke Park nearby. I doubt it will
have a horrible effect on the attendence for Smackdown but should there
be a poor turnout, that will be the reason.
