My WWE Experience

London, O2 Arena, Tuesday 9th November 2011

After going to my first WWE event last year, I have yet to forget that experience. And almost a full year later, I have been able to write about it from what I remember of that night.

Match 1:
Mark Henry vs Zack Ryder

A good entertaining opener with Mark Henry out working the crowd and pumping them up. I think I must of been one of the few who was cheering Zack Ryder on. Henry won with a Worlds Strongest Slam and hyped the crowd once more before leaving.


Winner: Mark Henry via pinfall

Match 2:
Santino Marella and Vladmir Kozlov vs The Usos

Before the match started the Anonymous Raw GM sent a message to ringside announcer, Justin Roberts phone... That's never happened on TV!

Instead of changing the stipulation, they instead made a dance off where Kozlov and Santino went through a break dance routine and the crowd judged them the winner. There was an actual tag match afterwards though. Santino hit the Cobra on one of the Usos (hard to tell which one) for the 1.2.3.


Winner: Santino Marella and Vladmir Kozlov via pinfall


Match 3:
Alex Riley vs Ezekiel Jackson

Zeke worked the match as face before his 'Corre' whilst Riley was still in The Miz's corner as a heel. A decent match between the two despite both being less experienced superstars. But none the less, both put on a performance the crowd was into. The finish was Jackson hitting the Book of Ezekiel for the win.

Winner: Ezekiel Jackson via pinfall

Match 4:
Ted DiBiase Jr. vs Yoshi Tatsu

I actually liked DiBiase in this match as I felt he was able to work the audience as a true heel should. Playing up to the crowd after hitting hard hitting moves, leaving the ring whenever he felt like he was losing advantage in the match, and even shouting a young fan. whilst Yoshi catered more the younger audience as ultimate babyface.

DiBiase cut a heel performance where I even thought he would sneak out a win but Yoshi Tatsu won the match after hitting one of his kicks to head.

Winner: Yoshi Tastu via pinfall

Match 5:
Wade Barrett (with John Cena) vs Randy Orton 
WWE Championship Match with Special Guest Referee: Bret Hart

 John Cena accompanied Wade Barrett to the ring as he was a part of the Nexus after losing his stipulation match at the PPV. Wade cut a promo stating that the 'Winds of change' were coming and then Bret Hart was then announced as a special guest referee. He immediately ejected John Cena from ringside much to the delight of both the fans and Cena, making the match a fair one on one match.

Midway through the match Sheamus ran out for the beatdown on Orton to cause a disqualification finish. John Morrison then ran out for the save prompting Hart to make a tag team on the spot.


Match ended with Morrison hitting the Starship Pain on Sheamus for the win

Winner: Randy Orton and John Morrison via Pinfall.


Match 6:
Eve and Melina vs Maryse and Tamina

A short tag match between the divas which resulted in Eve getting the pinfall on Maryse. Melina and Ev came out to a spectacular entrance complete with a pyro shower.

Winner: Eve and Melina


Match 7:
United States Championship Match
Daniel Bryan vs R-Truth vs William Regal

Interestingly, Bryan worked the match as the heel, sarcastically playing up to the crowd. William Regal, being the hometown favourite played a tweener role but solidly had the fans behind him throughout the match. A good match which resulted in Bryan forcing Regal to tap out to the LeBell Lock.

After the match, Regal cut a promo in which he stated that this would be his final match in London, hinting that he would be retiring from in ring competition.

Winner: Daniel Bryan via submission


Match 8:
John Cena vs The Miz

Before the match, Riley cut a promo running down the audience the arena they were in. he then introduced The Miz to the audience. Miz then carried on saying he will be a future world champion and prove it tonight because 'He is The Miz and he is Awesome!'

A good entertaining match complete with near falls, and Riley getting in cheap shots on Cena whilst the referee was distracted. Cena eventually won the match after hitting the Attitude Adjustment on The Miz and celebrated in ring to close the show and end the night.

Winner: John Cena via pinfall
