Reader Lewis sent the following off-air report from last night’s Raw in London, England:
I attended last night’s Raw in London and I had a fantastic time! I was in the 2nd row at ringside.
The arena was pretty much completely full and the atmosphere was amazing. The set looked absolutely fantastic and everything was very well organized.
To start things off they showed a WrestleMania XXIV video package – and then Lilian Garcia made her entrance.
The first match was a dark match between Hardcore Holly and a Jobber. Holly got the win after the Alabama Slam.
It was then time for the Heat tapings…
* Melina & Jillian def. Maria & Ashley – after Melina hit her leg split finisher on Maria
* DH Smith def. Super Crazy
* Cody Rhodes def. Charlie Haas; and
* Snitsky def. Val Venis – after the Pump Handle Slam
JR & King then made their entrance and Raw got underway!!!!
The crowd was pretty much into every match and was really pleased they got to see a title change. Some kids were disappointed that Cena was not in attendance, but I think the night was enjoyed by everyone overall.
After Raw went off the air, Triple H posed and greeted fans for at least 10 minutes.
The biggest cheers of the night went to…
1. Triple H
2. William Regal
3. Shawn Michaels; and
4. Mickie James
While the biggest heat of the night went to…
1. JBL
2. Randy Orton
3. Chris Jericho; and
4. Santino Marella
