WWE house show results

Providence, R.I.
Report by Tyler N., PWTorch reader

WWE announced the show as the Road to WrestleMania Tour.

(1) U.S. champion Santino beat Jack Swagger (w/Vickie Guerrero) to retain the U.S. Title. Vickie got huge heat. Santino won with a roll-up in a comedy-oriented match.

The Miz cut a short promo about Providence being filled with fat people. R-Truth came out to his old "What's up" entrance and talked about Miz before their match.

(2) R-Truth beat The Miz. They brawled to start the match. After a well-done match filled with Miz's heel tactics, Truth got the win with the Paydirt.

Eve came out to say that she's going to prove that she's not the woman the crowd thinks she is starting tonight. Her tag partner, Tamina, then came to the ring.

(3) Divas champion Beth Phoenix & Natalya beat Tamina & Eve. In the end, Tamina went to tag in Eve after a double-team squash, but Eve left before the tag could be made. Beth then hit the Glam Slam to get a victory for the Divas of Doom.

(4) Chris Jericho beat Kofi Kingston. After a great match, Jericho beat Kofi with an eyepoke and Codebreaker.

(5) Big Show beat World Hvt. champion Daniel Bryan via DQ; Bryan retained the World Title. At the end of a short and boring match, Swagger interfered, causing the DQ. Swagger then tried to stay on the attack, but Show reversed and hit a chokeslam. After the match, Swagger and Bryan were slow to recover to sell for Show. Swagger eventually got up, but the doctors checked on Bryan. Eventually, Bryan ran up the ramp when he was away from ringside.

(6) WWE tag champions Primo & Epico (w/Rosa Mendes) beat Zack Ryder & Mason Ryan to retain the WWE Tag Titles. The champs retained after a double backstabber. Actually second-best match behind Jericho vs. Kingston.

(7) John Cena beat Kane in a Last Man Standing match. Cena won with an Attitude Adjustment through a table. I'll have to get my ears checked because of Cena now.

After WWE announced they will be back in the near future, the main event of C.M. Punk vs. Dolph Ziggler was introduced. Ziggler and Vickie came out first, followed by Punk to some love from the crowd. Punk said that Jericho came late and locked himself in his locker room until he cheated to win over Kofi. He said he left just after, with security in tow. He talked about WrestleMania and how if he doesn't beat Ziggler in tonight's main event, he won't get the chance to face Jericho at Mania. He said he's going to find him and kick his ass after what he said about his father on Raw.

(8) WWE champion C.M. Punk beat Dolph Ziggler (w/Vickie Guerrero) to retain the WWE Title. In the end, Punk won by pinfall in a decent match.

Overall, it was a good show for it not being televised. The top three matches were Jericho vs. Kofi, Punk vs. Ziggler, and the Tag Title match.

Top Pops:

- Cena
- Punk
- Santino

Top Heat:

- Vickie
- Ziggler
- Jericho

How much money do you spend on WWE shows a year? Just curious

NO SARCASM BELOW THIS POINT
 

Was waiting for these with baited breath. My world is complete.

Swaggie is such a random to interfere in Show/Bryan.

"We need a non-finish to this match. Let's have a heel who has no issue or connection with either of the two at the moment and have him interfere"

Would have liked to see that double backstabber finish

Big Show broke Swagger's trophies. He had this coming. Fucking bully :n:

lol

Of course. Swagger has been plotting this for quite some time... picking his spot.... and that spot was PROVIDENCE, RHODE ISLAND.

Logically, you'd expect more wrestlers to execute their fiendish plans at house shows. Dunno why wrestlers only think to attack people on Sundays, Mondays, and Fridays between the hours of 8 and 11 PM.

This should be someone's gimmick, showing highlights of whatever hijinx they pulled at a house show that week like the RAW REBOUND.

Also, it marks the return of the "upcoming tour" segment where Finkel announces the next 2 weeks of dates over the "Superstars of Wrestling" theme... which said person using said gimmick uses as their entrance theme!

HEY that's right. When did they stop announcing upcoming house show dates during shows

or do they still do it and I just tune it out because Michael Cole is an anus

Scott Stanford has his little segments talking about the WWE Live Event Tour.

what when where

Except when the hardcore title is at stake.

I really hope people follow Petes example and we get the results of every single house show posted in a new thread on here from now on.

I think the MSG show today would have been a bigger deal

(3) Divas champion Beth Phoenix & Natalya beat Tamina & Eve. In the end, Tamina went to tag in Eve after a double-team squash, but Eve left before the tag could be made. Beth then hit the Glam Slam to get a victory for the Divas of Doom.

That's interesting. Is Tamina #heel again? Have the Divas of Doom become #faces? Why do a heel VS heel match? Who was the crowd rooting for?

Am i caring too much?

I think it's more that Eve faked a face turn and then left Tamina to get pinned.
