Superstars:
Heath Slater vs Neville: Heath got decent amount of heat, which resulted in fairly loud chant for Neville. Neville won with the red arrow, but Heath had to readjust his position before he jumped. Overall, good opening match.
Ascension vs WWE Tag Champions Prime Time Players:
Chicago, like everywhere, doesn’t like these painted goofs. Not much of a match, Titus had to wait a long time for the hot tag from Darren. Titus proceeded to throw around dudes around. This was followed by a short parade of finishers, pin by Titus on Viktor, I believe.
Other RAW Notes
– Noelle Foley was in the front row with the guy dressed up like a clown.
– Post match: Instead of a dark match, John Cena, talking in a slightly higher pitched voice, did his best to verbally put over Cesaro. He called Cesaro back into the ring, for Cesaro was being helped to the back by the refs. Cena then talked about the various matches he has at All State Arena, from his debut to having a match with a guy who won his title then jumped over the railings. (Light CM Punk chants.) He talked about how when you preform well for this Chicago crowd, they let you know about it. He was got emotional telling Cesaro you deserve their praise for how well you perform each time you get the chance. He said he earned the right to challenge for the US title after their last two matches. Finally, he asked the crowd to give Cesaro one last ovation, and Cesaro did his little air punch pose.
The chants for Cesaro were much louder during this post match promo then during their actual match. And, like I said before, Cena appeared to be pretty emotional during the whole thing. It almost, almost felt like a retirement speech. The crowd was very appreciative of what Cena was trying to do for Cesaro, and they gave him a standing ovation after Cesaro left the ring. Though, Cena did say Chicago was the greatest wrestling city in America. I hope they air this promo on their website at some point.
