WWE Raw House Show Results Day 1 (2/9) Abu Dhabi

The following are results from Day #1 of the RAW tour in Abu Dhabi at the Zayed Sport City Tennis Stadium

*Tony Chimel introduced EVPT & IGM of RAW John Laurinaitis.  He was booed out of the arena.  He welcomed fans and saud WWE was honoured to be there and promised a great show while hyping up a double main event

1) Alex Riley d. Drew McIntyre

Riley was over with the crowd as there were a lot of "Riley" chants

2) WWE Tag Team Titles: Primo & Epico d.  Santino Marella & Mason Ryan

Comedy match of the night.  Santino got his heat back post match by nailing Epico with The Cobra

3) Michael McGillicutty d. David Otunga

Otunga came out to a raucous reception and said judging by that, his reputation precedes him then dissed the crowd by telling them they probably don't even know what "raucous" means

4) Kofi Kingston d. Chris Jericho

Jericho got a huge pop and did his "JeriTroll" gimmick.  There were chants of "Y2J" to which he responded by telling the crowd to shut up.  Slow to start, due to Jericho's heel mannerisms,  but second best match of the night.  Post Match, Jericho laid Kingston out and Kingston was then carried out which led to intermission

5) US Title: Jack Swagger d. Miz & R-Truth

Pre-match:  Miz cut a promo using all his catchphrases and lamented over the booing stating it took 16hrs of flight time to arrive there and also promised victory at Elimination Chamber

6) John Cena d. Kane via DQ

Cena received the biggest pop of the night winning via DQ after Kane used a steel chair.  Dueling chants with some "Cena Sucks" chants which were drowned out by the pro-Cena fans.  Post match: Kane chokeslammed  Cena, Chimel made the announcement and Kane returned only to be dropped with an AA.  Cena then grabbed the mic saying he doesn't need a chair to beat Kane and challenged him to a No DQ match the following night.  Kane can use anything he wants and Cena will still beat him

7) CM Punk d. Dolph Ziggler

Punk received second biggest pop of the night behind John Cena.  Ziggler got the crowd riled up with his "Show Off" gimmick   Best match of the show with quality wrestling from both parties.  At one point, the match was ruled a double count out but John Laurinaitis re-started the match and Punk won with a GTS.
