Raw Off-Air Notes and Superstars Spoilers from The Times Union Center in Albany, NY.
The arena was filled pretty well with the bottom and middle filled and top section 1/2 tarped off.
Five fans wearing Nexus shirts and a sign for Nexus drew lots of heat holding up the sign.
Justin Roberts was in the ring and welcomed us all to the show.
Dark Match:
Abraham Washington came down to the ring. Washington said that he was the Viper. He said he was sorry but Randy Orton already has it. So he is the Marine...wait there's two of them. I'm Awesome! No wait. He said he would knock out the competition. He faced Primo with the referee being Rod Zapata. It was a very quick match, about three minutes, with Washington only getting two moves in. The rest was all Primo. Primo won with a Backstabber.
Raw Off-Air Notes:
After the backstage segments, Jerry Lawler left commentary and went to the back. Josh Matthews hosted the Show Your Signs segment. After Matthews finished with signs he went to commentary.
After Lawler's beatdown, Michael Cole stood in front of the commentary booth looking concerned then went back to his seat. After Lawler was helped to the back, Matthews came back out to do commentary.
After the Shemaus/Orton match a lot of people left and WWE crew changed the ring mat to a new one.
After the Cena/Punk segment a lot of people starting filing out.
Post Raw Dark Match:
Miz & Sheamus, with Alex Riley, vs. Randy Orton & John Cena, with Special Guest Referee: Michael Cole (wearing a referee shirt over his dress shirt).
The heels surrounded Cena, who was still laying on the floor, and Orton ran down to the ring. Orton talked to Cole and pointed at the downed Cena but Cole told him he had to wrestle. The match went about 7 minutes. Josh Matthews still sat at commentary watching, looking bored. Orton & Miz/Sheamus went back & forth for about 4 minutes. Orton went to pin Miz and Cole stopped at 2. Orton yelled at Cole in the corner and Cole ran away from him. Cena got up and his super strength got tagged in and cleaned up. Orton hit the RKO on Sheamus & Cena made Miz submit to the STF for the win. Miz & Riley left with Cole running behind them, followed by Sheamus. Cena & Orton posed together in the ring.
Roberts thanked everyone for coming and wished everyone a safe trip home.
