WWE Raw report for Asheville: Edge and Sheamus lose to Cena and Bourne

By Ricky Lanning, a reader of PWTorch.com:

I generally head to Greenville, S.C. for WWE events, so it was nice to head to a house show close to home. The Civic Center was about half-full with a lot of empty seats the entire night. I’m thinking it will probably be some time before WWE heads back to Asheville.

U.S. champion R-Truth beat John Morrison and The Miz in a three-way match to retain the U.S. Title. Nice opening match to get the crowd going. R-Truth and John Morrison both got a good reaction with The Miz getting the most heat of the night. I was hoping for a Miz promo, but R-Truth wouldn’t let him have the microphone. The Miz sat outside of the ring for most of the match, only going in to break up the count when necessary. R-Truth eventually pinned The Miz for the victory.

…

WWE champion John Cena & Evan Bourne beat Edge & Sheamus. With it being no secret that Edge is now a hometown boy, he got a good-to-mixed reaction from the crowd. This was the longest match of the night and the roof about came off during Cena’s introduction. Bourne is definitely getting a good rub being paired up with Cena. Cena & Bourne went on to win with Bourne hitting the Air Bourne on Edge after the Attitude Adjustment from Cena.

Also of note was Chris Jericho not making his scheduled CD signing appearance at FYE and he didn’t make the event either. He apologized through his Twitter page, though, saying he would make it up to us next time.
