Kristy Duncan sent this live report in from Raw on Monday in Knoxville, TN (thanks to Kyle Faust for help):
We were in attendance at the RAW show so I thought I would let you know what happened before or after in case you didnʼt attend or no one reported. Please edit as appropriate!
BEFORE:
Cryme Tyme defeated two jobbers (didnʼt catch there names!). Cryme Tyme got a big pop and they seemed really surprised and spent a lot of time posing and acknowledging fans.
D-Lo Brown defeated another jobber Shannon ? D-Lo got a big pop and did a lot of his head shaking before leaving the ring.
AFTER:
Batista and Cena did a lot of stare downs and then Batista left. Cena talked about how it was nice to be in such a crowd for RAW and something about this was the best attendance for Knoxville in 10 years (they normally hold these at the Civic Coliseum so Thompson Bowling Arena has been remodeled and has much more seating). He also said he was going to do something he couldnʼt do anywhere else and lead the arena in singing Rocky Top. He then left the ring and someone gave him a UT hat and he put it on a smiled. The crowd seemed pretty pro Cena most of the night.
All in all a really good show and the crowd seemed to enjoy!
