* Christian defeated Mark Henry. After the match, Christian requested to Teddy Long that he be added to the World Heavyweight Title match tonight between Randy Orton and Sheamus. Teddy made Christian the special referee.
* Alicia Fox and Tamina beat Kaitlyn and AJ Lee in a rematch.
* Cody Rhodes came out and talked about wanting to hurt Daniel Bryan.
* Jinder Mahal squashed Yoshi Tatsu. The Great Khali attacked Tatsu after the match.
* Another WWE Capitol Punishment promo with Obama.
* Ezekiel Jackson beats WWE IC Champion Wade Barrett by count out so he doesn’t win the belt. Jackson fights Heath Slater and Justin Gabriel after the match while Barrett walked off.
* Segment with Sheamus and Christian. Sheamus is playing nice. Christian isn’t falling for it and tells Sheamus he needs to focus on Randy Orton.
* Daniel Bryan beat Ted DiBiase with the LaBell Lock. Cody Rhodes came out with paper bags and teamed with DiBiase to beat Bryan down after the match. Sin Cara came out and cleared the ring for the save. Cara’s entrance was botched as they hit the special effects and his music too early.
* Randy Orton beat Sheamus with the World Title on the line and Christian as special referee. Sheamus knocked Christian down early. At one point Sheamus had Orton pinned but Christian went to selling his arm from Sheamus hitting him. Orton hits a nice RKO on Sheamus for the win. After the match, Christian lays out Orton with the World Title belt to end the show.

more details about what happened
Nearly a quarter of the arena was blacked out with tarps. When Raw was here last time, it was practically sold out.
Dark Match- Johnny Curtis Pinned McGuilicutty to cricket sounds
NXT-Dead as usual, especially for the promos, which felt like they took forever. The only time the crowd really reacted was during the Tag Team Turmoil match for JTG coming out and some kids were screaming for Kozlov throughout. Also of note, one of the announcers headsets malfunctioned during one of the matches. The night had a lot of technical problems.
Superstars-Mostly dead crowd for both matches. I heard a lot of people wondering out loud who the guy following Tyson Kidd was (it was Matt Striker, who was talking on his cell phone the whole time). Again, the crowd popped when Striker mentioned Bret Hart, then booed when he told Kidd he's "better than Bret".
Smackdown-Crowd was really hot for Christian, even his promos and especially after he beat Henry and asked if they'd like to see him wrestle Orton for the belt that night.
Jinder Mahel and Yoshi Tatsu was pretty dead, expect lots of canned heat for the SyFy airing.
The divas match was pretty dead after a decent pop for Natalya's music. Lots of "whats?" and confused looks when Tamina got the pinfall.
The IC title match was pretty hot at the beginning and toward the end, quite a few "bullshit" chants when Zeke got the countout win.
The Cody Rhodes promo was very good, but having a guy with a lisp stretch out the word "Losssser" a lot in a speech probably isn't the best idea. Rhodes went to the back after the promo and then came back out during the Bryan/DiBiase match. Lots of people cheering both of the former Legacy guys, but Sin Cara got a HUGE pop (not sure if it would have been bigger if his smoke entrance wouldn't have fucked up halfway through the DB match, because a LOT of people stood up when it looked like he was coming out).
The crowd was really hot for the WHC title match. And contrary to a lot of speculation, the crowd popped HUGE when Christian hit Orton with the belt after the match. Christian left the building holding the WHC belt over his head, smiling and the crowd was chanting "Christian, Christian". I really didn't see it as a heel turn, but I'm sure if Vince doesn't like what he heard he'll have it changed. A fan ran around the ring and up the ramp during this segment.
The advertised Dark Match was supposed to be Christian vs Orton for the belt, but after Orton laid on the mat for 5 minutes and finally got up, Mark Henry immediately hit the ring. The referee was Armstrong. After 5 minutes, Henry started getting harassed by members of the crowd, being called a "fa**ot" repeatedly, a "you can't wrestle" chant broke out, and one very vocal (and VERY DRUNK) guy yelled "Don't make me come in there and beat the black off of you". Henry started getting visibly pissed, and got a mic. Well, the mic died before he could say anything. Then Henry got a second mic, and before he could finish saying "you better hope this mic works" that mic died. Finally a third mic was given to Henry and that one, too, was broken. He continued arguing with the section of the crowd that would have been behind the announcer's desk while Armstrong started laughing hysterically. After 15 minutes of waiting for Henry's opponent, some one yelled "you should wrestle him!" to the ref, and he started flexing his muscles (jokingly) and trying to relax both Henry and the crowd. Chimel made an announcement that "while we're waiting for Mark Henry's opponent" he would like to thank the crowd and they'd be back soon blah blah blah. After 25 minutes Henry started walking around the ring, giving hi fives and talking to some people then posed at the top of the ramp and left. The crowd was pretty pissed half of them waited a half hour for a match that didn't happen.
A few signs got taken away (not sure why) and overall a pretty good show. It'll be interesting to see if they try to change the crowd reactions to what Christian did in the main event.
