So last Wednesday me and my brother went to see the WWE Raw DX Invasion Tour show at the O2 Arena. The show was a non televised event AKA a house show. We arrived at the O2 just before 5pm and had to wait for an hour and half for the doors to open at 6.30pm. Once they were in we made our way to our seats. We were sat in block 102 - lower tier (level 1) and the seats were fantastic, we could see the ring and everything perfectly.
The show kicked off with Justin Roberts and an opening pyro which then led to a 12 man battle royal which I believe Chris Jericho won if I remember correctly.
We then had an ECW match with Hurricane Helms and someone else I'd never heard of as I don't watch ECW. Anyway the match wasn't that great and Hurricane lost.
The United States Championship was then on the line as The Miz defended against MVP. The match was a solid match but it was The Miz who took the victory thus retaining the US Championship.
Next was a divas tag team match as Melina and Gail Kim took on Jillian Hall and Alicia Fox. The match was pretty good with the divas doing more moves then you see them do on TV. Melina hit her finisher on Jillian to win the match.
Chavo Guerrero wrestled Evan Bourne next. The match had a lot of high flying moves in it and was very impressive. Bourne hit the Shooting Star Press (which looks so much more impressive live then it does on TV) to pick up the win.
It was then time for the interval which lasted about 15 minutes or so. After the interval the Honey Monster came out (yes you read correctly) the Honey Monster (The tour was brought to us by the Honey Monster... apparently).
Next match of the night was Randy Orton VS Kofi Kingston which was very impressive. Orton did his classic Legend Killer pose a few times and dominated most of the match. Kofi did get some offence and pulled out some very impressive moves but Orton hit the RKO and picked up the 3 count and the victory.
Are you ready?
We certainly were as D-Generation X (Triple H and Shawn Michaels) made their way to the ring to the crowd going nuts and doing the X sign with their glow sticks. Triple H and Shawn threw some glow sticks out to the crowd. A couple of people threw them back at them. Legacy (Ted Dibiase and Cody Rhodes) the made their entrance and the match was under way. The match swung back and forth with both teams having control. Triple H held Ted up in the suplex position for a good 30 seconds before slamming him down to the mat. Also during the match Cody done the DX crotch chop at Triple H which made everyone laugh and cheer. Triple H hit the Pedigree at the same time Shawn hit the Sweet Chin music. It was DX who won after both of them pinned Legacy.
It was now time for the main event and it was for the WWE Championship as John Cena defended against Chris Jericho. Jericho came out first and took to the mic insulting the fans as he does to get some heat. The fans proceeded to pelt the ring with the DX glow sticks. They came flying at Jericho from all angles. John Cena's music hit and the O2 erupted as the WWE Champion made his way to the ring. (This can be watched on my youtube channel please check it out and comment, rate and subscribe). The match itself was fantastic with control swinging back and forth, both wrestlers kicking out of each others finishers and breaking each others submission holds until John Cena hit the FU (or Attitude Adjustment as its now called) to win the match.
John Cena then took to the mic for a bit, said some things, thanked everyone for coming to see them and the show ended.
