Both Vickie Guerrero and WWE Champion CM Punk are both putting over a new stage set-up that WWE is going to be using for the RAW house shows, starting tonight at a live event from Philadelphia, PA.

Guerrero posted the following on Twitter today: “Flying to Pittsburgh!!! I can’t wait to see the new stage setup tonight. See all of you there”

CM Punk also posted a tweet along with a sneak-peak photo of the stage, which is somewhat abstructed due to the dark background and two stage spotlights. “A horrible sneak peek picture of the new house show…er…LIVE EVENT set. Looks much better in person,” the WWE Champion wrote.

Notes From Madison Square Garden WWE House Show

As noted previously, WWE held a house show at Madison Square Garden from New York City last night. Below are a few notes from the show:

– Mick Foley worked the show as the host and ended up getting into an altercation with Jack Swagger. Foley then booked him into a match against the in-ring return of Jerry “The King” Lawler, which the RAW color commentator ended up winning after Foley got involved in the match by using Mr. Socko.

– John Cena and Kane competed in a match last night. Like their previous bouts at live events and dark matches, the match ended in a disqualification after Kane ended the short match by hitting Cena with a steel chair. Kane left the ring but came back only to get caught up in an Attitude Adjustment finisher by Cena.

– FCW World Champion Leo Kruger was in attendance last night and lost to Alex Riley. Kruger caught a heel promo before the match. The match didn’t seem to get over with the crowd with many people describing it as being “flat” and “dull.”

WWE House Show Results (12/10): Charleston, South Carolina

I went to the show tonight in Charleston, SC. Most of the lower bowl and floor seats were sold out with a few fans sitting in the upper bowl. Here are the results.



1) Air Boom defeated Otunga and McGillicutty for the WWE Tag Team Championships (Evan Bourne pinned McGillicutty with the shooting star press).



2) Justin Gabriel defeated Heath Slater (Gabriel hit Slater with a sun set flip which turned into what looked like a power bomb to pin Slater).



3) Alex Riley defeated Dolph Ziggler via DQ for the US Title due to interference from Jack Swagger.



-After the interference from Swagger, Mason Ryan came out to help Riley. While Ziggler and Swagger were walking away, Riley challenged them to a tag team match.



4) Alex Riley and Mason Ryan defeated Dolph Ziggler and Jack Swagger (Ryan hit his finisher on Swagger and then pinned Swagger).



5) Randy Orton defeated Wade Barrett in a street fight (This match did leave the ring for a little while but Orton hit the RKO to win the match).



6) Beth Phoenix defeated Eve Torres (after hitting her with the Glam Slam).



7) Cody Rhodes defeated Ted DiBiase for the Intercontinental Title (Rhodes hit DiBiase with the Crossrhodes to win).



8) CM Punk defeated both Alberto Del Rio and John Cena for the WWE Title (Punk hit the GTS on Del Rio while Ricardo Rodriguez was distracting John Cena outside of the ring).



-After the match, Del Rio rolled out of the ring and went to the back while he left Rodriguez in the ring to fend for himself. Punk and Cena then each hit their finisher on Rodriguez to end the show.



As a Zack Ryder fan, I was a little disappointed he wasn't there tonight because I actually drove down from Columbia, SC to try and see him again (I saw him at the RAW in Columbia on Nov. 28). There were some chants for him tonight and given that he is so popular right now I was surprised he wasn't there.



Biggest Pops: John Cena, CM Punk, Randy Orton



Biggest Heat: Alberto Del Rio, Dolph Ziggler, Cody Rhodes

WWE House Show Results From Augusta, GA (12/3) - Booker Vs. Rhodes, Henry Vs. Orton

Thanks to WrestlingINC.com reader Chris Cushman for sending in these results and videos from WWE's house show in Augusta, GA on 12/3:

Ring Announcer Tony Chimmel comes out and introduces General Manager Teddy Long. Long welcomes everyone to the show and announces the card for the night.

1) Ted Dibiase defeated Jinder Mahal. Solid opener with the crowd really behind Dibiase. Lots of Teddy and USA chants throughout. Dibiase hit the dream street for the win. After the match, Cody Rhodes attacked Dibiase.

2) Tyson Kidd defeated Damien Sandow. Sandow is from FCW and was formerly known as Idol Stevens during his last run. It took a little bit for the crowd to get into this one, but Sandow did a pretty good job getting heat (especially with the pin tights he was wearing). I think people were a little confused that Kidd was the face.

3) Justin Gabriel defeated Heath Slater. Again, it took a little bit for the crowd to get into this one, but Gabriel won them over with some impressive moves, including a variation of the 450 splash from the apron for the win. Again, Cody Rhodes attacked after the match. This time he jumped Gabriel as he was signing a fans poster. After the attack, Rhodes cut a promo saying he could do this all night. For some reason, Hornswoggle came out, got in the ring, and got knocked down by Rhodes.

4) Daniel Bryan defeated Hunico. A really good back and forth match that saw Bryan lock on the Lebell Lock for the submission.

5) Booker T defeated IC Champion Cody Rhodes by DQ in a title match. Booker looked really good in the ring and really didn't seem to miss a step. Booker missed the scissors kick a couple times before landing the Book End. This led to Rhodes rolling out of the ring and grabbing his belt. As Booker approached Rhodes, he popped him with the belt. After the match, Booker and Rhodes continued the fight, with Booker getting the upper hand and finally hitting the scissors kick. He then called out Hornswoggle who came out and hit the tadpole splash on Rhodes. Hornswoggle and Booker T then did the spin-a-roonie much to the crowd's delight.

Kaitlyn is out next as the special host for the night. She announces a dance contest with the winner getting to go backstage. The contestants were a guy, 2 girls(one dressed in military uniform), and a kid. The guy got the biggest support, but since it was so close, Kaitlyn said they all won and got to go backstage.

Intermission

6) AJ and Alicia Fox defeated Natalya and Rosa Mendes. Pretty good match. I can see AJ having a Mickie James type career if given the right chance (or push). Finish saw fox pin Mendes following an impressive flip into a leg drop.

7) Sheamus defeated Wade Barrett in a street fight. The main weapons used in this street fight were chairs and a Kendo stick. Finish saw Sheamus escape the Wasteland and hit the Brogue kick for the win.

8) World Champ Mark Henry defeated Randy Orton in a cage match for the title. Orton got by far the biggest pop of the night. Finish saw Orton hit the RKO on Henry, and it appeared that he was on his way out of the cage when Wade Barrett ran in to prevent it. Henry then walked right out as Barrett continued his assault. Henry then rejoined the fight and the two worked over Orton until Sheamus made the save. Orton and Sheamus cleared the ring and posed for the crowd to send everyone home happy.

Really good show tonight. It was my son's first WWE event and he had a blast. We got to the arena early to try to meet some of the wrestlers. Hunico came over and signed autographs and posed for pictures for everyone. Hornswoggle blew everyone off(same as he did the last time I saw him), which really disappointed the kids, my son included.

Biggest Pops:
1) Randy Orton
2) Sheamus
3) Booker T

Most Heat:
1) Mark Henry
2) Cody Rhodes
3) Wade Barrett
