— Prior to Monday’s RAW in a dark match, Curt Hawkins & Vance Archer took on Jason & John (crowd popped during last names after Savannah billed them from Charleston, SC). A big “Charleston” chant broke out at the start of the match. Vance and Curt dominated early. Vance hit am awesome inverted Black Hole Slam for a big pop. The crowd was behind the enhancement guys but they never really got any offense in. Match ends at 6 minutes after a reverse DDT from Archer followed by a HBK like elbow by Hawkins.
— The RAW dark match featured John Cena vs. Batista in a No-DQ match. Sheamus crashed it, and Cena ended up FU’ing the two of them for the win. It seemed like they were testing that spot for something down the line.
