The following results are from a recent WWE Monday Night RAW live event. The event took place at Madison Square Garden on December 27th, 2011 in New York City, New York.
Opening Segment
The Miz came out to open the show telling the fans that he would close out 2011 as the new WWE Champion right here tonight. Miz then said that the fans cheer losers in this arena like the Knicks, while they should be chanting for a winner like himself. R-Truth’s music hit and he made his way through the crowd and attacked Miz. Miz escaped and Truth asked for Miz to return to the ring or he won’t leave, which led to John Laurinaitis coming out and telling Truth to leave the ring.
