Not sure on exact attendance (wasn't announced) but an empty seat couldn't be found in the floor or lower bowl section of the arena and there was only a few sections in the upper bowl that weren't full. Crowd was hot ALL NIGHT!!!!
Match 1. Evan Bourne out to a huge reaction defeats Chavo with Hornswoggle assistance and the shooting star press.
Match 2. Primo defeated Alex Riley. Funny story, I seen Riley walking down the street outside with my fiancee before the show and was like "pretty bad when ya can walk down the street in front of thousands of fans lined up and no one knows you". Guy cut a great promo though, starting out with "none of you even know who I am do you?" lol and has great potential! But neither got any reactions, in fact, lots of ppl got up for snacks during this one. Me and my fiancee cheered on Riley though lol
Match 3. Comedy match, Santino vs Masters. Masters counters Santinos version of the masterlock with his own masterlock maneuver and wins. Afterwards Santino gets the announcer to tell the fans he is ok. Comedy match because Santino did lots of silly stuff throughout.
Match 4. IC Title Match: Swagger vs Miz vs Kofi. Miz cut a promo before the match and got lots of heat! He also walked out halfway with the title as Kofi went on to pin Swagger to retain his title, after which he chased Miz out of the arena.
Short Intermission, maybe 10 minutes tops before which announcer brought two children into the ring to show off some merch and throw some tees out to the crowd. They also got free merch.
Match 5. Womens match: Alicia Fox defeated Rosa. Horrible Match!!!!! Can't stress this enough! And why Rosa came out to Primo's music and played face, even running around the ring clapping peoples hands, is beyond me?
Match 6: Legacy defeats MVP and Mark Henry. Kind of a dissapointing match with lots of stalling type moves. End came when Dibiase hit the dreamstreet on MVP and got the three. Funny moment saw Cody get slammed by Henry and run over and tag Dibiase and him and Dibiase argued, neither wanting to face Henry.
Match 7 (Main Event for the WWE Title): John Cena defeats Randy Orton. Match of the night by far. Went half hour and fans were into this every minute of it. Lots of Cena chants, in fact the arena went wild upon his entrance, with only a few chants of "cena sucks" floating around (two of which came from me and my fiancee, lol). Finish saw Orton shove ref into Cena, Cena checks on ref and turns around only to be RKO'd. Orton pulls ref over but only gets two. Furious Randy argues with the ref only to be FU'd by Cena for the three. Afterwards Legacy runs in and attacks Cena then MVP and Mark Henry run in to make the save, Randy all the while sneaks back to the locker room area and Cody gets out of harms way leaving Ted to be subject to all three face finishing maneuvers. Cody then assists his partner to the backstage area.
Biggest Pops:

Biggest Heat Generators:
Orton

They also said that since HHH had previous engagement and could not attend anyone wanting a refund could do so before the second match but I didn't see many running to the ticket booth for that. No return date announced but they would be nuts not to come back!
