WWE Raw Pics 4/25/11; Meeting The Miz!

I decided a week or so ago that I wanted to go out to Raleigh for Monday Night Raw at the RBC Center before going to Smackdown! in Greensboro on Tuesday. I know Greensboro well having lived closed to there for a long time, and so another trip to see WWE action was on!

But before all that, I went on wwe.com to see that The Miz was signing autographs at an auto mall in Smithfield, NC near Raleigh. So instead of leaving in the afternoon for Raw, I left in the morning to meet The Miz and get an autograph from him. This also allowed me to sight-see a little bit at museums in Raleigh before the Raw show.

My impression of meeting the WWE Champion was like the rest of the stars and divas I've met in the WWE: Very good. He signed my WrestleMania XXVII hat and took note of my WM shirt that I had on. He asked me how it was, and I told him using his own line "Awesome!". He then said, "That's because I won the main event!" That's when the following pic was snapped. I shook his hand and thanked him for the time. He flew all the way(14 hours according to him) to Raleigh from Qatar on Easter Sunday. Then had media day early Monday morning, this autograph session, and the Raw show that night. That told me a lot about him, and he was cool to me and other fans there. All the WWE stars and divas I've met are cool. You can follow him on Twitter @mikethemiz.

Anyway, here are some pics from meeting The Miz and also from the Monday Night Raw show in Raleigh

This is a pic of me meeting WWE Champion The Miz in Smithfield, North Carolina on Monday morning. He signed autographs at an auto mall to the first 300 fans that showed up.

Raw performers are in the ring ready to take on Smackdown! performers in a 20-man battle royal to determine the first pick in the 2011 Draft.

Cena comes out after being announced as Smackdown's first pick in the 2011 Draft. Of course, he was sent back to Raw at the end of the night.

Cena is interviewed after being picked by Smackdown! only for the WWE Champion The Miz to interrupt him.

R-Truth is on stage addressing the capacity crowd in Raleigh. He had by far the funniest and most entertaining segment of the night. If you haven't seen it, check YouTube to see the segment. He went with the flow from the crowd, and we were seriously into the segment. Too funny!

Mysterio introduced as the first draft pick for Raw!

It's Kofi vs Sheamus for a draft pick!

Orton comes out after being the latest pick to Smackdown!

Michael Cole and Jack Swagger are on their way to the ring!

CM Punk interrupts the draft picks for Smackdown! to address his opponent Randy Orton at Extreme Rules

John Cena in the ring after Raw is off the air. He takes a shot at The Miz for saying "NC Wolfpack" in his promo before the main event. Cena says that Raleigh is home of the NC State Wolfpack. He leads a chant and that ended the show.

I've got a ton of pics left to put up from my trip to Atlanta earlier this month and for the following night's WWE Smackdown! event in Greensboro. Thanks for viewing!
