Monday’s “Power to the Peopleâ€￾ edition of Raw gave the WWE Universe the ability to choose what they wanted to see on their television screens. Unfortunately, technical difficulties created by an influx of heavy voting traffic resulted in not every one of the more-than 697,000 recorded votes to be properly counted.

As a part of this interactive event, WWE fans were given the option to text A, B or C to 46993 (GOWWE) in order to decide what they wanted to happen during Raw. Things went perfectly at first when text votes selected Kelly Kelly (option B) to take on Brie Bella for the Divas Championship. However, our vote tabulating provider’s system became overwhelmed, resulting in these votes to spill into later polls. This technical mishap soon led to Mason Ryan (also option B) being voted into a match against Evan Bourne — even though, as it was later discovered, Sin Cara had received 90 percent of the total votes in WWE.com's Live Chat poll, and should have been Bourne's opponent.

Stand by for more details to be reported by WWE.com throughout the day.

They've had a LOT of faulty equipment, cameras, microphones, etc. recently... this should be the icing on the cake for Vince to start cutting contracts and making new hires.

aside from the tech errors, it was a pretty good RAW! not great but passable.

OH I WAS SO PISSED WHEN THIS HAPPENED.

LMAO at it being tech difficulties though. Cara and Swagger's reaction was very comical though. Anyway, I guess it's cleaning time, even though that has little to do with this incident.

I don't think it was only the Mason Ryan option. I was pretty sure Vickie should have been banned by ringside and it definitely wasn't going to be Michael Cole in the dance off.
