Author's Saving Throw: After an Epic Fail the part of WWE. On the June 20, 2011, episode of Raw, which was a "Power to the People" episode, fans got to choose who Bourne's opponent would be by clicking on or texting A for Jack Swagger, B for Mason Ryan or C for Sin Cara. Most people thought Bourne's opponent would be Sin Cara, or at the very least Jack Swagger, since the two were in the middle of a feud. However, the world was shocked that Ryan received 51% of the vote to Sin Cara's 30% and Swagger's 19%. While it wasn't a Curb Stomp Battle, Ryan won the match emphatically. The next day, however, it was revealed that there was a hitch in the voting system. For the previous match, which was to determine who would face (and ultimately defeat) Brie Bella for the WWE Divas Championship, 11% chose Eve (A), 53% chose Kelly Kelly (B) and 36% chose Beth Phoenix (C). Between the Diva's match and Bourne's match, WWE.com did not reset voting on its Chat Poll. Had they done so, Sin Cara would have received 90% of the overall vote and faced Bourne that night. In response to their mistake, WWE has booked Evan Bourne vs. Sin Cara for the June 27, 2011, episode of Raw.
Ensemble Darkhorse: His indie roots and natural skill make him a smark favorite though WWE rarely books him as really stong.
HSQ: The height Bourne gets on some of his aerial moves - especially his Shooting Star Press - has to be seen to be believed.
