Opening Credits.
Commentary: Last week we ended the show with Big E stealing the WWE Title Contract before WWE Champion Samoa Joe could put his name on the contract, as such with only 13 days until Wrestlemania, the WWE Title match is held in suspension.........
Will this situation be resolved this week?
Also last week Damien Sandow & Heath Slater made their returns to Raw helping The Miz avoid a beatdown at the hands of The U.S.B............as a result this week they will team with The Miz against The U.S.B.............
And in the Main Event Kane will go one on one with Sting.............
Backstage: In the Parking Lot, Edge awaits the arrival of A J Styles..............
But we start the night off with Lita taking on Velvet Sky
Velvet Sky w/ Angelina Love v Lita
Mid Match: Melina who has had run in's with Velvet Sky runs down to ringside
Winner: Lita via Pinfall.
Backstage Interview: Sting who has been openly mocking The Undertaker for a number of weeks now is asked is he at all concerned that mocking The Undertaker could lead to bad things in his match later tonight against Kane.............
Sting claims that Kane is just a poor version of Abyss, then he claims that he & The Undertaker have patched things up.............and that The Undertaker is here tonight, then he heads out to the arena.................
The arena plunges into darkness, then the gong, the thunder crashes and out through the smoke cones a cloaked figure.................the cheers then gradually turn to boo's as everyone realises that it's just Sting, who walks down the ring, Undertaker style, and then pauses at ringside..................
it then becomes apparent that Sting is standing next to an open casket.............and lying in the casket is..............The Undertaker!!!!!
Sting kneels next to the casket and begins to poke at the body and openly mock.............and then it becomes clear, the body in the casket is nothing but a very realistic mannequin...................once again Sting has taken everyone for a fool.
Backstage: In the Parking Bay, A J Styles has just arrived, arrogantly he strides through the Bay..........and then from out of nowhere Edge jumps on..........creating a massive Parking Bay brawl...............
which ended with Edge locking in a Camel Clutch, which he wouldn't let go of, as A J tapped persistently, eventually WWE Security had to pull Edge off A J, Edge's eyes bulging in wild anger...............
Backstage: Drew McIntyre confers with Doug Williams & Magnus, they have their orders for tonight destroy Slater, Sandow & The Miz, and send a message to the entire locker room, that The U.S.B are in control.............
Coming up next an angered WWE Champion, Samoa Joe takes on Cody Rhodes.............
Samoa Joe v Cody Rhodes
Winner: Cody Rhodes via Pinfall.
Post Match: Samoa Joe was fuming, and then out strolls Big E, holding the stolen contract in his hand............and he enters the ring..............
Samoa Joe approaches, but Big E warns him to cool down, he has some news.................handing Joe the contract, he tells Joe he can now sign the contract to make his match at Wrestlemania official................it then becomes apparent that Big E has already signed the contract, inserting himself into the match....................Big E then leaves, and Samoa Joe gets even more irate...............as a result he turns and strikes Cody Rhodes, who was at ringside signing autographs, with the WWE Title, he then collects a Steel Chair, but then Goldust rushes down to aid his brother, and Samoa Joe leaves through the crowd................
Backstage Interview: Last week Ryback won a Number 1 Contenders match for the United States Title, and after the huge rivalry between them how does United States Champion Jack Swagger feel about another match with him?
But just then Ryback cuts into the interview, he questions whether this time Jack Swagger can avoid being counted out and fight like a man?
Swagger replies that that is why he's the Champion, because Ryback has to beat him, and so far with the title on the line, he's been unable to, which is why he has no doubt that he will still be the champion after this match too.
Promo: Epico & Primo call out Suicide after he cost them their Tag Title match last week, accompanied by Paul Heyman, Suicide comes down.............Epico reveals that at Wrestlemania either he or Primo will take Suicide's X-Division Title..........but right now he wants to show Suicide an example of what awaits him at Wrestlemania.................and so an impromptu match is under way..............
Epico w/ Primo v Suicide w/ Paul Heyman
Mid Match: Sin Cara who clearly was after payback for what happened to him last week, rushed the ring and laid out both competitors..................but this caused Primo to jump into the ring and attack Sin Cara from behind...............and then it got more chaotic as Rey Mysterio came down the ring, but Primo met him halfway...........then the two of them battled all the way to the top of the ramp, where Mysterio whipped him off the stage.............but he was not finished there, he then dove off the stage on top of Primo................and then Kaval came out.............looked at the chaotic scene, shook his head and then left again................and in 13 days time, these 6 men will do battle for the X-Division Title.
No Contest.
Backstage: The Miz speaks with Slater & Sandow, their 6 mam match up with the U.S.B is coming up, and now is the time for them to show why they are WWE Superstars, it's time to step out of the shadow of The Nexus, Tensai.............it's time to create their own path to glory..................
Promo: Nikki Bella strides down to the ring, she invited Katie Lea for a confrontation last week, but she chose to stay away, and Nikki will take it no more, she will Katie and she will take her down..........just then though Angelina Love strolls down to the ring and confronts Nikki...........
Angelina mocks Nikki, pointing out that she has been with WWE for FIVE years, and has zero Championships............and that when TNA possess WWE at Wrestlemania.......her looks won't be able to preserve her career.............then suddenly she slaps Nikki round the face knocking her to the ground...............she then gloats over Nikki, but she gloats for too long as a now irate Nikki takes Angelina down and a massive catfigt proceeds, eventually broken up by the referees.
Backstage Interview: Standing by is Abyss, who at this years Wrestlemania will take on Kane in what will be the rubber match between them, but will that end this huge rivalry between them.
Abyss claims it will be the end of the rivalry, because it will be the end of Kane!
and then returning the favor from last week, Kane ambushed Abyss laying him out with a massive chokeslam through some luggage cases.
then turning back to Charley, Kane apologises for interrupting her interview, but a message had to be conveyed...............he will be facing Sting shortly and had to remove the threat of outside interefernce.............but when Abyss wakes up, could Charley let him know that their match at Wrestlemania will be an INFERNO Match.
The Miz, Damien Sandow & Heath Slater v U.S.B (Doug Williams, Magnus & Wade Barrett
Winners: The U.S.B via Submission by Wade Barrett on Damien Sandow.
Backstage: Heyman & Samoa Joe storm into Stephanie McMahon's office with the contract for Wrestlemania in hand, they are irate that Big E has forced his way into the WWE Title match at Wrestlemania, and unless he is removed, then Samoa Joe will not be competing at Wrestlemania...................but Stephanie stands her ground she says that since Goldust & Big E's signatures are on the WWE Title match contract, that will be the match that happens, which would mean stripping Samoa Joe of the WWE Title...............which legally WWE can do since the WWE Title is WWE Property and Samoa Joe is not contracted to WWE..............as a result begrudgingly Samoa Joe agrees to the Triple Threat match, signs the contract, but as they leave, Heyman re-iterates that WWE have 13 days left of existence...........
And now it's time for the Main Event of the evening, and it's noticeable that the casket containing the mannequin of Undertaker is back at ringside.........
Kane v Sting
Winner: Kane via Pinfall.
Post Match: After exploding the turnbuckles, Kane exits the ring, but as he walks past the open casket, he slams the lid shut............and then continues to the back.
a number of seconds later, a subdued Sting clambers out of the ring...................he then pauses beside the casket, where noticeably the lid is open................then suddenly the lights go out and a figure rises from the coasket, grabs hold of Sting by the throat, climbs out and chokeslams him into the casket...........and slams the lid shut..................
then a number of druids appear on the rampway, smoke begins to rise, the lights switch back on.............and standing beside the casket........................
The Undertaker is back!!!!!!
