Triple H vs. Brock Lesnar contract signing.  The show's final segment featured the contract signing with HHH and Brock.  Lesnar and Heyman decided a stipulation before Triple H signed off on the match.  Heyman came to the ring with 3 security guards for his own safety, without Brock.  Heyman showed HHH that he had a contract with Brock's signature already on it.  Heyman said only after HHH signs it will he tell him the stipulation.  Heyman had footage shown from 3 weeks ago when Lesnar tried to go after Vince McMahon but Triple H came to the ring for the save.  The footage turned black and white so as to not show the blood.

Heyman told Triple H that Brock told Heyman he could pick the stipulation.  Heyman said why not make the stipulation that the winner gets HHH's wife Stephanie, but then Heyman suggested the loser should get her.  Triple H lost it then and went after Heyman, taking him down to the mat.  The security guards pounced on him immediately, but The Game soon cleared two of them out of the ring.  The third guy stood there and stared down at Heyman, looked at HHH and then got out of the ring.

With Heyman all alone, Triple H grabbed him and smashed him face first onto the table, cutting open Heyman's forehead.  HHH then slammed him on the table and ripped Heyman's shirt open to slap him around a bit.  Heyman said since he knows Lesnar won't come out until he signs, he's going to fully enjoy the moment.  He took out the contract and pressed it on Heyman's chest, then signed it.  He finished off by shoving Heyman out of the ring and throwing a chair out on him with the contract.

Lesnar's music hit and he came out to the stage irate, smashing a steel chair down.  Brock started down towards the ring, but then Triple H produced a sledgehammer and dared Brock to get in the ring.  Brock tossed the chair at him which HHH batted down.  Heyman told Brock "We won, signed his death wish."

Heyman and Lesnar went to the top of the stage, with Heyman getting on the mic saying it will be no countdown, no DQ, no stoppage of the match for any reason, because it will be No Holds Barred.  Heyman added one further stipulation: Triple H's career is on the line in the match.  Lesnar held onto the contract and smirked at HHH in the ring as Heyman  chimed in "Game Over."
