HHH taunted Lesnar as not being a man, saying Heyman can't afford for Lesnar to step into the ring and face him like a man.  HHH suggested that when he defeats Lesnar on Sunday, there goes Heyman's meal ticket.  HHH said he thinks Lesnar must think he's the baddest man standing in the room, but Heyman doesn't.  HHH said he's not talking to Heyman anymore, so he directed his talk to Lesnar.  HHH asked if he's going to keep listening to Heyman telling him what to do, or if he's going to come down to the ring instead of being "Brock Lesnar, the bitch."

Lesnar started down to the ring with Heyman pleading for him to stop.  Four referees stood by advising Lesnar not to go inside the cage door, but he started up the stairs for the ring.  Lesnar put one leg in through the ropes and then went into the ring to stand face to face with HHH.  The two started exchanging strikes, with Lesnar ramming HHH into the corner.  He threw HHH with a backwards suplex, then yelled for Heyman to shut the door.  Paul did so and Lesnar rushed at HHH, but HHH avoided him and tossed Lesnar face first into the cage wall.  From there, HHH grabbed Lesnar and ran him over to throw into the cage door, knocking Heyman and several refs towards the crowd barrier.

Lesnar went over and helped up Heyman to leave the scene while glaring towards HHH as the crowd booed.  Triple H's music played as he climbed up the cage wall and sat on the top of the scaffolding.  Heyman and Lesnar looked towards him from the stage as Raw went off the air.

And finally, several other stories will continue this week, such as Big Show and Rand Orton's feud, and Sheamus and Mark Henry's feud.  Fandango and Great Khali also had a Dance-off, with the dancing superstar attacking Khali from behind and hitting a leg drop on him due to the results.  What sorts of matches will these superstars end up in, and will it lead to matches or stipulations for Extreme Rules PPV?
