Paul Heyman arrived to the building and met with Stephanie and HHH saying Brock took their offer to take the night off. He said he needed to go deliver his retort to what Undertaker said earlier and that will be that. Steph and HHH said they didn’t trust him as far as they can throw him, and that’s not far. They said they’d need more security and the locker room.

Backstage, Stephanie yelled at the assembled locker room wrestlers that SummerSlam depends on having the main event in tact and that means Lesnar and Taker need to be apart until then. She said everyone’s livelihood depends on this and she’s not asking, she’s telling them.

Paul Heyman stood in the ring to deliver his response to what Undertaker said earlier. He talked about all the other stars including HHH, Shawn Michaels, Edge, Randy Orton and Ric Flair who couldn’t end Taker’s streak. He said why wouldn’t they continue to remind everyone that Brock was the one to conquer it? He said Lesnar took Taker’s streak so Taker took what mattered most to Brock, his shot at being the champion. Heyman said Taker may sell his soul to the devil, but Brock owns his ass. The gong sounded and the lights went out.

When the lights came back, Undertaker was in the ring standing before Heyman, who backed down, reminding him he’s only an advocate for Lesnar. Brock’s music came on and he rushed to the ring to go at Taker. They traded punches for a bit, until security ran out to try to separate them. They broke free several times to return to their fight.

Eventually, a mass of locker room guys came rushing out to pull them apart. Brock and Taker kept breaking free still to keep fighting and throwing punches at each other. Eventually they held the two apart going into commercial break.

Seth Rollins came out to boast about how whatever challenger has come his way, he’s still managed to hold onto the WWE title. He said it’s not the means that matters, but the end result and he is still champion. John Cena came out to interrupt and talked about Rollins being a conniving, slimy weasel-faced suckup who was a poor excuse for champion. Rollins talked trash about Cena having the US title challenges and said the fans hate him. He told Cena not to talk down to him because he’s not a boy, but the World Heavyweight Champion. Cena eventually asked Rollins if he was ready to man up right now. He took off shirt and so did Rollins, but then Rollins smiled and left the ring. Cena got on the mic and yelled the champ is here as he held up the title belt.

Sasha Banks and Naomi defeated Paige and Becky Lynch via submission. Late in the match, Paige had the PTO on Naomi, but Sasha came in and kicked Paige. Paige threw Sasha out of the ring and then was able to knock Tamina off the apron. Alicia grabbed Paige and slammed her face into the ropes. Alicia made a tag to Sasha who put on the Bank Statement for the win.

They had a backstage interview with Renee Young and Lana. Lana reported that Ziggler didn’t suffer any permanent damage to his windpipe in the recent attack. Summer Rae came into the picture, dressed up to mock Lana. Rusev came in and told Summer she looks beautiful and “angel-like,” eventually kissing her. Rusev said to Lana she seems tired and like she needs rest. He laughed as he walked off. Summer slapped Lana.


John Cena, Randy Orton & Cesaro defeated Rusev, Kevin Owens & Sheamus via pinfall. Summer was ringside for Rusev. At one point, Cesaro shoved Owens and he went into Sheamus. The two argued with Sheamus clotheslining Owens down, going to ringside to get his briefcase and leaving the match. Later, Owens and Rusev got into it. Owens kicked Rusev before going backstage to leave Rusev in a 1-vs-3 match. Towards the end of the match, Lana came to ringside, took her shoes off and then slapped Summer.

JBL called it “The Shield vs. The Suits.”

Paul Heyman and Brock Lensar arrived out to cut a promo about Undertaker and the WM30 streak match. Heyman said it will still be a noble thing that Undertaker had 21 consecutive victories at WrestleMania. He said John Cena, Andre the Giant and Brock Lesnar couldn’t accomplish that on the “grandest stage of them all.” Heyman kept on going with his speech until Lesnar took the mic and told him “enough,” he said he was there to fight and “Let’s do this.” With that, druids came out with a casket for the ringside area. They lined the aisles as Lesnar opened the casket. He saw no Undertaker and asked if it was a joke or funny. The druids went backstage and Lesnar slammed the casket shut.


Lesnar said he’s not there for games tonight. Heyman said it’s typical of Lesnar to call out Undertaker in a slum like Brooklyn and all they get is an empty casket. Suddenly, the casket opened and Taker was inside. Heyman yelled “Oh, my God!” multiple times. Taker got in the ring and the lights came back on. Taker started to throw punches towards Brock then clotheslined him out of the ring over the casket. Lesnar was upset and Heyman begged him to just walk away for now.

They showed Batista backstage for an interview with Renee Young. Batista said the whole "Yes movement" was the dumbest thing he's seen in his life. He said the fans are reading comic books, dreaming they can be a superhero like Daniel Bryan, but it's all fantasy. He said Renee and the WWE Universe might not like it, but it's fact and they all need to deal with it.

They hyped that New Age Outlaws will get a rematch against The Uso Brothers for the WWE Tag Team Championship on WWE Main Event this week.

Santino Marella & Emma defeated Fandango & Summer Rae via submission. Early on, Santino and Emma kept tagging in and out to force Fandango and Summer Rae to have to do the same, causing confusion. Ultimately it came down to Emma hitting her Emma Sandwich move and then putting her submission on for the win. Post-match, the two did each others' dance moves.

Sheamus defeated Christian via pinfall. Christian had control of things for a bit, as the crowd started more CM Punk chants up. Sheamus came back and hit White Noise for a near fall. Sheamus had a fulcrum kick, but Sheamus managed to catch him with a Brogue Kick from the apron to get the pin.

The Bella Twins defeated Alicia Fox & Aksana via pinfall. During the match, Aksana slapped around one of the Bella Twins on the mat. However, in the end Nikki was able to get the win, hitting a backbreaker on Alicia Fox for the pinfall.

Daniel Bryan came out to the arena, as Michael Cole suggested viewers could go on Twitter and post with "#YesMovement." In the ring, Bryan told the fans he loves hearing the Yes fans because the people here in Chicago understand one thing, that you have a voice. He said "We have a voice and tonight we're going to hijack Raw."  Bryan announced he wasn't leaving the ring until one of two things happen - either Batista coming out to fight, or Triple H coming out to accept his challenge. HHH's music hit after several moments and he came out to deny Bryan's request. He, Bryan and Stephanie had some back and forth jabs regarding the ownership of everything that got Bryan all this "Yes Movement" and attention.

HHH told Bryan to get the hell out of his ring, but Bryan said it was the people's ring. HHH argued that they own everything in the arena, including Bryan and the fans. Eventually, Stephanie called for Kane to come out.  As he got to the ringside area, Bryan was ready and hit a suicide dive on him, then multiple punches. Stephanie called security to come out and handle things.  Bryan stared at the security as the fans chanted his name to close the segment.

Dolph Ziggler defeated Alberto Del Rio via pinfall. Guest host Aaron Paul was on commentary and joked that he played the WWE video game as JBL and can't beat anyone. He talked about the new "Need for Speed" movie and how it has no green screen or CGI effects. Del Rio took control after a superkick but couldn't get the 3 count. Paul got up on the announcers table to distract Del Rio, which allowed Ziggler to gain control and hit his finisher.

They announced that Paul Bearer will be inducted into the 2014 WWE Hall of Fame Class.

Big E defeated Jack Swagger via disqualification in a non-title match. As soon as the bell rang, Cesaro rushed into the ring and attacked Big E to cause the DQ. Post-match, Swagger and Cesaro argued. Swagger shoved down Cesaro twice. Cesaro got up and took down Swagger and nearly got the Cesaro Swing, but Coulter got on a mic telling him not to do it. Cesaro released the hold and helped Swagger up. Colter told them to hug it out, because "We're brothers, we're real Americans." Cesaro and Swagger eventually hugged before doing a "We the People" chant.

John Cena arrived out with a heavily bandaged left knee. He thanked the fans for the warm Chicago welcome, then talked about getting injured by the Wyatt Family last week. He said due to dosctor's orders he can't have a match tonight. He talked up the Chicago people being honest, and how he started his career there, standing tall in the ring. He then talked about how the fans want change in the WWE and that it will go through him.

Bray Wyatt came up on the big screen to confront Cena about the empire he built around him. He said Cena's like a champion horse who's been running a long time, with the people cheering him, but one day the horse slows down and reality sets in. He asked Cena when his reality is going to set in, asking how long Cena thinks he can fend off the Wyatts. Bray told Cena "Mercy is calling you by name. I am the reaper and I am going to put you down." Wyatt said he knows what Cena's afraid of, and that the loneliest man is the one sitting atop of his empty castle.

Backstage, Randy Orton approached Batista. He wished him "very best of luck" against Bryan tonight. He said that was it and walked off.

Daniel Bryan defeated Batista due to disqualification.  Orton was ringside to watch the matchup. The final moments of this one saw Triple H, Kane and Stephanie come down to the ringside area. Batista whipped Bryan outside into the steel steps, then picked him up and tossed him into Orton, knocking him over his chair. Once back in the ring, Batista was hit by a kick from Bryan, but Orton got into the ring and hit Bryan to cause a DQ.

Post-match, Orton went for an RKO on Batista, but The Animal shoved him off. Bryan hit a running knee on Orton, then dropkicked Batista, before dropkicking Kane off the apron into Triple H. Bryan prepared for the suicide dive, but was cut off by a Batista spear. Triple H grabbed Bryan by the hair and told him he was tired of his "little fantasy crap." Bryan kicked Triple H, but Batista grabbed him and powerbombed him. Triple H took off his jacket and tie, then hit a Pedigree on Bryan. Stephanie did a mock Yes! chant while HHH's music hit to play out the end of Raw as the heels stood over the fallen Bryan.

As the Raw Backstage Pass post-show was going on the WWE Network, they showed the in-ring action with Bryan down on the mat. Triple H got in the ring with Batista, Kane and Orton to inflict further damage on Bryan. As the Raw post-show panel kept talking about what was going on, Big Show's music hit. They showed him get in the ring to start fighting off Batista and Kane a bit, but soon they overwhelmed him with Orton's help. Cena's music hit and he came rushing out, limping down the ramp fast to the ring to help out in the fight.

This September 21st, 2013 Saturday, get ready to watch live on TV and live online to see all of the action of UFC 165!  It's mixed martial arts at its best, with one of the top fighters in the business getting the spotlight once again - Jon "Bones" Jones!  There will be free preliminary fights live streaming on Facebook and available to watch on TV, before fans can check out the main fight card on pay-per-view.  Below are all the key details for the latest sports event that many WWE stars have even admitted to enjoying.  Some have even been seen in attendance at the live events, including The Undertaker, and CM Punk, not to mention the fact that Brock Lesnar left to pursue a career in UFC, then returned to WWE.

UFC 165 Schedule and Location
The UFC 165 will be held September 21st, 2013 Saturday at the famous Air Canada Centre in Toronto, Canada. Official announcements indicate that the free preliminary fights will get started at 6 p.m. Eastern Standard Time.  In total, fans will be treated to a total of approximately eight free fights on the live stream online Facebook show at 6:15PM EST and the Fox Sports 1 free TV fights at 8PM EST.  Five fights will make up the main fight card of the 10 PM EST pay-per-view which can be ordered on cable and satellite TV or live streaming services such as UFC.TV, Yahoo! and the YouTube video site.

UFC 165 will be the second pay-per-view tournament to ever feature two title defenses, following UFC 152. The event will be divided into different class categories per card. The Main Card will entail the lightweight, heavyweight, middleweight, bantamweight and the light heavyweight. The two Preliminary Cards will have featured eight pairs fighting through the tail end of the night, marking the inception of the main event starred by Jon Jones and Alexander Gustaffson.

UFC 165 Live Online Prelims (6:15PM EST)

Previewing the Main Bout
Based on the stats, Jon "Bones" Jones  (18-1) and Alexander "The Mauler" Gustaffson (15-1) have exactly the same weight of 205 pounds, with the latter being an inch taller.

Nonetheless, both fighters also have similar records, so while Jones may be the champ and the heavy favorite, anything is possible in sports.

Winner: Alberto Del Rio wins due to submission over Jack Swagger to retain the World Heavyweight Championship.


CM Punk vs. The Undertaker

During the match, Punk worked to taunt Taker early on.  At one point, Taker got enraged and began to beat up Punk unmercifully outside the ring, tossing him into the timekeeper's area, and clearing off the commentators table for a move.  The ref warned Taker he'd disqualify him if he kept it up.

Later in the match, Taker was in control and got up on the ropes for Old School, but Punk tossed him off balance.  Moments after that, Punk mocked him by using the move on Taker.  Punk tried it again later, but this time Taker crotched him on the top rope and then punched him out of the ring.  Taker prepared for a running dive out of the ring but Heyman got up on the apron to block it.  Taker grabbed his throat, and the distraction helped Punk jump off the  corner to take down Taker.

At one point, Punk got chokeslammed down and barely escaped the pinfall.  Moments later in the match, Taker hit Snake Eyes, but then Punk came back with a huge heel kick to Taker's jaw for a near fall of his own.  Later still, Taker had Punk outside the ring and tried for the Last Ride.  Punk slipped off, then hit a kick to Taker's head, leaving him laying on the commentators table.  Punk then went to the ring and jumped off the corner for a huge flying elbow.  He hit it, but the table didn't collapse under Taker, and could have hurt both men.

The ref checked on both guys and Punk got back to the ring first.  Taker had to crawl back and at 8 looked in trouble.  He rushed to dive into the ring and beat the count barely.  The ensuing moments saw several big counters, including Punk escaping a chokeslam, Taker escaping the GTS and Taker hitting a Tombstone.  However, Punk kicked out of the pinfall sending the crowd into a frenzy.

The two men finally got to their feet and traded punches.  Taker looked to have a chokeslam ready, but somehow Punk hit the ref inadvertantly and knocked the ref down.  Taker gained control with the ref down and had Punk up for Last Ride.  This time, Heyman jumped on the apron and gave Punk the urn.  Punk smashed it on Taker's head and fell to the mat with him.  The ref came to as Heyman yelled at him, and Punk pinned Taker with his arms crossed.  However, Taker barely kicked out.

Punk stood up and mocked the cutthroat behind Taker, then picked him up for GTS.  Taker elbowed out of it, then had a Tombstone ready.  Punk escaped it and put Taker up for GTS, but Taker countered that one, and locked a Tombstone on him.  He hit the move and took the final pinfall with Punk out for the 3 count.  Taker is now 21-0.


Winner: The Undertaker wins via pinfall over CM Punk.  The undefeated streak is now at 21-0.



Triple H vs. Brock Lesnar
No Holds Barred Match

In this match, there are no countouts and no holds barred. Also, if Brock Lesnar wins, Triple H must retire.  The Hall of Famer Shawn Michaels was introduced first, followed by Brock Lesnar who came out accompanied by Paul Heyman.  As Lesnar jumped up on the ring, fireworks shot off up in the air around the stadium. Triple H got introduced last and came out from a special King of Kings scene on the stage.

In the early part of the match, Triple H had control and was beating up Lesnar inside and outside of the ring.  As things progressed, Lesnar gained control and at one point slammed Triple H on the commentators table to make it collapse.  Lesnar let out a huge roar each time he hit a move.  At another point he hit a German suplex, throwing The Game onto the debris of the commentators table.  Lesnar chased Michaels a bit on the outside, then started beating up HHH more in the ring.  HHH got up to fight a bit but got knocked back down fast.

Triple H fought back from one of the ring corners, but Lesnar hit another German Suplex, throwing HHH across the ring for a near fall.  Paul Heyman kept yelling for HHH to "Stay down, it's over!"  Lesnar kept on beating on HHH to try to put him away, with Brock's lip bloodied up.  Triple H gained some momentum, but Lesnar reverse whipped him to the corner, sending HHH out of the ring to the floor.  Lesnar went out to stalk Michaels but made the mistake of taking his eyes off The Game.  Triple H ran him down and clubbed Lesnar down.  Later still, he hit Lesnar with a steel chair then pushed him back in the ring.  HHH got in and Lesnar slammed him backwards with a bridge pin for a near fall.

Heyman got up on the apron to yell at the ref, with Michaels getting on the opposite side.  Lesnar elbowed Michaels hard off the side of the ring, with HHH seeing it and responding with a huge spinebuster on Lesnar.  Later on, HBK got in the ring and went for Sweet Chin Music but Lesnar grabbed his leg to block.  He hoisted Michaels up and hit the F5 on him.  Triple H quickly kicked Lesnar in the gut then hit the Pedigree, but Lesnar barely kicked out.  The same result happened moments later when Lesnar hit the F5 on HHH.

Later on, Lesnar tossed part of the steel steps into the ring with Triple H and then rammed him hard with them as HHH got up.  Triple H kicked out of another pinfall, but barely.  Lesnar crouched down to taunt HHH in his face, but Triple H slapped him then started to punch away.  Lesnar blocked a move and went for his arm submission hold on The Game.  Triple H managed to fight out of it, with Lesnar trying for it two more times.  Lesnar went to sit on the corner to put more leverage on HHH's arm for more power.  The Game lifted up Lesnar who was wrapped around his torso, then slammed him down.

Lesnar went for a running move at HHH, who moved away causing Brock to hit the ringpost shoulder first.  HHH then hit a low blow on Lesnar and left the ring before slamming Lesnar's arm against the ringpost.  The Game went and grabbed a steel chair and smashed it against Lesnar's arm on the ringpost.  Back in the ring, HHH slammed the chair on Brock's arm on the steel steps.  Moments later, HHH put the Kimora arm hold on lesnar.  Lesnar called for Heyman to help.

Paul got in the ring with the steel chair, but Michaels got in and hit Sweet Chin Music to stop him.  After trying to fight it for several moments, Lesnar stood up and slammed HHH onto the steel steps in the ring.  However, HHH locked the arm hold back on again.  Lesnar again picked him up and slammed him on the steel steps.  Triple H put the Kimora Lock on for a third time with Lesnar again withstanding it and slamming The Game onto the steps.  However, this time HHH DDT'd Lesnar head first into the steps as pointed out by the commentators.  HHH crawled over and grabbed the sledgehammer, then as Lesnar stood up, he clocked him in the forehead with it.  The Game erupted in rage, then got Lesnar up to hit the Pedigree on the steel steps.  With that, HHH took the pinfall on Lesnar for the big win.

Winner: Triple H wins via pinfall over Brock Lesnar.  Triple H does not have to end his career.
