Paul Heyman opens tonight’s RAW broadcast standing in the ring talking about what’s to come Sunday when John Cena rematches Brock Lesnar for the WWE heavyweight title at Night of Champions on PPV. Cena interrupts Heyman’s speech and comes into the ring. He warned Heyman last week he’d be fighting him tonight at RAW if he didn’t bring Lesnar. Heyman at first pretends Lesnar is there, but then says his private plane is delayed and is own his way.
Cena grabs Heyman and says if Lesnar doesn’t show up tonight by halftime he’s going to kick Heyman’s ass. He then personally escorts Heyman backstage in a headlock and locks him in Cena’s dressing room with Khali as guard.

Bray Wyatt vs. Big Show
I have a feeling Big Show is going to have his hands full with Wyatt tonight in Louisiana. Big Show starts off strong having his way with Wyatt. Wyatt starts turning the momentum and lands a big DDT. Big Show catches Wyatt by the throat as he comes off the top rope and slams him. Wyatt’s sidekicks, Luke Harper and Erick Rowan come in to help him, which gets him disqualified. Big Show ends up grabbing both of them for a double choke slam as Wyatt sits in his rocking chair laughing.
Winner: Big Show by disqualification

Winner: Sheamus and Usos

John Cena brings Paul Heyman back to the ring and says either produce Brock Lesnar or he’s about to lose his teeth. Heyman starts saying this is the dark side he’s been telling Cena he needs to bring out. He needs to bring out the beast inside to beat the Beast Incarnate. Heyman trying to get him to turn heel, telling Cena to hit him and let it out. Heyman says Cena’s code of “hustle, loyalty and respect” will prevent him from taking his frustration out on him and will also prevent him from beating Lesnar. The crowd wants it but Cena says he’s not going to do it, he just thought this would get Lesnar to show up. Heyman continues to goad him and Cena finally knocks him out of the ring. And guess who shows up…
Brock Lesnar comes out looking pissed… and wearing the Heavyweight belt. Lesnar circles the ring and gets Heyman out of harm’s way, then removes the belt. Lesnar acts like he’s going to walk out but Cena calls him on and Lesnar accepts. He comes in the ring and gives Cena a German suplex right off the bat, just like at Summer Slam. Cena is left outside the ring, but comes up behind Lesnar and takes him out of the ring and is landing punches from on top. WWE personnel break it up and hold Cena back as Lesnar and Heyman exit. Cena got the best of that one and they’re saying Cena may have broken Lesnar’s nose.
We’ll have to wait until Sunday at Night of Champions for the real rematch.
