Report by Bill Pritchard for Wrestlezone.com
Brock Lesnar and Paul Heyman come out and Heyman talks about how Brock destroyed Roman Reigns, and in his client’s words, he took Reigns to “suplex city, bitch.” Heyman says all was well until Seth Rollins weaseled in and stole the title, and Heyman says he could take legal action, but Brock doesn’t want that. Heyman says Brock wants to invoke his rematch clause tonight, but Stephanie McMahon cuts him off and talks about how great last night was. Stephanie says Rollins is on his way back from the Today show, and she thinks he’ll be up to the challenge whenever he lands. Heyman says this is not a prediction but a promise, and his client with wrestle on RAW, and deliver a beating that allows him to call Brock champion once again.
Intercontinental Championship
Dolph Ziggler vs Daniel Bryan (c)
Bryan and Dolph trade strikes before they fight near the ropes, and Bryan sends Dolph outside but ends up hitting the floor as we go to a break. We get back to see the two try to reverse each other’s backslide pin attempts, then Dolph sends Bryan into the ringpost. Bryan blocks a Zig Zag and shoves him, but Dolph turns and catches him with a superkick for two. They trade punches before they start headbutting each other repeatedly, then Dolph headbutts Bryan into the corner but Bryan rebounds with Knee Plus for the win.
Winner – Daniel Bryan
Bad News Barrett runs in from commentary and hits Bryan from behind, then he sets up for a Bullhammer but Sheamus makes the save! Sheamus rushes the ring and Wade retreats, but Sheamus turns and Brogue Kicks Bryan! Sheamus picks Dolph up and pummels him in the corner, then Dolph fights back but Sheamus drops him with White Noise. Sheamus hits Dolph with a Brogue Kick and mocks the crowd for booing him, then he says “I’m back” and walks out.
BP: Didn’t know when to expect Sheamus on the show, but rumors pointed to a feud with Bryan so this makes sense. It may get even more heated and make the midcard more fun if Barrett and Dolph stay involved. Sheamus was sporting a mohawk and a braided beard, which kinda made him badass.

BP: That was such an awesome segment. Brock tore the place apart; it rivals the Nexus debut, if not better.

Winner – John Cena
Renee Young welcomes Seth Rollins backstage and asks what he thinks about Brock Lesnar’s suspension. Rollins says it’s a good thing because Brock is a bad representative of the company, and he put his hands on the wrong people.

Rollins says the important part is he earned this title, and he is keeping it for a long, long time. Randy Orton walks in and says Rollins still has him to deal with, because he nearly took Rollins’ head off right before he won that title last night. He says he is still owed his title shot that he never got last year, and he wants what he earned and deserves too.

I understand the crowd didn’t like it, but the cameras shouldn’t have acknowledged in by spinning the camera around. Overall, this was a very good post Mania RAW, and there was a lot of action in the first two hours. Neville and the Lucha Dragons shined, and Brock had a great segment. The two title matches were also great to watch.
