The Big Dog lost his temper with the law enforcement officials and proceeded to lay all three of them out, only for Lesnar to appear with his advocate Paul Heyman and launch an attack of his own on the still-handcuffed Reigns.

He was given medical treatment and placed in a neck brace but Lesnar again returned to ringside and launched Reigns off a stretcher as the episode drew to a close.

Kane attacks John Cena

John Cena again made a huge bid to lure out The Undertaker for one last WrestleMania match, going as far as calling him a "coward" and stating he had let down everyone who had believed in him.

The provocation was not enough to bring The Phenom to the ring but instead his "brother" Kane arrived in what may or may not be a message to Cena.

Kane did communicate something to him, however, delivering a brutal choke slam when asked if it was a "no or a yes" to his repeated requests to face Undertaker.
