Kane suplexes John Cena onto a metal barricade during their no-disqualification match on Raw

John Cena and Kane let battle commence in a no-disqualification match in the penultimate episode of WWE Raw before WrestleMania.

Cena took on the Big Red Machine in a match under "anything goes" rules as part of his plan to lure The Undertaker out for a match at the biggest event of the year, in New Orleans on April 8.

The action was a fierce as one might expect, with Cena taking a nasty-looking suplex onto the guard rail and putting Kane through a table to ultimately clinch the victory.

After the match, he again called out The Undertaker and even performed his trademark 'cut throat' gesture to the camera in an attempt to further taunt the Phenom.
