Shawn Michaels attempted to gain a psychological advantage over The Undertaker ahead of their Crown Jewel collision

Shawn Michaels launched a sneak attack on The Undertaker on Raw - but the Dead Man had the last laugh.

Ahead of the tag-team collision with D-Generation X at Crown Jewel on Friday night, the Brothers of Destruction were at Raw to issue a message to Michaels and Triple H, promising them once more that they will rest in peace.

But before the Phenom could utter the final syllable of his vow, DX's music hit and Triple H emerged on the stage, trademark glowsticks and water bottle in hand.

The distraction was enough to allow Michaels, sporting his newly-acquired trademark black headband, to get the jump on Taker and drop him with a Sweet Chin Music.

At that point, it looked like advantage DX. But then, the Undertaker sat up, eyes wide open.

Such a promise cut little ice with Strowman, who gave Brock a taster of what to expect on Friday with a trio of powerslams on general manager Corbin.

But Lesnar laughed last, nailing the Monster Among Men with an F5 to stand tall - with the title.

Seth Rollins was looking for answers from Dean Ambrose for his post-match attack after the pair won the tag-team titles on last week's Raw.

But he came away still searching for the solution to the actions of his Shield partner, who was in the arena and had a microphone in hand but offered nothing in response.
