- Mark Henry may be returning as a babyface. As seen on the Extreme Rules post-show, Henry left the trainers room and said he was going home. There has been some talk for months about turning Henry face.
As noted yesterday, Rey Mysterio was trending on Twitter on Sunday night after singer Miguel accidentally gave a flying legdrop to a female fan at the Billboard Music Awards.
Miguel later mentioned that he met up with the fan, writing on Twitter, "Got caught up in the moment, thank goodness Khyati is okay."
Miguel then later deleted the tweet and TMZ.com picked up the story - along with quote from Hulk Hogan. Hogan wrote, "MIGUELAMANIA at least he did it right brother... All MIGUELAMANIA fans are now supposed to be following @HulkHogan brother HH"
Michael McGillicutty made his return to RAW tonight as the newest client of Paul Heyman. Heyman called it a moment that we will look back on in 10 years. His new ring name is Curtis Axel, which pays homage to Larry "The Ax" Hennig and Curt Hennig.
- Rey Mysterio has been visiting Dr. James Andrews in Florida today and says he's looking to return to the ring in late August. Mysterio tweeted today:
"Great news today with Doc Andrews! Revisit on the 19th of June for a minor procedure and still trying to b back in the ring by late August!"
Tonight the shocking conclusion to Cena vs Ryback. Who endured in the cage last night? Find out in minutes as RAW starts at the top of the hour!
Ambulance Segment
An ambulance is coming into the arena, lights and sirens blaring! Ryback climbs out the back with a new black leather vest that says Ryback Rules on the front in red. He has mic in hand, though they run to still from last night. Now hes on top of the ambulance. He says last night the official decision for his match with Cena was No Decision. While Cena walked away with the WWE Title, he didnt walk away, he was carried away. Cut to video of Cena on the stretcher, neck brace on his neck, but got up and refused to go.
Ryback says last night Cena refused to get in an ambulance, but next time he wont. Im not on this ambulance to look cool, because I dont care what you think anymore. Im here to propose an Ambulance Match at Payback. In an Ambulance Match it doesnt matter if you can still stand, if your heart is still beating. All that matters is throw the other man in the back of the ambulance, and that man will be Cena. Cena will be taken to a medical facility, where all of you are eventually going. In actuality, most of you will skip the medical facility and head straight for the morgue. Look around at yourselves, pathetic, weak, weak, weak, weak people of society. I have nothing in common with any of you. (Boo) You have no idea what it feels like waking up wanting to be the damn best. You dont start the day with goals or direction. (Boo) Youre all lost souls of society. Yet you worship Cena. (Pop) You wanna be like Cena. (Pop) Cena is your hero. (Pop) Absolutely pathetic! (Pop) None of you have anything in common with Cena. None of you know what its like to bust your ass everyday. You know nothing about nutrition, education, hard work. You have no idea what it takes. I tell you what. At WWE Payback, I take Cena to the medical facility, to the morgue. I take all of you to the morgue with Cena. (Serious heat) Theres only one fact of life and that is, Ryback Rules!

In Ring Segment
Heyman out to a mixed reaction, and all smiles. To the ring as Cole talks about how he will announce his newest client tonight. Heyman says, I get it, I understand. When its a Heyman guy who exposes one of your heroes, Im the one who catches your wrath, gets your boos. So, go ahead, get it out of your system. Boo me all you want. (King does) Tell me, what does it feel like to be powerless. Your boos will never change the historical fact that last night a true Heyman guy, the Beast Incarnate, Brock Lesnar, defeated Triple H in a Steel Cage Match at Extreme Rules. History wont record boo/cheer/we hate you Heyman, history will record the fact that Brock emerged victorious, and like I warned you on RAW, Trip will go down in history against my client as a loser. Tonight, while I stand before you, my client is enjoying the spoils of war, and Trip goes home to Mommy. I takes a desperate man to bring a sledge hammer into the ring with Brock. Now that Brock has fulfilled his obligations to WWE, the question remains, whats Heyman going to talk about now?
Its time for something new, different, give to the WWE Universe, from my generosity that moment in time that you set your DVRs and you play back ten years from now. The YouTube clip you look back on and say, thats the moment history took a left turn (I hope thats true). Because youre all here tonight to witness history. Ladies and gentlemen, nows the time to hit record, because I, Paul Heyman, stand before you this evening and I give to you, the newest Paul Heyman Guy!
Out comes Joe Hennig to his fathers (Curt Hennig) music (Perfection). Heyman is clapping in the ring. Joe, on the bottom of the ramp smiles and yells, I have arrived! Into the ring, they shake, then hug! (Serious heat) Theyve proved me right again. Its the very same reaction I warned my client he was going to face. Its the very same reaction you gave in 2002 when I introduced you to the NCAA Division 1 Heavyweight Champion, the man that took care of Triple H last night, Brock Lesnar. (more heat) The very same reaction they gave me in 2006 when in the new ECW, I presented to them the man who would reign for 434 days, as the reigning, defending WWE Champion, CM Punk. I understand how everybody here feels. This man has such legacy, such heritage, such, check out the word, pedigree going for him. Alice In Wonderland upside-down, everything is up, everything is down mentality in the WWE, why isnt this man a Superstar already?
On man in the stands yells, Because he sucks!
Its all because in the WWE a legacy isnt something that gives you nepotistic possibilities, its an albatross. Sinks you to the bottom of the talent pool. My client doesnt hide the fact that he has a bloodline that makes him a 3rd generation Superstar! But this man wants to carve out his own niche, make his own legend in the WWE. Which is why we have taken his father, Mr. Perfects given name Curt, and we have paid homage to his grandfather the legendary Larry The Ax Hennig, and we have bestowed upon this man a new name, a new brand that will forever be known around the WWE Universe as Curtis Axel.
The fans hate this.
I guess you werent paying attention, Ill try this again, ladies and gentlemen, Curtis Axel!
Bigger heat from the fans.
Perhaps you could appreciate

Cole says hes shocked Trip is there after what Brock did to Trip last night. JBL says hes shocked Trip is standing. That was one of the most brutal matches Ive seen my 20 years here. Trip comes to the ring wearing jeans, leather jacket, Trip t-shirt.
Trip says wow, you can really whip up a batch of Kool Aid, cantcha?
Listen!
Trip turns to Axel and tells him the adults are having a conversation over here junior. Heyman you can put whatever spin you want on last night, but dont come out and say Im embarrassed, that I ran with my tail tucked. Im not embarrassed about a damn thing last night. I went to war with Bradley Lesnar! Your damn right, he beat men, just like I beat him at WrestleMania. Brock beat me last night, but he didnt just walk away, he limped away from that battle. But, I was sitting in back listening to you run your garbage chute and it donned on me. You know what would make me happy? Solely, because I can, come out here and beat the ever-living crap out of you.
Hey, says Axel stepping up in Trips face. I dont think you understand, the game around here has changed. You wanna talk to him, how about you talk to me first? Axel right in Trips face.
Trip bitch slaps Axel to the mat.
You know what? I just changed my mind. First, Im going to have a match tonight, with you (Axel). And when I get done kicking your ass, Im going to kick yours (Heyman).
Trip leaves the ring, and as he walks up the ramp Axel is to his feet, and bows up to no one standing there. Heyman in Axels ears as he fumes.

"Embarrassing! I lost to @TheSinCaraWWE?! Goin to the bar. Not to drink but beat the crap outta any SOB that looks like that piece of garbage... Love Eddie. Sin Cara blows. Go away... For the record, Sin Cara is a big, pudgy pile of horse crap. If he has something to say, Im not hard to find. Ill knock his punk ass out!"
YouTube Pre-Show: The Miz vs. Cody Rhodes So this has like 10 minutes? That's a good sign. They keep saying that these two are going to set the tone for the pay-per-view, despite this being a non-feud with no stipulation. Nothing really happens.
WINNER: The Miz.
Looks like we're starting off with Jericho and Fandango.
Chris Jericho vs. Fandango Nice set for Fandango, the typical strings hanging down from the stage. They still haven't said if this match is going to have a gimmick or not, but I doubt it. Curious as to why they're starting with this match. I expected it to be the US title match to start off with a bang. We'll see if the card ramps up or goes down after this. Well, actually, this match hasn't started yet, so we'll see if it does start off with a bang anyway. No gimmick. Fandango either stole his pants from John Morrison or Ricky Ortiz if he weren't so fat. Decent match so far. Fandango looks like a legitimate opponent. Lionsault doesn't do it. I see an "Ask Him!" sign...but that person is clearly promoting Jericho rather than my website. Jericho hits the Codebreaker and wins.
WINNER: Chris Jericho via pinfall.
United States Championship: Kofi Kingston (c) vs. Dean Ambrose Kofi is going to lose this. Rollins and Reigns aren't following Ambrose to the ring. That's odd. Ambrose puts the Crossface Chicken Wing on Kofi Kingston. Wow, I haven't seen that in a while. Kofi is wrestling a match where he's kind of calling things but making it look like he's putting Ambrose over, it seems. He's clearly the star of the match more than Kingston is, which isn't surprising. Kofi hits the SOS but only gets a two-count. A bit of underselling when Kofi hits his knees to the face of Ambrose who kind of just stands there and acts like it only grazed him. Kofi hits the Trouble in Paradise but Ambrose falls out of the ring. Kingston brings him into the ring and gets a two-count. The match should end any minute now with Ambrose getting the victory. There we go. Kofi misses another Trouble in Paradise and hits the ropes. Ambrose hits a forward DDT and picks up the victory.
WINNER: Dean Ambrose via pinfall.
Here's another commercial for the WWE app, because they really want people to not watch the show itself and instead, watch the app.
Strap Match: Sheamus vs. Mark Henry They have little green and red lights on the corners now to indicate whether or not the person has actually hit the turnbuckle. That's a good addition. The problem with this is that each time someone hits a corner, they have to start all over mostly with one move, so strap matches are a bit frustrating with that. There's a spot where Sheamus pulls the strap up under Henry's crotch as a low blow. Sheamus hits three and Henry simply picks him up and slams him down to interrupt it.
WINNER: Sheamus via...touching the 4 posts.
Backstage, AJ Lee is talking on the phone supposedly to Ziggler. Kaitlyn comes up to gloat about how they have a title match (that's stupid). They address the secret admirer issue.Stupid segment that ends in a typical "brawl" where they pull hair and try to punch each other but look like idiots. Pointless.
#1 Contendership [I Quit Match]: Alberto Del Rio vs. Jack Swagger Zeb cuts a promo on the way to the ring about wiretapping phones and different scandals. Meanwhile, Swagger stands there like a good boy and just jumps up and down. Literally all he says is "we the people". Lilian Garcia speaks some Spanish to introduce Ricardo, who is going to introduce Del Rio (who is he going to introduce?). Now that Del Rio's introduction is over with, the match will go down hill, am I right? Best part. A Singapore cane comes into play early on. There's a gash on Swagger's shoulder. "We want Ziggler" chant starts. Swagger hits the Swagger Bomb and the gutwrench power bomb, but Del Rio still doesn't quit. Obviously, this match has to end with either the cross armbreaker or the ankle lock. Del Rio puts the armbreaker on him but Swagger reverses into the Patriot Lock. Ricardo suggests throwing in the towel but Del Rio tells him not to. Zeb Colter comes over, grabs the towel and tosses it in the ring instead and Mike Chioda says that Jack Swagger wins the match!
WINNER: Jack Swagger via a towel.
Nevermind. A new referee comes out to say that Rodriguez wasn't the one to throw the towel in. Chioda looks at an instant replay of it and says that the match will continue if Del Rio can do it. Not too long afterward, of course, Del Rio is able to make Jack Swagger quit.
WINNER (and new #1 contender for the World Heavyweight Championship): Alberto Del Rio
Tornado Tag Team Championship Match: Team Hell No (c) vs. The Shield New tag champs. Wait, I'm getting ahead of myself. Tornado matches are good because they can just have everyone interrupt pinfalls and such. "You try to break my arm, I'll break your face!" - Roman Reigns to Daniel Bryan. Kane catches a kick to the head from Rollins and a spear from Reigns but Daniel Bryan interrupts the count. Now they're targeting Bryan. Reigns has him up in a torture rack and Rollins hits his top rope kick to Bryan's head.
WINNERS (and new tag team champions): The Shield via pinfall.
Advertisement for the post-show. Wade Barrett changed his shirt as beforehand, he was just wearing one of his t-shirts and now he has a dress shirt on.
Extreme Rules Match: Randy Orton vs. Big Show Why do they call this an Extreme Rules match? They all are. GOD that annoys me. This should be a lackluster match by both the placement on the card, the gimmick itself, and the fact that these two would be limited to work a style that won't exactly be the most entertaining in the long run. A ladder is brought into play. JBL feels the need to move his hat away from the desk. Most of this match seems to be Orton clotheslining Big Show. Zzz. Big Show sets up a Vader Bomb spot with the ladder on top of two chairs and Orton moves out of the way. Orton hits his rope-DDT from the top rope on Big Show. Nice job. I personally think this match is boring but the home crowd loves Orton. He sets up an RKO and lands it. Big Show kicks out. Orton hits another RKO while on the chair (as if that makes any sense whatsoever, but in WWE rules, it somehow hurts more). Orton sets up the punt and lands it. WINNER: Randy Orton via pinfall...via punt.
WWE Championship [Last Man Standing Match]: John Cena (c) vs. Ryback Triple H vs Brock Lesnar is last. I guess that's so they don't have to end the pay-per-view with boos for John Cena. Here comes a long match of doing one move and then waiting 9 seconds before you do it again. Ryback hits a nice power bomb though. Ryback hits his cutter variation which I'm sure won't win the match and John Cena will get up at the count of 8 or 9. Ryback tosses Cena into the table. This match is laborious. Ryback has to oversell Cena's moves and he's not doing it in a believable way for someone that big. Cena then tries to put in some kind of a submission move but it just looks like he's giving Ryback a hug. Ryback throws him down very simply and of course, John Cena's about half dead.Cena hits an Attitude Adjustment on Ryback by throwing him through a table.Ryback gets up at 9. Cena climbs to the top rope and Ryback stops him, then picks him up for the Shell Shock. Cena gets up...of course. There goes the "busted through the barricade" spot with both of the guys down. I'm sure they'll both get up too. Ryback picks up part of a barricade in the production area and hits Cena in the head with it. Cena will get up, don't worry kids. Cena puts Ryback on a table and climbs up into the audience to do a shitty elbow drop. Ryback will get up. Fire extinguisher spot on Ryback. As Michael Cole says, Cena is "trying to cool down the beast"...LMFAO. Retarded. He's doing tiny bursts as well. This is just dumb. Typical "hold it with my hand and hit you with my hand" spot twice. This is just ridiculous and I'm sure there are people backstage that think it's a classic. Ryback tackles Cena through the lighted curtain on the stage and they do the normal stupid sparks. Referee Charles Robinson panics and runs around while Dace's cable goes out. Thank you, Comcast. When the feed comes back, Cena is surrounded by the referees and the whole picture is pixelated. I have no idea what's going on. They have the audacity to say that this is worse than some of the things Mick Foley's been through...absolutely ridiculous.
WINNER: Draw.
Steel Cage Match: Triple H vs. Brock Lesnar Triple H jumps the gun and attacks Brock Lesnar before he enters the cage. There's a storyline aspect that they're throwing out there that Lesnar tweaked his knee somehow despite being able to pick Triple H up and give him a running power slam. Lesnar hits an F5 but Triple H kicks out. The door is wide open but Lesnar isn't walking out. Instead, Paul Heyman closes the door after handing a chair to Lesnar. Triple H puts Lesnar in a Figure Four. "Break the freakin' hold! Have some compassion!" says Paul Heyman, aka The Man. Lesnar tries to climb the cage. Triple H hits his leg with the steel chair instead. HHH climbs up and pulls out a sledgehammer at the top of the cage that he supposedly hid beforehand...even though this is a no disqualification match and he could have just brought it in with him. Triple H puts Lesnar in the Sharpshooter and even though Brock looks like he's tapping, he apparently isn't, which is kind of ridiculous but a botch on Lesnar's behalf. Heyman gets into the cage and suffers a pedigree for his efforts. Lesnar goes to hit HHH with the sledgehammer but gets a pedigree of his own. Lesnar kicks out. Lesnar nails HHH with the sledgehammer. He follows it up with an F5 and gets the victory. WINNER: Brock Lesnar via pinfall.

- A fan on Twitter asked former WCW and WWE star Bill Goldberg if he could spear anyone in WWE, who would it be? Goldberg replied and said Triple H:
"Hunter.....hands down.....RT"
The fan replied with the following tweet and Goldberg said his observation was "spot on":
"any particular reason or just the overall doucheness and politicking he exhibits?"
Another fan asked Goldberg when he would be coming back to WWE. He replied, "When they learn how to run a business."
Finally, a fan asked Goldberg if he would come back to WWE and feud with Ryback. The former World Heavyweight Champion replied, ".....if they knew how to do business I'd consider it....."
- As noted earlier, Dolph Ziggler's brother Briley Pierce was one of the developmental talents released by WWE this week. The World Heavyweight Champion commented on Twitter:
"Countless WWE peeps personally told me how hard (Briley) worked and how he was the most entertaining guy in NXT. #WeirdBiz"
Vince McMahon noted that he is concerned about injuries at this weekend's Extreme Rules PPV.
"Because of the risk of injury, I will be crossing my fingers until #ExtremeRules is over on Sunday," McMahon tweeted Friday afternoon.
This follows a recent "severe concussion" to Dolph Ziggler during a ladder spot at the television taping two weeks ago. Ziggler would have been positioned to take bumps in a ladder match at the Extreme Rules, but has since then been pulled from the match due to his concussion.
