What will happen now that Brock Lesnar has returned to the WWE?
We start things out with Big Johnny coming out to new music. He cuts a short promo and then shows a video of last week’s John Cena promo, which was interrupted by Brock Lesnar. Laurinaitis introduces Brock, who comes out to his music. Brock says that he is here to restore legitimacy to the WWE, which immediately prompts John Cena’s music. Cena comes out to the entrance then down to the ring, and gets in the ring. He walks up to Lesnar and slaps him in the face. Lesnar pounces and they have a pull apart brawl with tons of refs and suited officials trying to separate them. Next the lockerroom comes down and tries to separate them as well. Finally things calm and about 20 guys are holding Cena and Brock in opposite corners. Cena has his mouth bloodied up with his usual big grin, then he jumps his security and goes back after Brock. Another brawl and things calm back down again with about 40 people in the ring separating them. Lesnar breaks away from his corner and jumps at Cena and the brawl resumes. Lesnar is restrained on the floor and Cena in the ring. The wrestlers separating them are not scrubs – at least Sheamus, Mark Henry, Kofi Kingston and others are shown. Brock retreats up the ramp.

They go back into the box, say they have to “think outside the box” and then run away making Three Stooges sounds.

Lord Tensai w/Sakamoto vs. Yoshi Tatsu
Some boos on Tensai’s entrance, but not much. Same slow and plodding squash as last week. The crowd does a mocking “Al-Bert” chant during the middle. Finishes Tatsu with the Chokebomb, and the referee stops the match rather than have a pin.

The Three Stooges come out. Actually it’s Moe and Larry. Curly is not there. Then “Real American” plays and Curly comes out dressed like 1980s-era Hulk Hogan complete with fake moustache and do-rag. Curious. Curly cuts a promo about his movie in a Hulk Hogan brother-voice. Crowd is booing. Curly finishes with “Whatcha gonna do…”. Kane’s music plays, he comes to the ring. The other two Stooges escape but the Hogan guy does not. He does a finger-point YOUUUU but Kane chokeslams the Stooge and the segment ends.

David Otunga w/John Laurinaitis vs. John Cena
Cena tells Laurinaitis to “get off his phone” at ringside. Otunga actually gets a decent amount of offense, with Cena selling that he was attacked by Lesnar. Dueling chants for Cena seem about even on both sides. Cena makes his own comeback. Five Knuckle Shuffle. Attitude Adjustment. Then an STF and Otunga taps.
Winner: Cena
After the match Lesnar appears in the ring out of no where and gives Cena a low blow from behind. Crowd is booing. Beats him down a bit, then hits an F5. Crowd chants “one more time”. Brock wags his finger then walks off, to boos. John Laurinaitis looks on from his seat at ringside and claps. Interesting to position Lesnar as such a strong heel.
