Monday Night Raw Results 3/31: For the final time before Wrestlemania 30, The Undertaker woke up to send a message to his foe, Brock Lesnar. The WWE Universe are concerned about The Deadman's capability to compete as his vigor is already declining. Although he promised the WWE Universe that he will defeat The Beast Incarnate, one thing that is sure in this match is he won't be able to do that so easily.
When the two came face to face, Lesnar's actions made The Demon of Death Valley look like a mere mortal; aside from interrupting The Undertaker, Lesnar also made waste of The Deadman as he stormed the ring and laid out the former WWE Champion with an F-5 that would have made the Devil himself flinch.
WWE World Heavyweight Champion Randy Orton vs. Batista went to a No Contest
The WWE Universe will have to wait who is superior between The Viper and The Animal no thanks to the interference of third party. With The Authority observing at ringside and Triple H scouting his two potential opponents into brutalizing each other, Orton and Batista clashed in a No-DQ environment like it truly was the main event of WrestleMania.
Despite Orton discovering his inner Viper via a Kendo stick and Batista countering with his Animal side, the WWE Universe rained jeers on all involved and roared chants of "DAN-IEL-BRY-AN!" at the two Superstars.
Orton was preparing for the RKO when Bryan hopped the barricade and battered The Game into a stupor, throwing a Running Knee to Batista and a kick to Orton's head along the way as he sent all three of his prospective WrestleMania opponents running for cover. That is one hell of a statement heading into The Show of Shows.
Alberto Del Rio def. Intercontinental Champion Big E
Despite not having a title shot against the Intercontinental Champ last week, Alberto Del Rio might be getting one soon after beating Champion Big E with a solid kick straight to the head.
Summer Rae def. Natalya
If there's anyone right now who doesn't want to get slapped again in a while, it would be Natalya. Unfortunately for The Queen of Harts, while the slap spurred her into action, it also threw her off her game plan and Summer was able to capitalize with a kick to the head to claim the win.
The Authority bid farewell to the 'Yes!' Movement
The Authority, in their benevolence, gave the WWE Universe some time and opportunity to bid farewell to Daniel Bryan's "Yes!" Movement, though they stopped short of giving the fans face time with The Beard, having sent him to New Orleans early for some rest in advance of WrestleMania. What they did give was a eulogy of sorts, displaying The Game's dominance against the WWE Universe's chosen heroes before The King of Kings vowed to fulfill his destiny as COO and WWE World Heavyweight Champion.
And then Batista showed up. The Animal was already in deep water with The Authority after last week, and Randy Orton soon made his own way to the ring to better get a glimpse at the follow-up. The COO seemed unimpressed with his Champion of Champions at the moment, however, and in a final act of motivation, made Orton's Raw match with Batista No Disqualification.
WWE Tag Team Champions The Usos & Los Matadores def. The Real Americans, Ryback & Curtis Axel
As announced, the WWE Tag Team Title will be a free for all and the competitors would be The Usos, The Real Americans, Los Matadores & Rybaxel. Tonight, The Usos & Matadores teamed up to face Rybaxel and Zeb Colter's foot soldiers.
An all-out brawl ensued that ended with Fernando trapped in Swagger's Patriot Lock, though Diego came through when things looked bleakest by riding an Uso interference to pull the ol' switcheroo on Swagger and roll him up for the win.
Cody Rhodes & Goldust def. Fandango & Damien Sandow
Sandow's woes continues as this time, Cody Rhodes & Goldust defeats him along with Fandango. He focused on his former partner Cody Rhodes and did well in giving him a beating. But when Goldust was able to tag in and sent "San-dango" home empty-handed with a Final Cut to the former Mr. Money in the Bank.
Bray Wyatt def. R-Truth
Like their previous encounter, the former U.S. Champion gave out a fight but Wyatt was ready for him, splashing Truth into the corner and bidding him goodnight with Sister Abigail.
Bray's display of brutality continued when he fed Xavier Woods to a Luke Harper clothesline, though his post-match celebration was stopped by the appearance of a masked individual appearing to be a new acolyte of the Family. The stranger removed his mask to reveal it was, of course, John Cena, whose presence drove the Family into a frenzy and sent them scurrying for retreat. Now that's pulling the wool over your enemies' eyes.
Naomi def. Divas Champion AJ Lee in a Lumberjill Match
Confined to the ring itself, AJ acquitted herself well against her most persistent opponent, though not well enough to stop the Divas from ganging up on her when she rolled to the outside for respite. Tamina attempted to cut off the attack and was similarly attacked, though AJ felt the ultimate consequence when the Lumberjills hauled her into the ring and straight into Naomi's Rear View.
Kane def. Roman Reigns via Disqualification
Roman Reigns was chosen by the WWE Universe through the WWE App to fight Kane. However, the match did not exactly materialize as it ended as a disqualification decision. It became an all out brawl against The Shield, Kane, and The Outlaws.
'Rowdy' Roddy Piper hosted a WrestleMania 30 edition of Piper's Pit
Twenty-nine years ago, Roddy Piper main-evented the very first WrestleMania. And now, as the 30th Show of Shows approaches, "Hot Rod's" special anniversary edition of "Piper's Pit" got a little ... well, rowdy. Seeking to interview the odds-on favorite for The Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal brought out self-professed winners The Miz, Sheamus, Titus O'Neil and Dolph Ziggler (sporting an Andre shirt, natch).
Piper, seeing things were headed towards a melee, got things started by poking Miz in the eyes and utter chaos ensued when the locker room emptied into the ring. Rey Mysterio briefly seemed like he'd shine in the impromptu brawl, though it was Big Show who left a lasting impression by using The Master of the 619 as a human projectile against his fellow Battle Royal participants.
