What's going to happen on the final RAW SUPERSHOW before the big BACKLASH pay-per-view?
LOCATION: Richmond, Virginia
The night kicked off with MY TIME IS NOW and John Cena in the ring. Cena began talking about how he's concerned that his tag team partner The Miz needs to get his priorities in order, cue I CAME TO PLAY by Downstait and out comes The Miz. Miz says he knows it seems crazy that he's in the finals of the WWE Tag Team Title Tournament and yet he still wants to advance in the US Title Tournament, but Cena needs to realize that The Miz has it in the bag. The two men continue to exchange words until BREAK THE WALLS played and Chris Jericho came out, Jericho said neither one of them are at his level. And that's why Jericho will win the WWE Title at BACKLASH, Cena and Jericho begin to brawl. Which brings out General Manager Theodore Long who announces Jericho will face Cena in a Lumberjack Match tonight.

As Hunter tried to continue HERE COMES THE PAIN played and out came Lesnar, Brock then got into the ring and stood face to face with Triple H. Lesnar said he's a ticking time bomb because he feels like a caged animal who needs to be let out, Hunter replied to that by saying Lesnar is a animal because of his actions during the #1 Contender's Match a few weeks back which Trip replays for Brock. That seemed to anger Lesnar, to the point that he said "WELL, IF I'M NOT GOING TO BE GIVEN COMPETITION. THEN I'M GOING TO HAVE TO DEMAND IT." That followed up with Lesnar hitting Hunter in the head with the microphone and taking him down. Lesnar then locked in the Kamora Arm Lock on Hunter, the WWE Locker Room then cleared when this happened as all the superstars began to rush the ring. Lesnar escaped the mob but it seemed as though Triple H was injured, he was helped to the back as the WWE Universe booed Lesnar.
