Monday Night RAW was live at Times Union Center in Albany, New York. Michael Cole welcomes everyone to the show as The Shield's music hits. We're going to kick the show off with a 20-man battle royal with the WWE United States Championship on the line. The Shield defeated Evolution last night at Extreme Rules, so this is to be some revenge from The Authority.
This match starts with a big cluster-you-know-what. Everyone is attacking one another. Zack Ryder pushes Dolph Ziggler over the top, but he hangs on. In the corner, Big Show chops Jack Swagger's chest. Big Show then grabs Xavier Woods and chops his chest before eliminating him. Big Show chops Fandango's chest, and Santino helps to try and eliminate him. On the other side of the ring, Zack Ryder is eliminated. Big Show stands on Fandango. The camera cuts quickly to see R-Truth get eliminated. Sheamus works on trying to get Goldust over the top rope, but he's unsuccessful. Ziggler jumps on Big Show's back, but he's soon slammed down. Sheamus knees away at Ryback in the corner as Ziggler punches away at Big Show.
Santino avoids elimination a few times. O'Neil is nearly eliminated by Sin Cara and Santino, but he somehow hangs on. Ziggler splashes Heath Slater in the corner. Big Show eliminates Titus O'Neil on the other side. Ziggler and Slater fight on the apron to eliminate one another.

Ambrose and Ziggler try to eliminate Axel, but he holds on. Big Show takes Slater down with a smack on the backside. Big Show chops Fandango down as Sheamus catches Sandow with the 10 Beats of the Bodhrán before eliminating him. Ambrose attacks Sheamus as we go to commercial.
RAW comes back from the break to see a bunch of guys attempting to eliminate Big Show on one side of the ring. On the other side, we see a bunch of people attempting to eliminate Mark Henry. Big Show explodes out of the corner, as does Mark Henry. Big Show and Mark Henry then approach each other in the center of the ring. During the break, Heath Slater was eliminated. Big Show and Henry trade punches until Big Show chokeslams him down. Sheamus then catches Big Show with a Brogue Kick, and everyone in the ring except for Henry works to eliminate Big Show. They then turn their attention to Mark Henry, and they eliminate him as well.
Kingston throws Fandango over the top rope, but he hangs on. Fandango then drops Kingston to the apron. Kingston slingshots back into the ring, and Fandango clotheslines him over, but he holds on upside down. Ambrose quickly throws Fandango out of the ring before kicking an upside down Kingston to eliminate him.
On the other side of the ring, Rhodes accidentally eliminates Goldust. Rybaxel then eliminates Rhodes. Santino throws Ziggler of the top rope, but he hangs on to the apron. Santino then eliminates Ziggler with the Cobra. The crowd boos this. Santino turns and sees Ryback and Axel staring at him. They throw Santino over the top, but he hangs on. Rybaxel then knocks him off.
Rybaxel begins to beat down the rest of the men in the ring. Sheamus, Ambrose, and Swagger are still in it. Sheamus kicks Axel down and hits a rolling fireman's carry on Ryback. Sheamus clotheslines Axel and goes to Brogue Kick Ryback, but Ryback counters into a powerbomb. Ryback is bleeding from the mouth as he hypes up. Ambrose ambushes Ryback with some wild punches as Axel stomps Sheamus in the corner.
Ambrose then takes Axel down with some punches. Rybaxel soon double-teams Ambrose. Rybaxel throws Ambrose toward the ropes, but he hangs on. Ambrose fights them off, and he gives Axel a back body drop over the top rope to eliminate him. Ambrose gets Ryback on the apron, and they duke it out. Ambrose slaps him and dropkicks him in the knee to eliminate him.
It's down to Ambrose, Swagger, and Sheamus. Swagger tries to eliminate Ambrose, who just got back in the ring. Ambrose turns the tables and eliminates Swagger quickly. Ambrose then turns into a vicious Brogue Kick from Sheamus! Sheamus then throws him over the top rope to eliminate him and become the new WWE United States Champion!
They show replays of what just happened. In the ring, The Shield is not happy about what just happened. Triple H's music then hits, and the WWE COO makes his way to the stage. Triple H mentions that Evolution and The Shield engaged in an unforgettable war. In the end, The Shield was extremely lucky. Since Ambrose just lost his United States Championship, it appears their luck is running out. Since the three of them will be in six-man competition against The Wyatt Family, Triple H would be willing to say that their luck has run out!
The commentators talk about what just happened. They then transition to talk of Bray Wyatt's crusade. Later tonight, we'll see Bad News Barrett give Big E his rematch for the WWE Intercontinental Championship.
They also mention that Brock Lesnar and Paul Heyman will be here live to talk about Lesnar's victory at Extreme Rules over Ryan Maverick.
In the arena, Brock Lesnar's theme hits to a mixed reaction and out comes the Beast Incarnate. Lesnar had a smirk on his face as he did his usual jog on the stage in place and threw his arms down to set off his pyro before he and Heyman start making their way towards the ring.
"And here he comes..." Cole said. "The Beast Incarnate. The man who not only conquered the Undertaker at WrestleMania, but conquered Ryan Maverick last night at Extreme Rules."
"It was one hell of a fight, Michael." JBL said as pictures of the match between the two last night was shown. "Ryan fought with everything he had, the kid was tough. He wanted vengeance for his father's defeat at WrestleMania."
"You can't take anything from Ryan." Jerry shook his head. "That young man battled a ruthless, merciless and dangerous man like Brock Lesnar with no hesitation, no fear."
Lesnar jumps onto the ring apron and enters the ring with Heyman who grabs a microphone as Lesnar's theme dies down. The crowd was still booing and cheering them which Lesnar didn't seem to care about as he still smirked.
"Ladies and Gentlemen..." Heyman began with a smirk. "My name is Paul Heyman and I am the advocate for the man who conquered the Undertaker's undefeated Streak at WrestleMania...BROCK LESNAR!" Lesnar smirks and nods a bit. "Last night at Extreme Rules, Ryan Maverick fought with bravery, he fought with dedication, he fought with everything that makes him admirable. I have to admit, I respect his bravery in facing a beast like Brock Lesnar...but he still lost! Ryan fought hard, he fought valiantly, but in the end he fell to the feet of the Conqueror, Brock Lesnar! Like everyone before him, all who step into the ring with Brock Lesnar fall and are conquered! Ask Triple H, ask Shawn Michael, ask John Cena, ask Big Show, ask Mark Henry. Ryan, I admit I respect you for putting your very life on the line to face Brock Lesnar, you have heart, you can make it in this business...as long as you stay out of Brock Lesnar's way, especially when my client comes for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship."
The crowd cheers when Ryan appears on the titantron, getting Lesnar and Heyman's attention. Ryan stares down the two men in the ring with a glare in his eyes. "Brock...my vengeance will never be satisfied until I have your soul in my hands." He said in an ominous tone before the titantron shut off.
Lesnar just smirks and shakes his head before be and Heyman leave and head backstage...
And that's it for this chapter, bit short I know but it was mostly Lesnar and Heyman bragging about Extreme Rules, then Ryan giving Lesnar a threat, showing that things are far from over between them.
