Monday Night Raw starts off with Brock Lesnar and Paul Heyman. Heyman says he knows his job is to hype them up on WrestleMania, but that the main event is a sham. He calls Drew McIntyre a fraud. Heyman goes on to remind people about the Royal Rumble. He tells that McIntyre was only able to eliminate Lesnar because of the assistance of Ricochet. He calls McIntyre names and says Lesnar will squash him at WrestleMania.
Drew McIntyre, with determination in his eyes, interrupts Paul Heyman. He steps right up to Brock, but the champion doesn’t seem to take him seriously. Lesnar goes to leave, but charges toward him. However, McIntyre was ready and flattened Lesnar with a Claymore Kick. With a grin on his face, Drew McIntyre exits. Brock laid flat for a few moments, but was able to roll out with the help of Paul Heyman. A very disgruntled and angry Lesnar bumbles up the ramp, only for McIntyre to reemerge and Claymore Kick him once again. Lesnar tried to return to his feet, but the Royal Rumble winner flattened him for the third time.

Beth Phoenix comes out to give a medical update on Edge. Randy Orton interrupts and attempts to extend his hand to her. Beth calls him a “son of a b**ch” and says if anyone needs to hear what she has to say it is him. Randy cuts her off and says there is no possibility after what he did to Edge he would wrestle again.
Randy goes to tell the story of how he met Edge. He says what Edge said to him gave him confidence to perform in that ring. He goes on to say how they fought all over the world and then became a tag team. Orton says that he then got a little too close to the sun and he made bad life choices. He says that Edge saved his life and reached out and grabbed him out of the hole he dug himself in. He says because of Edge is the reason he can be the father and husband he is. Orton tells Beth that he did what he did to Edge so Edge would be around to be the father and husband he needs to be. He claims he knew that somebody would try to make their name off of Edge and try to put him in a wheelchair. He calls Beth an enabler and says she doesn’t love him because she encouraged him to come back and fight. Orton says he loves Edge and their two girls more than Beth does. Beth smacks him in the face and kicks him in the stomach. Randy Orton retaliates and gives Beth Phoenix the RKO.
Something we all feared… just became a reality. #RKO#Raw #BethPhoenix @RandyOrton pic.twitter.com/XLn8qGW2Y0
