PREVIOUSLY on Raw,
Triple H made a challenge to Brock Lesnar for one more match at
Wrestlemania. We saw that The Shield is vulnerable. We saw the New Age
Outlaws prove that they might be Old School, but they can beat Nueva
Escuela Primo y Epico. The Undertaker made his return and we found out
that CM Punk is the man who will get a chance to prevent Undertaker from
going 21 for 21 at the Biggest Show of the Year.
What will happen when the reunited New Age Outlaws face the reunited
Rhodes Scholars? Will CM Punk use the passing of Paul Bearer to up the
ante for his match with Undertaker? Will Brock Lesnar (or Paul Heyman)
accept Triple H’s challenge?
We are in Indianapolis, Indiana and your announcers are Michael ‘Gene Keady is jealous of Donald Trump’s hair’ Cole and Jerry ‘Larry Bird’ Lawler.

Until CM Punk’s music plays and the Undertaker looks like Paul might have someone visiting him very soon.
Punk wants everyone to simmer down. Everyone misunderstands why he is out here. Punk says that he wanted to extend his heartfelt condolences. He wants to extend his apologizes for Taker’s loss. . . at Wrestlemania.
The silver lining in all of this tragedy is that to Paul Bearer, Taker will be perfect. He will be 20-0. To everyone else, in four weeks, he will be 20 and 1. The night after Wrestlemania, we won’t be paying any heartfelt tributes to Paul Bearer. They will be showing a video of him. In fifty years, people will be asking where you were when CM Punk beat the streak.
