In-Ring Segment: Ultimate Warrior
When we return from commercial, Ultimate Warrior’s theme music hits and the newest WWE Hall Of Fame member makes his way to the ring in a suit, sans-facepaint. As he approaches the ring, he puts on a Warrior-style overcoat. When he gets to the ring, he shakes the hell out of the ropes, like only Warrior can.
The music fades out and we hear, “speak to me, Warriors.” The fans explode and start a “Warrior” chant. He says he wasn’t sure what he was going to say tonight. He then stops and puts on a Halloween-style mask (complete with the string and paper clip holding it together). He asks the camera man to hold his mic so he can put it on. Once he gets the mask on, he goes nuts and turns into the real Warrior, making pretty much no sense in the process. Gotta love it. We head to another commercial.
In-Ring Segment: AJ Lee, Tamina Snuka and Paige
When we return from commercial, AJ Lee’s music hits. The WWE Divas Champion makes her way to the ring with Tamina Snuka. Her music fades down and she gets on the mic.
AJ starts off by saying, “295.” She says that’s how many days she has held the WWE Divas Championship. She brags about holding the record as longest Divas Champion in history. She talks about how she stood on the stage several months ago and ripped all of the Divas a much deserved “new one” and said she gave them 294 days to prove her wrong. She calls herself the “Best Diva in the World.” The fans all explode with CM Punk chants due to the “Best in the World” reference.
Out of nowhere, some music hits and out walks NXT Diva, Paige. The fans go ballistic. I haven’t heard a pop for a Diva that loud in a long time. The music dies down and the fans break out into a “Paige, Paige” chant. Paige congratulates AJ, but AJ tells her to run back to NXT because she doesn’t need her congrats. AJ challenges Paige. Paige says she’s not ready. AJ bitch-smacks her really hard. AJ asks if she’s ready now. She says it’s time for a match and she says she’s putting her title on the line.
WWE Divas Championship
– AJ Lee (c) vs. Paige
The fans break out into a “this is awesome” chant. The bell rings and AJ immediately attacks Paige. The fans all boo her loudly. AJ skips around proudly.
AJ ends up locking Paige in her Black Widow submission finisher out of the blue. Paige struggles for a while, but eventually reverses her way out of it, slamming AJ sloppily in the process. She covers her. 1-2-3. We have a new WWE Divas Champion. We head to a commercial.
Winner and NEW WWE Divas Champion: Paige
When we return from commercial, we see a shot of the Andre The Giant Memorial Battle Royal trophy in the middle of the ring. After that, “Real American” hits, and Hulk Hogan makes his way to the ring to the iconic song. “The Hulkster” gets a great reaction from the New Orleans fans.
Hulk Hogan Presents Trophy To Cesaro, Cesaro Becomes A “Paul Heyman Guy”
Hogan opens by poking fun at himself with a “Superdome” reference. The fans break out into a “Cesaro” chant as he talks about loving seeing the Andre The Giant Memorial Battle Royal last night. Hogan introduces Cesaro, who makes his way out to the ring with Zeb Colter. The fans “hum” Cesaro’s theme song as The Real American makes his way to the ring.
Before Cesaro can speak, Zeb Colter cuts him off and says, “I’ll take it from here.” Colter says Cesaro is a “Zeb Colter guy.” Cesaro cuts him off and says he’s not a “Zeb Colter guy,” he’s a “Paul Heyman guy.” Out comes Paul Heyman. Heyman comes out to a huge pop.
Heyman says not only is he the advocate to the conquerer of the streak, but he’s the advocate of the “king of swing.” Colter flips out and asks if Cesaro is jumping ship. Heyman calls Colter a “grandpa.”
Out of nowhere, Jack Swagger attacks Cesaro from behind. He smashes the Andre The Giant Memorial Battle Royal trophy. Cesaro looks pissed outside of the ring, re-enters the ring and brutalizes Swagger. We head to a commercial as the fans passionately chant, “Cesaro.”
Cesaro (with Paul Heyman) vs. Jack Swagger (with Zeb Colter)
When we return from commercial, we are informed that Brad Maddox made a match. We see the match in progress, and it’s Cesaro, with Paul Heyman in his corner, taking on his former “Real American” tag-team partner Jack Swagger, who has Zeb Colter in his corner.
Cesaro is going to work on Swagger as the fans “hum” the old Real Americans theme song. This crowd has managed to keep their crazy energy going for three hours. Color me impressed. We see a shot of Heyman holding what’s left of the Andre The Giant Memorial Battle Royal trophy.
Meanwhile, Swagger starts to get the better of Cesaro, as Colter looks ahead with pride. Cesaro eventually starts fighting back, with the crowd very much behind him. Cesaro goes for the “Cesaro Swing” on Swagger, but his former Real American partner ducks out the back door and heads up the ramp with Zeb Colter. The referee counts him out. After the match, we head to another commercial break.
Winner via Count Out: Cesaro
Backstage Segment: Stephanie McMahon, The Shield & Kane
When we return from commercial break, we shoot backstage to Stephanie McMahon, who is with The Shield and Kane. All three members of The Shield argue with Kane, but ultimately Stephanie forces them to all agree to be on the same page and make sure that Triple H walks out of New Orleans tonight as the WWE World Heavyweight Champion. We head to another commercial.
