Triple H is shown walking backstage wearing his arm brace and bumps into John Laurinaitis. He says it was hard to watch Brock Lesnar break his arm, but Triple H has his support and sympathy. Triple H says he’ll explain himself in front of the world soon – and good luck this Sunday against John Cena at WWE Over The Limit 2012.
COO Triple H comes out as Cole and Lawler banter about his recent beef with Brock Lesnar and John Laurinaitis. Replay is shown of Lesnar attacking Triple H from 2 weeks ago and ‘breaking his arm’. Triple H says Brock Lesnar talking about bringing “legitimacy” back to WWE offends him. He is Offended by Lesnar’s arrogance and stupidity. It offends Undertaker, HBK, Shawn Michaels, Ric Flair, Hulk Hogan, Bob Backlund, Sammartino. He was embarrassed he bought into Lesnar’s hype. Simpleton farm boy from Minneapolis. He knew Lesnar was going to be the next big thing and he knew he would shoot to the top. But when he did – and when he got challenged, he quit. When it wasn’t so easy, Brock Lesnar quit. And went to the UFC. When he got there, he shot to the top. But when he got his ass kicked a bit, when he got beaten, he quit, like he did before. Lesnar then looked at Cena and thought he could come back and take him out – and was beaten. Cena wouldn’t quit like Lesnar did in the past – and what Lesnar did after losing to Cena – QUIT.
Brock Lesnar’s music hits – and out comes Paul Heyman and another man holding an envelope. Paul Heyman says Triple H is doing damage control and trying to spin the story – when it’s an open and shut case. WWE breached Brock Lesnar’s contract. They bring a fighter into an entertainment corporation and are surprised when he wants to fight? He doesn’t understand Brock Lesnar. Triple H is served with a lawsuit. Brock Lesnar expected more from Triple H. Heyman continues to run Triple H down until Triple H grabs him by the face and has him asking, “What are you doing?!” Triple H tells Heyman to tell Brock Lensar – he’s going to get everything he deserves. Triple H leaves – but Heyman grabs the mic and says Triple H just screwed up again – he just assaulted him – and now he’s going to have lawsuit #2 on his hands and he’ll see him in court.
Footage is shown from last week of John Laurinaitis and the Big Show’s feud, with Show getting in trouble for mocking his voice. Tonight, Big Show will fight Kane – and he’ll be fired if he does not apologize. Also tonight – the return of John Cena after Lord Tensai’s assault 2 weeks ago. Laurinaitis and Cena will go face to face.
