They went to the panel. Michaels said that the future of the company is in the hands of Daniel Bryan and Bray Wyatt and the future is looking good. He said Bryan may have lost but he has faith in Bryan and when the tide turns for him, things will be great. Flair told him he lives on a ranch and needs to learn to pick the right horse. They talked Lesnar vs. Show. Flair, sounding more like his old self then the last time I can recall, picked Lesnar in colorful fashion.
Big Show vs. Brock Lesnar
Lesnar attacked Show as soon as he got in the ring and began beating Show down with punches. He was passed a chair and drilled Show with it over and over before the bell rang. He continued beating Show with the chair. The shots were pretty brutal. Show rolled to the outside. Brock bounced around. Show finally rolled into the ring and Lesnar charged and kicked the hell out of him and charged him with another chair across the back.
The referee finally grabbed the chair and ran out of the ring with it. Heyman nonchalantly handed him another. Lesnar charged him as the referee rang the bell but was nailed with a KO punch by Show. Lesnar went to the floor. Show, his arm hanging as if his shoulder was injured, followed him to the outside and worked him over on the floor. He tossed Lesnar back in but was slow in returning due to the pain of his arm.
Show challenged Brock, who pulled himself to his feet. He went for another KO but Lesnar ducked and nailed the F5 on Show for the pin.
Your winner, Brock Lesnar!
Lesnar looked like he wasn't sure where he was after the match.
Lesnar grabbed another chair from ringside. He stalked around ringside as Show was down on the mat. He slammed it across Show's back over and over as Heyman yelled "No mercy! No compassion! Again!" Show rolled out to the floor as Lesnar followed. The beating continued on the floor. Lesnar just decimated. He actually broke the chair, so Heyman tossed Heyman another chair. The beating continued.
The referee finally tried to stop Lesnar as he went under the ring, so Brock shoved him down. Lesnar kept beating the hell out of Show before finally walking off.
This was a brutal beating. Lesnar is as legitimately scary as they come today in the business. More of an angle really, but this was entertaining from start to finish.
They had close-ups of the welts on Show's back after. Ouch!
He was slowly walked out by the officials. He took a hell of a beating.
Backstage, The Shield did a promo. Dean Ambrose said they have been dominant for over a year and that comes with a price. He said they have 27 enemies tonight but the hounds are hungry. He said they are all going to be tossed out. Roman Reigns said they would be left with the three of them at the end. Seth Rollins said that when it's all done, there will only be one man going to the main event of Wrestlemania, but they will still be united. Roman Reigns said that they both know his swagger is off the charts tonight and he feels he's got the right number. Ambrose questioned him which number he has. Reigns said he wasn't telling. Ambrose offered to tell him his, then said he wasn't going to tell anyone because he might have two numbers. Reigns said no one does. Ambrose said he has all the numbers. Rollins stopped them from arguing and said the only number that matters is three.
WWE World Heavyweight champion Randy Orton was interviewed. He said that it didn't matter if it was Batista, CM Punk, Bray Wyatt, Daniel Bryan or anyone else, he was the true face of the WWE. He called Wyatt a Duck Dynasty lookalike Hillbilly reject. He said that tonight he was going to show the world that John Cena wasn't the face of WWE, either. Good promo.

Orton, evaded the Wyatts by exiting through the crowd.
The Wyatts remained at ringside. Bray instructed them to go for Cena. The crowd chanted for Daniel Bryan. The Wyatts beat down Cena. Bray kissed Cena and gave him Sister Abigail. The crowd popped and chanted, "Yes!"
Wow, I think the real winners are the fans in Pittsburgh, who made it really clear who they wanted to see in the WWE main event picture. Whether the company hears them or not, who knows?
The match itself was well, nothing to write home about. I saw them have a far superior match last month in Madison Square Garden. It was impossible for them to build any momentum with that crowd.
