Paul Heyman promo/Cesaro vs. Mark Henry in a first round match-up for the Intercontinental Championship #1 Contender’s Tournament
Heyman comes out building up himself as the advocate for Brock Lesnar, and says that when he points somebody out as being a future star, people should listen, and he introduces Cesaro.
Cesaro hits the Neutralizer on Henry in another impressive feat of strength. Cesaro still has no music, which is interesting and I’m not sure how I should feel about that. Though no music at the end made this feel a little like the end of Brock Lesnar and The Undertaker from WrestleMania, which might be a good feeling to bring out in people, if Cesaro’s a heel.
Triple H, Stephanie McMahon and Brad Maddox backstage
Triple H and Stephanie are instructing Maddox to find The Shield and tell them that they are in tonight’s main event. Maddox asks if he should inform them who their opponent is. Stephanie responds with a smile and says “no.” This was perfect in building intrigue for the main event.
