Re: Ruthless Aggression | A WWE 2K20 Universe

May Week 1 | Milwaukee, WI

Match #1: Two on Two Tag Team: John Cena and Booker T w/ nWo vs. The Hardy Boyz
The Hardyz got attacked by a mystery team backstage and were thrown into the ring already injured. They put up a good fight against Booker and Cena, but eventually the damage they sustained prior to the match caught up to them and Cena was able to hit the spin-out powerbomb on Matt Hardy for the 1, 2, 3.
Winners: John Cena & Booker T by pinfall

Match #2: One on One Normal Match: Triple H w/ Evolution vs. The Undertaker
This match barely got anywhere. As soon as Undertaker started gaining an advantage, Ric Flair got involved and hit him with a chop outside of the ring. The ref called for the bell, but Evolution continued to try to attack Taker outside the ring post-match.
Winner: Undertaker by DQ

Match #3: One on One Normal Match: Trish Stratus vs. Lita
These two put on a thrilling match but it was Lita who would take advantage late. Trish hit a Stratusfaction midway through the match but Lita kicked out of it at the last second. When they later brawled outside of the ring, after rolling Trish back in, Lita was able to surprise her with a twist of fate to grab a clean pinfall victory over the Women's Champion.
Winner: Lita by pinfall

Match #4: One on One Normal Match: Big Show vs. Shelton Benjamin
Underhanded tactics from Big Show here. He attacked Benjamin before the match got started, whipping him into the barricade and the steel steps. While the young Benjamin still put up a fight, he was eventually overwhelmed and put down with a chokeslam. Big Show wasn't done after the match was over, hitting Shelton with several violent chair shots after the match and a vicious WMD punch to the head to knock him out cold.
Winner: Big Show by pinfall

Match #5: One on One Normal Match: Eddie Guerrero vs. Chris Jericho
This was a classic match from two of the best technical wrestlers in the business. Both guys landed some big shots including Eddie managing to hit the Frog Splash and Jericho locking in the Walls of Jericho on more than one occasion. It was Jericho, however, who would come out on top, catching Eddie with a surprise Walls of Jericho and forcing the Intercontinental champion to tap out in the center of the ring. Major statement from Y2J.
Winner: Chris Jericho by submission.

Main Event: Two on Two Tag Team: British Bulldog & Kurt Angle vs. The Hart Foundation
The Hart Foundation were attacked by what appeared to be the same mystery tag team that attacked the Hardyz earlier on in the night. Angle and British Bulldog, as a result, were able to easily dispatch them as the American and British icons picked up a win to close out the night. Who is this mystery team going around attacking everyone?
Winners: Kurt Angle & British Bulldog by pinfall

Re: Ruthless Aggression | A WWE 2K20 Universe

May Week 2 | Pensacola, FL

Show Opener Promo: Undertaker
Undertaker got on the mic to start out the show and immediately called out Triple H and Evolution for their antics last week. He demanded a rematch with HHH to prove who the better man truly is after Flair interfered in their previous one, but Triple H refused.

Match #1: One on One Normal Match: Bubba Ray Dudley vs. Jeff Hardy
This was supposed to be a one on one bout between Bubba Ray and Jeff, but that wasn't the case. D-Von came out as Bubba's "manager" for the contest, and proceeded to get much more involved than any manager should. He held Jeff Hardy's feet as he tried to do a rope rebound move, allowing Bubba to knock him out and hit him with the cutter. Hardy kicked out, but later, D-Von would run more interference, this time distracting the referee allowing Bubba to hit Jeff with a steel chair for the 1, 2, 3. After the match, the Dudley Boyz tried to put Jeff through a table, but his brother Matt scrambled to ringside to make the save.
Winner: Bubba Ray Dudley by pinfall

Match #2: One on One Normal Match: Eddie Guerrero vs. Kane
Another valiant effort from Eddie Guerrero ends in a loss. The intercontinental champion was completely manhandled by Kane early on, to the point of even being chokeslammed through the announce table. After just beating a 10 count, Guerrero got back in the ring and rallied a little bit, but Kane was too much for him. A diving clothesline followed by another relentless chokeslam handed the win to the Big Red Machine. Eddie's claim to the title is looking shaky now with back to back losses to two of his top contenders in the last two weeks.
Winner Kane by Pinfall

Match #3: Two on Two Tag Team: nWo vs. Hart Foundation
The Hart Foundation bounced back from being attacked and losing last week, to pick up a big win over the nWo. Bret Hart and Jim were able to hit Scott Hall with the Hart Attack in order to pick up the victory.
Winners: Hart Foundation by pinfall

Show Closer Promo: Shelton Benjamin
Shelton called out Big Show and demanded answers for why he attacked him with a chair last week. Big Show said superstars "like Shelton" are ruining the industry and just parasites. Definitely some racial undertones to that statement and Shelton certainly didn't take kindly to them. He told Show that he's just scared of a brighter, younger, better looking star taking his spot... and his title. Big Show said if a title shot is what he wants, he can have one but not until the pay per view, IF he can make it there in two weeks.

Main Event: Two on Two Tag Team: Edge & Christian vs. The Rock & Rikishi
Edge and Christian looked on their way to a certain win. The former tag champs were able to isolate The Rock and wear him down, preventing from tagging in Rikishi. But eventually The Great One was just too great for them. He countered Edge with a series of moves, before hitting him with a spinebuster. And in a rare move for The Rock, he locked in a sharpshooter, forcing the Ultimate Opportunist to tap out to close out Smackdown!. Rikish looked a little frustrated by how little action he got in this match, but still shook hands with his partner, The Rock, after it was over.
Winners: The Rock & Rikishi

Re: Ruthless Aggression | A WWE 2K20 Universe

May Week 3 | Honolulu, HI

Match #1: One on One Normal Match: Matt Hardy w/ Jeff Hardy vs. D-Von Dudley w/ Bubba Ray Dudley
Matt Hardy out-wrestled D-Von from the get-go in this match, and managed to hit the Twist of Fate on him. As he was going for the pin though, Bubba dragged the referee out of the ring to stop the three count. The referee let Bubba off with just a warning and the match continued. However, later, Bubba threw in a chair for D-Von to use and the ref saw him do so and tossed him from ringside. Hardy used the chair to his advantage, smashing D-Von's head directly into it with a second Twist of Fate to pick up the win. This was good revenge for the Hardyz after Jeff lost to Bubba last week.
Winner: Matt Hardy by Pinfall

Match #2: One on One Normal Match: Triple H w/ Evolution vs. Undertaker
Despite a ton of interference from Evolution, Undertaker was still able to overwhelm Triple H and hit him with the Tombstone for an impressive win over the champion. After the match, a sportsmanlike Taker tried to shake hands with HHH but The Game batted his hand away and slinked back to the locker room, frustrated at losing cleanly.
Winner: Undertaker by Pinfall

Middle Card Promo: Shelton Benjamin
Shelton Benjamin came to declare that he is the leader of the New Era in WWE, and older guys like the Big Show are going to be phased out soon. That didn't sit well with Show who then came out to interrupt his promo. Show declared he's the best in the WWE today and no young star is going to unseat him. He told Shelton that he's way in over his head asking for a match against him, but he'll give him exactly what he's asking for. Benjamin promised to kick show's *** when they eventually face off.

Match #3: One on One Normal Match: Eddie Guerrero vs. Randy Orton
These two wrestled a great match, but it would be a third loss in as many weeks for Guerrero. Eddie looked set to pick up the win after laying out Orton and perching himself atop the ropes in preparation for the Frog Splash. However, Orton got his knees up just as Eddie made impact, and then quickly sprung to his feet to RKO a dazed Guerrero for the win.
Winner: Randy Orton by Pinfall

Main Event: Stephanie McMahon w/ Mr. McMahon vs. Beth Phoenix
Being 'Daddy's Little Girl' didn't do much to help Stephanie here. Vince got tossed early by the referee for interfering way too much, and Stephanie was instantly in trouble against the much more skilled Glamazon. Beth eventually forced her to tap in the center of the ring, showing just how dominant of a force she can be in the women's division.
Winner: Beth Phoenix by Submission

Show Closer Promo: Trish Stratus
Trish came out to make a statement.It's been two weeks since she lost to Lita clean on Smackdown! and she had major grievances to air. She said Lita has been pretending to be her friend this whole time when she's really her enemy and after her title. She demanded Lita come out to the ring so she can speak directly to her face. Lita could barely get a word in, as Trish continued to accuse her of thinking she's the best and that she deserves Trish's #1 spot and Women's Championship. Lita eventually got tired of the talk and said if Trish is so upset, maybe they should just fight right now, but a cowardly Trish Stratus refused and simply walked away. Before Trish could make it all the way backstage though, Lita made one final prediction, she WILL become the Women's Champion at Backlash. Whether Trish wants to defend her title or not.

Re: Ruthless Aggression | A WWE 2K20 Universe

May Week 4 | San Diego, CA

Match #1: One on One Normal Match: Undertaker vs. Triple H w/ Randy Orton
Just as the bell rang to start the match, Triple H tried to get a cheap shot in on Undertaker after the frustration of losing last week. Taker ducked, but this led to HHH clotheslining the official and incapacitating him for a good portion of the fight. That effectively made this a handicap match, with Randy Orton joining in on a 2 on 1 assault on the American Bad ***. While Taker was able to kick out of a pedigree when the referee came to, he couldn't survive a second one and lost the match. After the bout was over, HHH looked to finish off Taker before the upcoming Backlash PPV by pedigreeing him directly onto a steel chair. Taker lay motionless as the champ stood tall above him.
Winner: HHH by Pinfall

Match #2: Two on Two Tag Team: Hart Foundation vs. Hardy Boyz
As the Hardyz were making their way to ringside, the mystery attackers from earlier this month attacked them from behind. They then took off their masks and hoodies to reveal they were the Dudley Boyz this whole time! The Dudleyz contined their assault on Jeff and Matt and hurled both of them into the ring in no condition to fight. The Hart Foundation some what begrudgingly made short work of the brothers for a pinfall victory. The Dudley Boyz definitely have the psychological advantage heading into their title match at Backlash.
Winners: Hart Foundation by Pinfall

Match #3: One on One Normal Match: Shelton Benjamin vs. John Cena
In a matchup of two of the best and brightest young talents in the WWE, Shelton would prove victorious in the end. After Benjamin defeated Cena, Big Show came out to give him some fake applause. Shelton motioned for him to come down to the ring so he can let his actions speak for him, but Show laughed him off saying there will be plenty of time for that at Backlash in their match.
Winner: Shelton Benjamin by Pinfall

Match #4: One on One Normal Match: Eddie Guerrero vs. Booker T w/ nWo
This one played out even worse for Eddie than his losses in previous weeks. Booker was dominating throughout, and Eddie barely got any offense. Then, to add insult to injury, Booker used one of Eddie's own dirty tricks by using the ropes as leverage to get the pin over the Intercontinental Champion. This marks the 4th straight week and 4th intercontinental title challenger that Eddie has lost to. Booker, keenly aware of this, stated that he's gotten approval from Vince McMahon for "FIVE WAY, FIVE WAY, FIVE WAY, FIVE WAY, FIVE WAY!" match for the intercontinental championship at Backlash between himself, Eddie Guerrero, Chris Jericho, Kane and Randy Orton.
Winner: Booker T by Pinfall

Match #5: One on One Normal Match: Chris Jericho vs. Kane
In somewhat of a prelude to the just-announced 5-way match for the Intercontinental Title at Backlash, two of its competitors, Chris Jericho and Kane, faced off. Chris Jericho was able to use his speed and technical prowess to get the advantage early on, but a few big shots from Kane crippled him, including a blow to the face that busted him open. Jericho was so disoriented that Kane didn't even need to use his patented chokeslam to get the win, as he finished off Jericho with a powerful sidewalk slam for the 1, 2, 3. This is definitely great momentum for the Big Red Machine to go into Sunday's title bout with.
Winner: Kane by Pinfall

Main Event: Two on Two Tag Team: Kurt Angle & Shawn Michaels vs. Edge & Christian
Before this match could even get going, the mystery attackers, who we earlier found out are the Dudley Boyz, decided to once again interject themselves into the affairs of another tag team. This time they went after Edge and Christian. Angle and HBK tried, but failed to break things up before the Dudleyz could roll E&C into the ring and high-tail it backstage after another cowardly attack. HBK and Angle offered to not go ahead with the matchup, but Edge and Christian being brave fighters agreed to do it anyway. Big mistake as Kurt Angle and HBK, two of the best wrestlers on the entire roster made quick work of them, not dissimilarly from what the Hart Foundation did to the Hardyz earlier on in the night. Why are the Dudleyz causing so much havoc in the tag division?
Winners: Kurt Angle & Shawn Michaels by Pinfall.

Re: Ruthless Aggression | A WWE 2K20 Universe

May PPV | Philadelphia, PA

Match #1: 5-Man Normal: Eddie Guerrero (C) vs. Kane vs. Chris Jericho vs. Booker T vs. Randy Orton for the Intercontinental Championship
The deck was stacked heavily against Eddie Guerrero in this one, and things weren't made any easier with the other four competitors targeting him from the outset. He was almost never a factor in a match where he was supposed to be defending his title. Each of the other four competitors came close to winning. Booker T hit a Book End on Jericho in the center of the ring, but a slow count from the ref allowed Orton to break up the pin. Orton nearly put Booker T out of commission with a punt kick but he dodged at the last moment. And Kane looked to have it won after a chokeslam on Orton. However, before Kane could go for the pin, Booker T threw him out of the ring and tried to get the pin himself. It seemed like a smart strategy until Y2J grabbed both his legs, and locked Booker in the Walls of Jericho, forcing him to tap out. Jericho is your new Intercontinental Champion!
Winner: Chris Jericho by Pinfall

Match #2: Two on Two Tag Team: Dudley Boyz vs. Hardy Boyz (C) for the World Tag Team Championships
This match devolved into utter chaos. After the Dudleyz nearly put the Hardyz away with a 3-D on Matt for a near-fall, the action spilled to the outside of the ring. Both teams were beating the holy hell out of each other at ringside, and simply lost track of the 10 count. Bubba was able to slide back into the ring in time, but Matt Hardy was being wailed on by D-Von and failed to meet the 10-count. The Dudleyz were awarded the win, however a title cannot change hands on a count out, so the Hardy Boyz remain World Tag Team Champions.
Winner: Dudley Boyz by Count Out

Match #3: Two on Two Tag Team: Hart Foundation vs. Edge & Christian
This was a fun matchup between two face tag teams. The more experience Hart Foundation would come out on top with Bret Hart locking in the Sharpshooter on Christian to pick up the win for his team. This win establishes the Hart Foundation firmly as the #3 team in the tag division, and they should be next in line to take on whoever comes out on top in the feud between the Hardyz and Dudleyz
Winner: Hart Foundation by Submission

Match #4: One on One Normal: Lita vs. Trish Stratus (C) for the WWE Women's Championship
Lita promised Trish and the WWE universe that she would become the new Women's Champion at Backlash... well that was not to be. She looked poised to win, perched atop the top rope ready to deliver a Swanton Bomb, but Trish was playing possum and she quickly sprang to her feet and tripped Lita up on the ropes. This gave Trish just enough time to recover and hit her with the Stratusfaction tor to the three-count to retain her championship.
Winner: Trish Stratus by Pinfall

Match #5: One on One Normal: Shelton Benjamin vs. Big Show (C) for the United States Championship
Wow... the Big Show has never bee dominated so thoroughly before. Shelton Benjamin proved to be every bit as advertised in this match, putting on an athletic showcase the likes of which has rarely been seen before in the WWE. He was all over Show from the onset, and while the giant did get a good sequence of offense in, it was shortlived. After hitting a spear, Show geared up for a chokeslam, but Shelton ducked under his arm and seemingly in an instant, sprung up with a superkick that knocked Show out cold. Not only is Shelton Benjamin the new United States Champion, but he might just be the best new thing WWE has to offer right now.
Winner: Shelton Benjamin by Pinfall

Match #6: One on One Normal: British Bulldog vs. Kurt Angle
This was a good technical match to lead into the main event. Bulldog and Angle are both great mat wrestlers, but Angle is the best and he showed it in this one, eventually working over Bulldog's ankles and locking him in the Ankle Lock for a submission victory.
Winner: Kurt Angle by Submission

Match #7: One on One No Holds Barred: Undertaker vs. Triple H (C) for the WWE Championship
Triple H's championship reign has come to an end. The Game used every trick in the book to try to retain his title. With the No Holds Barred stipulation in place he made regular use of his trusted sledgehammer, landing several heavy blows to the midsection and legs of Taker, but none were enough to put him down. Even after two pedigrees, The Phenom was still able to kick out and continue fighting. Eventually, after HHH had avoided it a few times, Taker nailed him with a chokeslam and followed that up with the Last Ride to put down the champion for good. With no Evolution around to save him, no backup plan and no way out, HHH was pinned in the center of the ring by Undertaker, who became the new WWE Champion.
Winner: Undertaker by Pinfall

Re: Ruthless Aggression | A WWE 2K20 Universe

King of the Ring Tournament Announced

King of the Ring is returning for another year as the pay-per-view at the end of June. Sixteen superstars will take part in a single elimination, knockout tournament to determine who is the true king of the ring. This year's tournament comes with a twist though. Instead of just becoming king, whoever wins will be awarded the brand new King of the Ring Briefcase, which inside contains a contract allowing the superstar to have a match for the WWE Championship any time and anywhere they want.

This raises the stakes significantly as the tournament is no longer just for robes, a crown and bragging rights, but also the opportunity to become the number one superstar on the roster and represent the WWE as its champion. The tournament begins at the start of June and the format will look as follows with the semi-finals and final taking place at the PPV at the end of June:

June Week 1: 1st Half of the Round of 16
June Week 2: 2nd Half of the Round of 16
June Week 3: 1st Half of Quarter-Finals
June Week 4: 2nd Half of Quarter-Finals
King of the Ring PPV: Semi-Finals and Finals

[Xixak]

Re: Ruthless Aggression | A WWE 2K20 Universe

June Week 1 | Houston, TX

Match #1: Two on Two Tag Team: Hardy Boyz vs. Dudley Boyz
Vince McMahon sanctioned yet another match between these two tag teams to start off the show, which surprisingly was not a rematch for the title despite a screwy finish to the pay-per-view. The Dudleyz were livid about this and sneaked on the Hardyz from behind as they were doing their entrance to assault them. The match still went on however, and despite starting with a disadvantage, Matt and Jeff were able to pull off the win. After Jeff countered a cutter from Bubba, he hit a quick Twist of Fate on him to roll him up for the pin. Is this end of the feud or will things continue between these two rival teams?
Winners: Hardy Boyz by Pinfall

Match #2: One on One Normal: Undertaker vs. The Rock
No rest for the weary, as the new WWE Champion, Undertaker, was set to face the People's Champion, The Rock in singles action. Of course, Triple H couldn't help himself and decided to come out to "watch" from ringside. The match continued as normal until Taker whipped the Rock into the corner hard and knocked him down. HHH got up from his chair at that point to start talking trash to him, and with the distraction, the champ took his eyes off The Rock. That was a mistake as The Rock was able to take advantage by hurling Taker into the ringpost, rolling him back into the ring and hitting a Rock Bottom to get the victory.
Winner: The Rock by Pinfall

Match #3: KOTR Round of 16: Steve Austin (#1) vs. Rikishi (#16)
Rikishi knew he had to gain every advantage he could to defeat someone of Austin's caliber in the opening match of the tournament. So he tried to start a brawl outside before the bell rung. That didn't really work however, as Austin came out on top in that melee. The Samoan star was able to shock Austin by kicking out of his first stunner, but Austin quickly rallied to hit a Lou Thesz Press and a second Stunner to advance to the quarter-finals in relatively easy fashion.
Winner: Steve Austin by Pinfall

Match #4: KOTR Round of 16: Eddie Guerrero (#8) vs. Big Show (#9)
This was a matchup between the two middle seeds in the tournament, who also happen to be the two recently dethroned mid-card champions with Show and Guerrero having lost their United States and Intercontinental titles to Shelton Benjamin and Chris Jericho respectively at Backlash. You could feel the desperation coming off of both guys to turn around their fortunes and advance far in this tournament. Big Show had a significant size and power advantage, but the resiliency shown by Eddie Guerrero was incredible. He kicked out of not one, but two Weapon of Mass Destruction punches to stay alive. He later showed an insane feat of strength, hitting the Three Amigos suplexes on Big Show. He followed that up with a Frog Splash, which Big Show kicked out of, but Eddie immediately climbed the ropes to hit a second one and get the pinfall victory. Eddie's 5-match losing streak is over and he's into the King of the Ring Quarter-Finals.
Winner: Eddie Guerrero by Pinfall

Match #5: KOTR Round of 16: Bret "Hitman" Hart (#4) vs. British Bulldog (#13)
The younger fans may not know this, but these two have a lot of history. Both trained in the Hart Dungeon, both members (present and past) of the Hart Foundation. Bulldog seemed to know Hart like the back of his hand, and he was reversing every move The Hitman tried to land on him. It looked almost like British Bulldog was going to get the upset after hitting a running powerslam, but Bret was just able to get his feet on the ropes at the last second to break the pin. Later, Bulldog would go for a school-boy roll up to get a sneaky win, but Bret countered that into the Sharpshooter, and Bulldog was forced to tap out with nowhere to go in the center of the ring.
Winner: Bret Hart by Submission

Main Event: KOTR Round of 16: Kurt Angle (#5) vs. Booker T (#12) w/ nWo
The deck was completely stacked against Angle in this one. Despite coming in as the higher seed, he was really the underdog and it showed. He's a better wrestler than Booker, but Nash and Hall accompanying their nWo buddy at ringside made things very challenging for him. Case in point, Angle had Booker beat after a german suplex and an Angle Slam, but Scott Hall decided to have a conversation with the referee just as that happened to prevent Angle from actually getting the 3-count. Later, Nash would provide a distraction allowing Booker to blindside Kurt with a Book End for a near fall. The cheating reached its peak at the end when Hall threw a steel chair into the ring, and Booker picked it up and wedged it in the corner. When Angle returned to the ring, Booker whipped him face-first into the chair and rolled a dazed Angle up for the win. After the match, the nWo added insult to injury by stomping out Kurt Angle. Booker is going to be very difficult to eliminate from this tournament if the nWo are allowed to continue to "manage" him at ringside.
Winner: Booker T by Pinfall

Re: Ruthless Aggression | A WWE 2K20 Universe

Updated King of the Ring Bracket after June Week 1

[Xixak]

Re: Ruthless Aggression | A WWE 2K20 Universe

June Week 2 | Hartford, CT

Match #1: One on One Normal: Matt Hardy vs. D-Von Dudley
The feud continues to rage on between the Dudleyz and the Hardyz. This time, Matt took on D-Von in a singles match with both brothers barred from ringside. These two aren't really known for their singles work but they put on a great show in which both guys had their signature moves and finishers countered multiple times. It was D-Von who would come out victorious though, catching Matt with an inverted DDT to win the match. And of course winning, as usual, was not enough. D-Von stopped to think for a second before leaving the ring, then proceeded to stomp the living hell out of Matt Hardy before the referee could pull him away.
Winner: D-Von Dudley by Pinfall.

Match #2: One on One Normal: Kurt Angle vs. Triple H
This was supposed to be a contest between Kurt Angle and Triple H, but Undertaker came out just before the bell rang to act as HHH's "manager". After the interference from HHH last week in Taker's loss to The Rock, it seemed certain Taker would look to exact some form of revenge and he did exactly that. After Triple H pedigreed Kurt, he went for the pin, but Undertaker grabbed Angle's leg and put it on the bottom rope breaking up the pin. An infuriated HHH got into a heated argument with Taker after that, but when he returned to the ring Angle was waiting for him with an Angle Slam and put him down for the win. HHH and Taker have now both successfully screwed each other in consecutive weeks.
Winner: Kurt Angle by Pinfall.

Match #3: KOTR Round of 16: Shawn Michaels (#3) vs. Rey Mysterio (#14)
Shawn Michaels nearly won this in the first few minutes. He dominated offensively from the onset, and after a diving elbow drop, hit a Sweet Chin Music on Mysterio that should have ended the match, but Rey showed incredible heart to kick out at 2.99. It took him a while to get back into the contest and he did but HBK again gained the advantage and went for a second Sweet Chin Music. This time Rey dodged, and knocked HBK into the ropes before delivering a 6-1-9. His ensuing West Coast Pop drew a huge pop from the crowd as he pinned HBK in a major upset to advance to the quarter-finals. After the match, HBK showed some serious class, shaking hands with Mysterio and applauding his big win.
Winner: Rey Mysterio by Pinfall.

Match #4: KOTR Round of 16: Edge (#11) w/ Christian vs. Brock Lesnar (#6) w/ Paul Heyman
Edge might has well have not even shown up to this match. Lesnar never let him get any offense going, and despite Edge shockingly kicking out of the first F-5, that only made Brock angry and the second F-5 moments later would drop Edge for good. Brock advances to the quarter-finals easily.
Winner: Brock Lesnar by Pinfall

Match #5: KOTR Round of 16: Kane (#7) vs. Randy Orton (#10) w/ Ric Flair and Batista
Randy Orton, Flair and Batista showed exactly what strength in numbers means in this match. While Orton was clearly at a disadvantage against Kane, his Evolution buddies more than evened the odds with their ringside antics. They were constantly distracting both Kane and the referee in an effort to give Orton a leg up and it eventually paid off. Orton is known for being able to hit the RKO out of nowhere, and even being distracted for just a split second is enough for him to capitalize. And that is exactly what happened when Orton hit an unsuspecting Kane with his finisher for the 3 count. Kane looks extremely frustrated and dejected by the loss after the match, as he was a favourite to go far in this tournament and instead will be leaving in the first round.
Winner: Randy Orton by Pinfall

Main Event: KOTR Round of 16: John Cena (#15) vs. The Rock (#2)
There was a lot of hype for the young upstart John Cena coming into tonight, which is precisely why this match was picked to be the main event. He didn't live up to it at all. Cena looked desperate early on, going for pins after basic moves and not even getting 1 counts. Eventually The Rock got tired of toying with him and hit a series of moves followed by a Rock Bottom to get a very easy win over the self-proclaimed Doctor of Thuganomics.
Winner: The Rock by Pinfall
