Undertaker says that, every day for the past year, he has “relived” the beating that he received from Triple H at last year’s WrestleMania. Undertaker continues that it has been a “hell of uncertainty”, one which he cannot stand. Undertaker then says that he never expected the answer he got from Triple H, but says that it was not Triple H’s choice to make. Undertaker continues that they are on the verge of an “apocalypse of wrestling” as they are the last of their kind. Undertaker then says that the suit and the responsibilities are just “layers” that keep Triple H from showing his true self. Undertaker continues that Triple H will not “lie” to him before telling Triple H to come out there and look him in the eyes, adding that it is much bigger than both of them because it is the “apocalypse”. Triple H then comes out as “The Game” enters the ring to face The Undertaker. Triple H begins to speak, but The Undertaker tells Triple H to keep his pity, saying that it is “pitiful” that Triple H keeps making excuses. Triple H tells Undertaker that their “fate” is not to end it, it is to keep things alive for the WWE, saying that Undertaker needs to “carry the torch” and he will not extinguish the torch because it is “bad for business”. Undertaker then asks Triple H is it is “bad for business” for him to be gone or for Triple H to be gone. Triple H says that, for the past year, he has been “certain” before saying that Undertaker is asking him for an “end”. Triple H continues that, deep down, Undertaker really wants Triple H to “finish” him, but he will not be the one who finishes it. Undertaker tells Triple H that he can spin it any way he wants, but at the end of the day, Triple H will look in the mirror and see a “coward”. Triple H says that he is sick of the coward talk, but before being baited into a match, Triple H realizes Undertaker’s ploy before telling The Undertaker “no”. Triple H then leaves the ring as Undertaker says that Triple H knows that he cannot do what Shawn Michaels could not do and that Triple H knows that Michaels was “better” than Triple H! Triple H then takes off his jacket and tie before walking back to the ring and telling Undertaker that it has “nothing to do” with Shawn Michaels because he knows that he can do what Michaels cannot do and that is finish The Undertaker. Triple H then says that the layers are off before saying that, if The Undertaker wants an “end” at WrestleMania, then he’s got it! Triple H then tells The Undertaker that, if they are going to do this, they are going “all the way” and he will only face The Undertaker under one condition and that is that their match takes place inside Hell in a Cell! The Undertaker then pats Triple H on the shoulder before leaving the ring, stopping on the stage to look at Triple H and give a smirk. For only the second time in WrestleMania history, the epic rematch between Triple H and The Undertaker will take place inside the unforgiving structure that both men have established as their own, Hell in a Cell. Can Triple H finally be the one to end the legendary streak of The Undertaker?

After an awkward confrontation with Eve earlier in the show, John Cena re-appeared on RAW to address his WrestleMania opponent, The Rock. Cena says that he used to love The Rock like they do, but then he morphed into Dwayne and became a “disciple of Team Film It”. Cena continues that Rock is a “champion of people” as Rock has an entourage of people who protect him. Cena then says that he does not respect The Rock and he has had the same problem with The Rock for seven years before saying that, through it all, he has always shown up and he “never left”. Cena says that, as soon as The Rock got his first movie, he was gone. Then, last year, The Rock came back and proclaimed that he was “never leaving” before he left again. Cena then says that the only reason that Rock came back the first time was to promote his movie and launch his Twitter account. Cena continues that, at WrestleMania, he is fighting for all the Superstars who remained a Superstar and he is fighting for the small group of people who can say that they are proud to be a professional wrestler. Cena then says that it will be great a week after WrestleMania when he is on RAW while The Rock is on a movie set laughing at a stunt double. Cena then proclaims that The Rock will have to “kill” him to beat him at WrestleMania and the headline will read that Cena beat The Rock at WrestleMania!

Chris Jericho then shoves Kofi Kingston off of the top rope, eliminating Kofi while EMT’s tend to Wade Barrett. After an impressive showing in the Battle Royal, Santino Marella was eliminated by Cody Rhodes moments before Big Show sends Rhodes over the top.
