Stardust.  Next, a Superstar who has performed all over the world and is known for his high flying antics and wrestling under a mask . . . Sin Cara.   The final participant is a man who has been in WWE for years and feels like he deserves more.  A man who dresses like a teenager when he is probably thirty. . . Zack Ryder.

Stephanie McMahon is on the phone and she says she is thinking about leaving.  She says she will meet him in a few minutes as Kevin Owens enters the office.

Stephanie says that Kevin will face all six men at Wrestlemania. 

Kevin says Hunter says good things about him.

Stephanie tells him not to tell her what her husband thinks.  If you want to climb the ladder to success, the match at Wrestlemania will be a Ladder Match.  She tells Kevin to turn the lights out when he leaves.

We go to commercial.

We are back and Stephanie is getting ready to leave Raw and a vehicle backs up and Hunter emerges.  Stephanie gets in and they open the gate to get out but Roman Reigns is standing there.

Roman walks at a brisk pace and the vehicle does not move.  Reigns opens the door and pulls Hunter out while Stephanie screams uncontrolably.  Hunter punches Reigns and the vehicle drives away.

We go to commercial.

We are back with a Moments Ago Moment of Roman Reigns probably watching Raw to know that Hunter was picking up Stephanie in the back.

We are back and Vince McMahon makes his way to the ring for a special announcement.

Vince wants everyone to be kind and nice.  He reminds everyone that his former son Shane will face the Undertaker at Wrestlemania in Hell in a Cell.  If there were some sort of miracle and Shane would win the match, it would mean that Shane runs Raw.  That would mean that his son-in-law and daughter would probably quit the business.  It would probably mean that you would have seen the last of him.  

The crowd seems to be okay with that fact.  Vince says you want to cheer for Shane.  You want Shane to run the show?  That is what is wrong with you.  You cheer for Shane and that enables him to do things he knows he cannot do.

We take a look back at last week's Raw when Taker and Shane brawled.

Vince says that was absolutely sweet.  It will take more than one or two or three choke slams to defeat Shane McMahon.  Shane will fight with every drop of blood in his body and with every breath in his body.  Shane is the most formidable opponent that Taker has faced.  Will Taker defeat Shane?  He damn well better.  Taker is his instrument of destruction as well as his bitch.

If Undertaker does not beat Shane, it will be the Undertaker's last.

Dean Ambrose comes out for his match.

We are back and Paul Heyman is with the announcers to talk about Brock Lesnar's appearance on Smackdown.
