This week's Raw started off with a video footage of how John Lauranitis and Lord Tensai had assaulted John Cena last week, before Lauranitis announcing himself to be Cena's opponent at Over the Limit. Lauranitis made his way to the ring with his President-esque music, and gloated over the fact that he had 'picked up where Brock Lesnar left off' and injured Cena's pride after Lesnar had injured Cena's arm. Lauranitis blamed Cena for making him enter this 'fit of destruction' by calling him an idiot and a corporate jackass. Lauranitis showed a video of his wrestling days in Japan. Lauranitis put the entire locker room on notice, warning anyone who insulted him or his voice of 'dire consequences'. This brought out the WWE Champion CM Punk, who mocked the GM, promising to watch Cena destroy Lauranitis at Over the Limit. Lauranitis responded by booking Punk vs. Lord Tensai in the main event of the night.

Cody Rhodes put his Intercontinental Championship on the line in a rematch against the Big Show in a regular match after winning the title in a tables match at Extreme Rules. Show charged at Rhodes at the sound of the opening bell, but just as he was going for the WMD, Rhodes bailed out of the ring and ran up the entrance ramp with his title belt in tow. Show won the match but could not regain the championship as it could chance hands only via pin-fall or submission. After the match, Eve Torres made her way to the ring and made Big Show issue a public apology for making fun of John Lauranitis's voice. The World's Largest Athlete seemed to refuse at first, but the prospect of losing his job made him relent.

This week's SmackDown opened with a rematch from Extreme Rules as World Heavyweight Champion Sheamus faced Daniel Bryan, albeit in a non-title match. Bryan tripped Sheamus over the ropes during his entrance and went for the Yes Lock, but Sheamus countered, slamming Bryan to the mat. Bryan attacked Sheamus' arm yet again and went for a hammer-lock, but HSeamus broke free with punches to the gut. Sheamus fired up, smashing Bryan's head on the turnbuckle and following up with a clothesline and a knee-lift. But suddenly Alberto Del Rio and Ricardo Rodriguez showed up, with Rodriguez hitting a flying cross-body and Del Rio locked in the cross arm-breaker, getting Bryan disqualified, even though it didn't stop him from locking in the Yes Lock until referees had to run in and break him and Sheamus up.

The new tag team champions R-Truth and Kofi Kingston were in action in a non-title match against the team of Hunico and Camacho, as Abraham Washington and Rosa Mendes looked on with the former champions Primo and Epico. The Mexicans double-teamed on Kingston in the early goings of the match with Camacho getting the first near-fall with a side suplex and a leg-drop. Hunico slammed Kingston's head on the top turnbuckle several times and hit a high mule kick. Kingston managed to tag R-Truth, who smacked Camacho in the head and hit the Lie Detector but Hunico broke up the pin. Kingston threw Hunico out of the ring as Truth hit the Little Jimmy on Camacho for the win.

The first Raw post Extreme Rules started off as 'Monday Night Raw starring Brock Lesnar' in accordance with the absurd demands made by Lesnar last week on Raw, to which General Manager John Lauranitis had agreed rather reluctantly. Lauranitis started off the show by demanding that everyone thank him for 'revolutionizing WWE in one night' by signing Brock Lesnar. Lesnar himself came out looking super-confident, as he promised to unleash pain on more superstars like he had done to John Cena at Extreme Rules.

At this point, Lesnar was interrupted by none other than the Chief Operating Officer of the WWE, Triple H. The Game made it clear to Lesnar that none of the fancy terms decided by him and Lauranitis would be in effect, as he tore up the contract they had signed last week. Lauranitis kept trying to interrupt the COO while he made it clear to Lesnar who the boss of the industry was, but when Triple H turned his back on Lesnar to tell Lauranitis to shut up for good, the powerhouse assaulted Triple H from behind and took him down with vicious right hands. The Game came back with rights of his own and backed Lesnar in a corner, but Lesnar blasted him with a knee to the gut and hyperextended Triple H's arm with the Kimura lock.

On the one night of the year that the WWE went totally extreme, the WWE Universe was treated to three hours of jaw-dropping action and some remarkably violent moments. Here is what transpired in one of the most brutal Pay-Per-View events of recent times:

1. John Cena def. Brock Lesnar (Extreme Rules Match):

Fresh from his loss to the Rock at WrestleMania, John Cena had a lot to prove as he stepped into the ring against Brock Lesnar, and he did succeed as he left the arena with his hand raised in victory. The victory, however, did not come easy, as the powerhouse brought utter destruction on his adversary in a manner which was unseen in the WWE for quite some time.
