CAGED DESTRUCTION!
Brock Lesnar and Mr. McMahon were supposed to be
enemies. They were supposed to settle their score in a cage match at SmackDown!.
Much to everyone’s surprise, however, they conspired to give WWE Champion Kurt
Angle one of the worst beatings of his life.
The cage match between Mr. McMahon and Lesnar did happen, but it ended
differently than anyone could have imagined.
Early in the evening, it looked as if the match would not take place as Brock
Lesnar was discovered unconscious in the back. At the time, no one knew what
happened, but it seemed as if Lesnar would not be able to wrestle.
He did recover, however, and his match against Mr. McMahon with Angle as the
special referee went off without a hitch. Both men slugged it out for a while
before Lesnar prepared to finish Mr. McMahon off with an F-5. As he had him over
his shoulders, though, he appeared to pass out and crumpled to the canvas. Mr.
McMahon covered Lesnar for the pin, but Angle refused to count, instead calling
for help from the back. With Angle’s back turned, Lesnar sprang to his feet and
F-5’d the WWE Champion. Then he proceeded to beat him senseless, telling Angle
all the while that the WWE Championship belongs to him.
Also on SmackDown!, John Cena gained a measure of revenge against Undertaker by
beating him in a hard fought match. The ending was not without controversy,
though. Albert interfered during the match, laying the Deadman out with a
vicious kick to the chops.
