Paul Heyman and Brock Lesnar entered the ring with the agent saying that some people had forecasted that this would be the summer of Rob Van Dam. But Heyman promised that Lesnar would take control all the way through SummerSlam, where he would become the WWE Champion. In addition to having ruthless aggression, Heyman said that Brock has intelligence. He said that Brock can outmuscle any man and out do any man. He cited Kurt Angle issuing a challenge to everyone in the locker room last week on SmackDown! Heyman boasted that Brock can outdo anyone, so he issued his own challenge for anyone to come down and face the Next Big Thing. Ric Flair accepted, and came to the ring in a glittering robe!
Flair said he had not forgotten about Brock's interference in the match he lost to Vince McMahon several weeks ago. Flair said he's a legend, and that night Brock would discover why Flair is the dirtiest player in the game. Brock sauntered up to Flair's face and said he is in the wrong place in the wrong year with the wrong guy.
The Nature Boy shed his robe and the match got underway. Brock overpowered Flair with a powerslam that took the air out of the 16-time World Champion. Flair tried to mount some offense, but none of his tactics had any effect. Flair dropped a knee onto Brock's head and went for the cover, but Brock tossed him several feet into the air with ease. Flair held his own for quite some time, but a spinebuster caused him to rise to his knees to plead for mercy. But when Brock came closer, Flair smashed him with a low blow. A second one came as Heyman leapt to the ring apron to protest. Flair took Brock and put him in the Figure Four, but again Heyman jumped up and began screaming. Flair headed over to strike Heyman, but was quickly whirled into the F5 and pinned by Brock!
Coach found Jackie Gayda backstage and said he thought she should have won the thong-a-thon last week. Jackie said she didn't lose, she just didn't win. And in reality, she didn't lose her tag team match last week, it was the fault of her teammate, Molly Holly. Molly came in and said if she spent less time parading around in her underwear, she'd be a better competitor. Jackie retorted that at least she looks good in her underwear, which earned her a slap to the face! The two women began brawling so fiercely that they made their way to the ring. Molly picked Jackie apart and went to leave, but was blindsided by Trish Stratus! Trish shoved Molly into the ring and smacked her around, then pulled down her pants to reveal a pair of granny panties! The Women's Champion scurried to cover up.
