Raw Results for 4/30/2012.

Justin Roberts introduces us to Monday Night RAW: Starring Brock Lesnar. John Laurinaitis' music hits and he makes his way down to the ring. He introduces himself to the crowd and says that in one night he revolutionized the WWE. He did it for the fans and people power. John claims that each and every fan should thank him for bringing the destructive force that is Brock Lesnar back to the company. He claims that Cena was beat up so bad that he will never again be the same man. Laurinaitis asserts that Lesnar legitimized the WWE.

Lesnar's music hits and he makes his way down to the ring. Lesnar has a mic and receives a mixed reaction. He says that last night the world got to witness firsthand as he brought the pain. Lesnar did exactly what he told the world that he was going to do. Laurinaitis agrees and starts to tell him that that is why he is the face of the WWE.

HHH's music hits! The Chief Operating Officer of the WWE appears and saunters down to the ring. HHH shakes the hands of both men in the ring.

Trips says that Brock's days of holding up the WWE are through. The private jet that he flew here on will not be taking him back home unless Lesnar pays for it. The same goes for the limo he took to the arena. Lesnar will not be getting any special treatment, no pay raise, and especially not a name change for the show.

HHH says that Lesnar will have everything that was in his original contract, but not the added stipulations from last week. HHH says he will not approve last week's additions. Laurinaitis says that he did the contract in the fairness of the WWE, it isn't right that he go back on his word. HHH takes the contract from John and tears it up. Trips says that John knew he didn't have the authority to make those changes, and he won't approve it. He says that Lesnar is a businessman which is why Brock knows that the changes from last week will not hold up. HHH says that he wants Brock in the WWE, as does the WWE Universe. They might not all like him, but it doesn't matter because they want to see him. They want to see a rematch with John Cena, they want to see him face CM Punk, Orton, Sheamus and others. HHH tells Brock that if he doesn't want to do this, he understands.

HHH tells Lesnar to forget Laurinaitis because this is between the two of them. The original terms were fair, so will he agree? Laurinaitis tries to provide input, but HHH tells him to shut up. The crowd roars their approval. HHH says that he wants Brock here. John says that Hunter is being disrespectful. HHH turns to address John, but Lesnar attacks him from behind! HHH starts to fight back, but Lesnar catches him in a Kimora clutch! Big Show, R-Truth, Kofi Kingston & Sheamus run down to the ring to make the save.
