Summary . The Road to WrestleMania raged on as the united Hounds of Justice made a profound statement of rebellion in a main event clash between Kane and Big Show ; Bray Wyatt ripped through Kofi Kingston en route to John Cena ; and Triple H responded to the Occupation of Raw . After explaining that he had given Daniel Bryan the night off and promising instead to deal with him on Raw , WWE COO Triple H mocked the WWE Universe for helping his adversary occupy Raw Monday night – a stunt that forced The King of Kings into a WrestleMania match against the scruffy Superstar . If Bryan wins that showdown , he will earn the right to face Randy Orton and Batista in a Triple Threat Match for the WWE World Heavyweight Title . The Cerebral Assassin informed the fans that rather than help to cultivate The Beard for years to come , he would personally bury Daniel Bryan and the “ Yes ! ” Movement at The Show of Shows – along with the hopes and dreams of those who cheered for him . Triple H then called out Damien Sandow . After apologizing to the COO for not being able to follow his orders to get in the ring during Bryan ’ s occupation , The Intellectual Savior of the Masses was forced – supposedly in a match set up by SmackDown General Manager Vickie Guerrero – to face a member of The Shield . That Superstar would be Seth Rollins . With his fellow Shield members firmly united in his corner , Seth Rollins took on Damien Sandow . Using a distraction by the flanking Hounds of Justice to help triumph over the “ Enlightened One , ” Rollins stomped his opponent into the canvas for the three - count . Then , after the bell , the ironclad trio further demonstrated their renewed unity , delivering a fierce post - match assault on Sandow that ended with a Triple Power Bomb . n a match between two entrants in the first - ever 30 - man over - the - top - rope Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal at WrestleMania 30 , Intercontinental Champion Big E emerged victorious over a battle - tested Fandango with the Big Ending . Watch as Bad News Barrett dishes out a new dose of decorum - fused “ cheer ” on The Road to WrestleMania . With The Real Americans openly arguing over tagging themselves into the match , a war - torn Cody Rhodes managed to steal the quick pin on Jack Swagger . With Goldust already knocked down , the professors of “ We the People ! ” finally got on the same page and attacked Rhodes after the match . . But that ended quickly when WWE Tag Team Champions The Usos stormed the ring and caused the attackers to make a hasty retreat . With his sights set on a WrestleMania clash against John Cena , Bray Wyatt punished the high - flying Kofi Kingston on SmackDown , soundly defeating him with Sister Abigail . The Divas division is on fire of late . On Raw Monday night , Nikki Bella pinned Divas Champion AJ Lee in tag team action . Then , Tuesday on WWE Main Event – LIVE on WWE Network – AJ defeated Natalya . And on SmackDown , Nikki would battle Tamina . Two days before the season premiere of “ Total Divas ” on the E ! Network , a Brie attack on AJ outside the ring incited Tamina to hurl the Bella beauty into the ringside barricade . But , back in the ring just moments later , Nikki lifted Tamina on her shoulders and delivered a backbreaker for the huge win . In an extremely hard - fought match by both gifted grapplers , the resilient Dolph Ziggler ultimately countered Alberto Del Rio ’ s Cross Armbreaker to hit the Zig Zag for the victory . The Showoff then declared that he will compete in the first - ever 30 - man over - the - top - rope Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal and finally have his WrestleMania moment ! An international sensation will take his rightful place among the elite of WWE . Prior to his match against Big Show , Corporate Kane ordered The Shield to be at ringside . Though they made it clear they didn ’ t take orders from the Director of Operations , The Hounds also said that , in the end , they always do what is best for business . In the midst of the colossal SmackDown main event that followed , The Shield did come to the ring . However , when Kane ordered them to attack The World ’ s Largest Athlete in the height of the action , they would not comply . Moments later , Big Show delivered a chokeslam that finished off the corporate combatant . As the smoke cleared , a seething Kane grabbed Seth Rollins and dragged him into the ring . But as he raised Rollins into the air to attempt his own chokeslam , Roman Reigns blasted the corporate entity with an earth - shattering Spear .
