WWE promised a stacked Monday Night RAW this week...and they most certainly delivered.

Not only did Hall of Famer Shawn Michaels appear to give his opinions on the upcoming match between Triple H and The Undertaker at WWE Super Show-Down, but he was interrupted by a returning Deadman for a thrilling war of words.

Chants of "one more match" rang around the Schottenstein Center in Columbus, Ohio as the two legends recalled their epic rivalry which concluded at WrestleMania 26 with Taker retiring HBK.

Michaels had previously backed his old friend The Game to defeat The Undertaker as he had "more left in the tank", stating that the Cerebral Assassin would "cerebrally assassinate" the Deadman. Taker's unmistakeable gong tolled and out he came, stating he took the best that both Shawn and Hunter had, and put them both down.

The Demon of Death Valley claimed that the reason HBK was backing HHH was due to the fact that he had taken the one thing from him that was most important, his career.

Michaels countered with the assertion that he had stayed away because he was a man of his word, unlike others, and due to his respect for The Undertaker. The Deadman's response?

"Is it respect? Or is it fear?"

He concluded that if HBK had ever come out of retirement, it would have been for him, and he would have put him down all over again. That was also the fate that awaited Triple H in Melbourne, Australia.

RAW also saw Dolph Ziggler and Drew McIntyre crowned new RAW tag team champions after they hijacked The Revival's title shot by attacking them backstage, politicking their way into a match thanks to GM Baron Corbin, and defeating The B-Team.

The Bella Twins had a triumphant return to RAW against The Riott Squad, Kevin Owens made a shock return to attack Bobby Lashley, and The Shield had an eventful evening; Reigns, Rollins & Ambrose started the night getting arrested after a mass brawl with Braun Strowman, Dolph Ziggler & Drew McIntyre, and ended it being destroyed by the trio with the help of the entire heel locker room.

The fallout from this, coupled with appearances from Triple H and Mick Foley next week, promises a thrilling go-home RAW ahead of Hell in a Cell.
