Over the years, the road between brothers Kane and The Undertaker has had many ups and downs. But, are they poised for a volatile final confrontation?
The Undertaker said Kane is "guilty of a treacherous betrayal " and is not worthy of being his brother or carrying the World Heavyweight Championship.
"I taught you everything you know about evil. But I didn't teach you everything I know. So when the mood strikes you, I'll be waiting. And when the fight starts, it's always going to end the same way," The Deadman said.
Despite the ominous warning, The Big Red Monster was not intimidated by his older brother's words.
"Not this time," said Kane. "I know and you know that this time it ends the same way that it did at SummerSlam, with you sprawled helpless at my feet. I vow on the grave of our mother, that you will never rest in peace."

As the action progressed, Swagger was up strong, leading MVP three takedowns to zero. Perhaps frustrated, MVP slapped Swagger, instantly getting himself disqualified. Although Swagger got the win, he wasn't done. After the match, he attacked MVP from behind and punished him with a session in his lethal ankle lock outside of the ring.

After slamming Rey into the ringside barrier, Del Rio locked him a cross armbreaker. Then, just when he appeared finished and was walking up the exit ramp, Del Rio returned for more brutality. First he shoved Mysterio's arm into a steel chair and closed the chair on his arm. Then with his arm still caught in the chair, Del Rio viciously smashed Mysterio into a steel ring post.
