Paul Heyman popped up in a backstage segment on Monday Night Raw this week for a special announcement. This Sunday at Survivor Series, the WWE Championship match between Brock Lesnar and Rey Mysterio will be a No Holds Barred match. Heyman went through the story between Lesnar and Mysterio, which started back in late September when Lesnar brutally attacked both Rey Mysterio and his son Dominick on an episode of Raw. He then won the WWE Championship in mere seconds on SmackDown’s FOX premiere, only for Mysterio to send him scurrying by bringing out former UFC Heavyweight Champion Cain Velasquez.

 

Lesnar beat Velasquez in just two mintues in a title match at Crown Jewel, but Mysterio managed to send “The Beast” running once again by attacking him with weapons after the match. The world champ then decided that in order to get revenge on Mysterio he needed to quit SmackDown and join the Raw roster, effectively swapping the show’s two world championships. On his first night back on Raw Lesnar searched the arena for Mysterio and drove commentator Dio Maddin through a table before getting attacked from behind by a pipe-swinging Mysterio. Heyman said Lesnar is completely healthy for the match, even though he hasn’t been on WWE television since.
