The show kicked off with Daniel Bryan, the new WWE World Heavyweight Champion after defeating Triple H in a singles match early in the Wrestlemania 30 card and later beating Randy Orton and Batista in a Triple Threat bout in the main event, celebrating his two Sunday night victories. Triple H disrupted the festivities and scheduled Bryan to defend the title against himself in the main event. Orton and Batista came down to the ring, both annoyed they were being bypassed for a title rematch, to complain about the WWE COO abusing his power. Triple H then remedied their problem by scheduling them in a WWE Tag Team title match on Raw.

WWE World Heavyweight Championship match: Daniel Bryan (champion) vs Triple H

Prior to the main event, Stephanie McMahon was backstage with Kane and The Shield, ordering The Shield to put their differences aside with the WWE Director of Operations and to cost Daniel Bryan the title at all cost, telling "the Hounds of Justice" that the champion is an injustice to the company. Before the match started, Batista and Randy Orton attacked Bryan, setting him for Kane, who choked-slammed the newly minted champion. Triple H's music hits, demanding that the referee ring the bell for the match to start, looking to win the title from his worn-out opponent before The Shield came through the crowd to settle their problem with Kane. Kane, Orton, and Batista were ready to rumble with The Shield, but Triple H demanded all parties stand down until the match was over and he won the title. However, The Shield instead cleared the ring of The Authority, with the champion Bryan hitting Triple H with Flying Knee to end the show.
