Did anyone really expect this to happen?

The Gauntlet match for the prestigious Tuwaiq Trophy saw R-Truth kick things off with the man he faced on RAW earlier this week, Bobby Lashley.

Fans expected Truth to suffer the same fate as he did on Monday Night, but instead, the former United States Champion came into the match with new energy.

He survived some big blows from Lashley and finally put him away with a roll-up, picking up the first elimination of the match. However, Lashley handed a beatdown to Truth before leaving the arena.

Andrade arrived next to battle Truth and the veteran was again lucky as he got a pinfall over the current United States Champion by fluke.

Rowan entered next and tried to get rid of Truth, but his emotions led him to go overboard, leading to a disqualification. He too thrashed Truth on his way out.

Finally, AJ Styles was able to dispose Truth after a sensational performance. Next up was Rey Mysterio who was attacked by The O.C. backstage and could not make it to the ring.

However, The Undertaker appeared to lay down The O.C. and then arrived into the arena to Chokeslam Styles and win the Tuwaiq Trophy to the utter surprise of the entire WWE Universe.

This was a good way to bring in The Phenom and have him do the least bit to pick up the trophy and also possibly book his next rivalry for WrestleMania.

Will The Phenomenal One be the man who will retire The Phenom?
