However, the champion wasn’t given the night off. Instead, The Rock was put in a Steel Cage match against Shane for the WWE Championship!
Gerald Brisco and Pat Patterson were named as the special guest referees for the match, while Triple H, Stephanie and Mr McMahon were at ringside. In the main event, Shane almost had the match won, but The Rock managed to drag him back into the ring. Earl Hebner then ran down, much to the chagrin of Mr McMahon!
Earl’s interference led to The Rock climbing out of the cage, to retain the WWE title. The May 1st edition of RAW drew in the second highest overall rating in RAW history - a whopping 7.4!
