Heyman rolls in yelling, “You tapped him out!”
The referee yells at ringside saying the match isn’t over. Taker with a low blow on Lesnar. Taker gets Lesnar in the Hell’s Gate again. Taker is wrenching it in hard. Lesnar flips off Taker while in the Hell’s Gate. Taker pulls down more. Lesnar passes out. The bell rings.
Winner: The Undertaker
After the match, we see a replay of Brock Lesnar applying the kimura lock and we can clearly see The Undertaker tapping out. The referee missed it. This allowed the match to continue to setup the low blow/Hell’s Gate finish.
Paul Heyman runs down and yells, “No, no, no, no, no!” Heyman said the true winner by tapout submission, the beast, the conqueror, BROCK LESNAR!
The show ends with that…
