Miz opens us up with Miz TV but Orton comes out and he is pissed. He says he agreed to tonight’s match tonight so that he could get his hands on Drew. This is a setup. He remembers when they tossed Miz out of the locker room, and Randy never wanted them to get back in. Morrison took his ball went home and wrestled for the minor leagues.

Morrison says he is a legend and Miz says to stop making it about Orton. Miz wants New Day as guests because if things go according to plan, and they win tonight, then they may be in line for the tag team titles.
New Day is out, and Woods hears those talking about a briefcase and possibly beating New Day for their titles. Woods find this laughable. They insult the men in the ring in Spanish, complete with Jajajajas.
They are here to laugh at Ortin, Miz, and Morrison in person.
Orton has had enough. He RKOs Kofi and Miz and Morrison attack Woods.
Drew’s music hits and Orton clears the ring of all debris. Drew and Orton with the rights!!! Miz has the case! He smacks Drew across the back with it. Miz and Morrison toss Drew into an RKO by Orton.
