After the match, Dolph Ziggler celebrates with AJ Lee and Big E Langston as the live crowd is on their feet. Biggest reaction of the night, by far.
The Undertaker makes his way out to the ring, and gets a giant reaction from the Izod Center. He says he dedicated his match last night to the memory of Paul Bearer – "Sierra. Hotel. India. Echo. Lima. Delta. SHIELD". The three make their way down to ringside and surround The Deadman. Kane and Daniel Bryan sprint down to the ring, and the crowd goes absolutely nuts with "YES!" chants. The Deadman and his new-found partners back down The Shield, who retreats through the crowd.
After a commercial break they run a replay of Ziggler winning the World title earlier tonight. Ziggler is interviewed by Josh Matthews and says that nobody in history has deserved the title more than him. He says he's going to take it home, shine it up, and show it off. It's about damn time.
