Michaels said the legends wanted to even the odds against Orton. McIntyre said he welcomes anyone who wants to beat up Orton. Backstage, Orton said he hopes he’s enjoying this moment because the success will not last. “You have no idea what hell is, but you will,” said Orton. The Viper said he won’t stop until he wins the championship. Orton said he’ll be given a title match, and he doesn’t have to beg. The Viper said there’s a price for crossing him. Orton grabbed his suitcase and left the building. McIntyre said he felt like putting the title on the line in an open challenge to anyone who hasn’t faced him.

Roode took the fight to McIntyre and targeted his leg. McIntyre overpowered Roode and hit a reverse Alabama slam onto the apron. The champion threw Roode off the top rope, but Ziggler pulled Roode out of the ring. McIntyre attacked Ziggler, but Roode capitalized by dropping McIntyre with a chop block. He slammed McIntyre’s legs into the ring post. Roode then slammed the champion’s leg on the broadcast table.
