We got another cryptic promo from Uncle Howdy talking about last week when The Wyatt Sicks had their debut. He said that 'something big was happening' and that 'the work wasn't done.' He seemed to insinuate that The Fiend was there and kept repeating, 'My life, for you...' before the video cut off.

Randy Orton was out next and said that he was looking forward to becoming a 15-time World Heavyweight Champion. Gunther interrupted him and admitted that Randy was one of the greatest of all time but added that Orton wasted his unlimited potential.
Randy said that he may have made many mistakes in his career, but he has owned up to it. Orton added that he was the most unpredictable and violent superstar before Gunther said that Randy was very predictable.
The champ predicted that Randy would lose the match since he always screws up when things really matter.
Gunther said that Randy's grandfather and father were both screwups and so was Randy. The Viper was fuming before Drew McIntyre interrupted them, and the distraction allowed Randy to get the RKO on the champ.
Drew was headed to the ring when CM Punk attacked him out of nowhere. Punk was taken down, and McIntyre tried to beat him with a belt, but CM took it away and whipped Drew with it before the latter ran away into the crowd.
