Backstage Interview: Renee is alongside A J Styles, and with his arrival to the WWE coming back in November, with his arrival came lofty expectations, but is it fair to say that those expectations have so far failed to materialise.
A J responds that no he hasn't fulfilled his ambitions, he came to the WWE to be a World Champion, but he allowed miniscule things to get in his way, however from today, he gets back on track, because he IS Phenomenal, and he WILL be a World Champion again...................

he grabs a mic, but one word into his promo, out comes Cody Rhodes with a mic, entering the ring, he then suddenly throws down the mic and sucker punches Miz...........Miz retaliates and they tumble through the ropes to the ground.............Security then rush down and struggle to pull them apart......................
Commentary: As Security eventually seperate Rhodes and Miz, it's time for the Main Event.........however before that can occur we're taken backstage where Melina is found unconscious with the camera just catching Brie Bella exiting the scene...............
shortly afterwards Nikki Bella appears on the scene seemingly oblivious that Brie was in the building.

Mid Match: Triple H decides he's had enough, exits the ring and starts toward the entrance, waiving the match off, the referee starts the 10 Count,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,and then from the crowd comes Wade Barrett, taking the United States Title he gets in the ring and hits Ryback on the back of his skull with it...............
with Ryback down, Magnus & Doug Williams join the attack, which ends with Wade Barrett delivering a number of chair shots to Rybacks legs..................before standing triumphantly over Ryback.
