Randy Orton is in the back with Josh Matthews. Josh wants to know the status of Orton’s shoulder. Orton says anything can happen in a Fatal 4 Way Match. He says that any questions regarding his shoulder will be answered later when he faces Sheamus. Josh asks him about the attacks last week. He says part of him has to respect what they did, but a bigger part of him thinks they’re a bunch of punks. He thinks they either deserved to be fired or to have their brains beaten in. He says that considering that Barrett only got fired, they got off lucky.
Mark Feuerstein is in the back. He tells the Bellas that this Thursday, The Big Show will be guest starring on Royal Pains. He also tells them that he thinks they would be great guest stars because they could be the Hank Med Twins.

He says he’s a little scared of DiBiase. Big Show comes in and Mark tells DiBiase there’s no chance he’ll let him co-guest host. He gets in DiBiase’s face.

John Cena comes out to address the attack by the NXT Rookies last week. He says he was given the night off, but he felt he needed to come out and address this. Cena says there is a portion of him that respects what the Rookies did last week, but their logic was flawed. He says they made every member of the WWE Universe their enemies. He says they also destroyed a WWE Ring, which results in every WWE Superstar wanting their heads on a platter. Cena says firing Wade Barrett will not fix the problem. Cena says he will stand in the ring each and every night and demand they come out and finish it. Cena says that if they finish it, he will not press charges. The Rookies have gotten back into the building and make their way to ringside. They go after Cena, but before they can even reach the ring, Jerry Lawler, Evan Bourne, R-Truth, William Regal and Santino Marella all join Cena in the ring.

The Rookies retreat with the WWE Superstars following closely behind.
In the back, Josh Matthews asks Sheamus why he helped John Cena. Sheamus says if anyone is going to take out John Cena, it will be him.

She takes out Gail in the corner and while the referee is distracted with Gail, she goes for a big kick on Eve, but Eve moves and she hits Maryse instead.

Move of the Match: This has to go to the rolling neckbreaker Eve used to pick up the win.

Show chokeslams Virgil and then points to Mark. Show tags in Mark and Mark performs The Worm on Virgil. He proceeds to cover for the 3 count and the win.
Move of the Match: Show did most of the work, but I’ve got to give this to The Worm, because, while it’s not that powerful, it sure is fun to watch.
After the match, DiBiase pulls out a $100 bill and stuffs it in Virgil’s mouth like his father used to do. DiBiase goes back and takes the $100 bill before he leaves.
Up next is William Regal taking on Santino with Vladimir Kozlov as special guest referee. Santino keeps throwing kicks at Regal, but none of them hit and Regal drops him with a shoulder block. Regal goes after Santino’s arm. He locks in a hammerlock. Santino fights out and rolls Regal up. Kozlov fast counts and Santino celebrates while Regal argues with Kozlov.
Move of the Match: There weren’t too many moves in the match, but Regal’s various moves working on Santino’s arm were all pretty impressive technical work.
After the match, Bret Hart comes out and announces that he wants the entire RAW roster on the stage during tonight’s Main Event to ensure the NXT Rookies won’t interfere.

We see in the back that the NXT Rookies are back and are tearing things up. The have Bret Hart and they put him in a limo which whoever is driving it proceeds to crash it into multiple other vehicles. They pull Hart out he’d better give them their contracts and they want an answer by Sunday. The match never officially ended, but RAW went on the air after that, so I’m assuming the match was a no contest.
Move of the Match: There were a number of good moves, but I’m going to give this to the RKO.
