King runs to ringside and throws Swagger over the barricade and runs towards the Cole Mine. Lawler tries to open the door but Cole locks it, so King picks up an announcer’s chair and throws it in the Cole Mine and traps Cole in a corner. He reaches through one of the holes in the plexiglass and grabs Cole’s tie. He pulls it through and repeatedly smashes Cole’s face off the glass by pulling the tie back and forth.
Refs finally pull him away (after twenty or so shots) and Cole falls to the ground. Swagger comes to and checks on Cole then starts screaming that he is fired. King gets a mic and says he only grabbed his tie, and Swagger says he just put Cole in the Hall of Fame. Swagger accepts King’s challenge on behalf of Cole, and helps Cole up the ramp and tells him he will be OK.
