The NXT group is now in the ring and Otunga says they did what they did because of their love for WWE. He says they would do anything for their contracts and then gives the mic to Heath Slater. Slater says they have no problems with the locker room and he says they would like to single out a few people to apologize to. Justin Gabriel says they want to apologize to Bret Hart first, and they hope that he is doing OK now. He next says they apologize to the Harts, and they were only defending themselves. Darren Young says they want to apologize to John Cena, and that Cena will get his title back. Skip Sheffield says he is sorry to all of the fans, and tries to get them to yell his catchphrase, but they boo him.
Michael Tarver apologizes to his kids, because he didn’t raise them like that. He says if anyone was in their position they would have done the same thing. Barrett gets the mic and says he was the only one with a job and a title shot, and they stuck together because of their loyalty. Barrett says they had fun on NXT but they agreed to help each other so they didn’t have to worry about WWE messing with their careers. He says their bond will never be broken, and says his contract is reinstated on top of him getting his title shot back. He says Sheamus lucky to have the title, and if they can target Cena they can make one out of Sheamus too. Barrett says it doesn’t matter who he has to beat, because he will become WWE Champion, and he won’t make any apologies for that.
John Morrison (w Eli Cottonwood) vs Ted DiBiase (w Maryse) Zack Ryder (w/ Titus O’Neil)
Ted comes out and says he knows they had a match scheduled, but he nods at Maryse and says he has better things to do. He tells Morrison not to worry because he found him a replacement, and introduces Zack Ryder.
Ryder starts by shoving Morrison and then punches him near the ropes. Morrison slides under Ryder and hits a dropkick, then tries to springboard off the ropes, but Ryder shoves him off. Ryder punches away at him in the corner and slingshots Morrison neck first into the middle rope. Ryder stays on offense and hits a jumping knee drop and then keeps Morrison on the ground in a headlock. Morrison hits a jawbreaker and a kick to the temple to fight out, and both men are down on the ground. Morrison tries kicking Ryder but he moves out of the ring, and gets powerbombed when he comes back in. Morrison hits Starship Pain and gets the pinfall, and then celebrates with his rookie.
Winner – John Morrison
