After The Match: The Viper Strikes
After being DQ’d, Orton goes ballistic and attacks Rhodes. He hits him repeatedly with his own face mask. Orton hits Rhodes with the middle-rope draped DDT move. Two referees try and get Orton to stop. Orton picks Rhodes up and throws him out of the ring. Orton follows him out. Orton hits Rhodes with an RKO on top of the announce table. As expected, Rhodes being busted open and bleeding is heavily edited as expected. After the RKO all we really see is Orton, kind of covered in blood on his body, walking away.
Backstage: Christian and Sheamus
Backstage, Christian approaches Sheamus in his locker room. Christian gives Sheamus a potato as a peace offering. Christian tells Sheamus when he wins back the title, he’ll give Sheamus the first shot at it. Christian then does his routine to try and get Sheamus to help him in the LumberJack match. Sheamus mockingly tells him he will help him. Christian thanks him and walks off.
