Teddy Long starts things off by saying it’s his pleasure to announce John Laurinaitis has been fired, and Mick Foley is the guest GM. Big Show cuts him off and goes to the ring, and he says he doesn’t care that Johnny got fired because he didn’t care about him. He says he doesn’t care about the fans, and he only cares about his real self, then he congratulates John Cena for winning. Show says he needed help, but Cena won, and he knows he would crush Cena one-on-one. The fans boo and he says they know it’s true, but he says he is done with Cena and he is putting his name into the Money In The Bank match. Show says there is no man or thing who can beat him, and when he becomes champion it will be as long as he wants. Show says he isn’t doing it for the locker room or the fans, because he is winning for himself and that championship is all his.
Brodus Clay skips his intro and heads straight to the ring, then he tells the Funkadactyls to move while he slides in the ring. Show kicks him as he enters but Brodus responds with a running headbutt, then he punches him in the corner until David Otunga comes out and hits Brodus in his injured knee. Show gets up and kicks him in the leg a few times, then he picks Brodus up and knocks him out while Otunga smiles at ringside. Otunga taunts Brodus while Show leaves, and he says he is going to head to the locker room and call his momma. He says Brodus has fallen and he can’t get up, and he tells the Funkadactyls he will show them how it’s done. Otunga proceeds to dance (horribly) to Brodus’ theme song, then he flexes while Cameron and Naomi watch from ringside.
Ryback vs Frank Venezia & Jared Wachtler
Typical prematch promo where these guys talk about themselves being stars rising like the temperature is. Ryback comes out and gets surrounded, but he scares Venezia away and throws Wachtler into him. He whips Venezia into the corner, then he catches Wachtler in mid air and powerbombs him into the corner. Ryback slams them down again and powerbombs Venezia onto Wachtler, then he hits the double Muscle Buster for the win.
Winner – Ryback
