-Rhodes, DiBiase and the new Samoan talk as Randy Orton arrives. This is MANU, son of Afa of the wild Samoans. Manu says not to nock the tag team champions because they are in a different class. Orton says what they did took skill, but the win was all luck. Cryme Tyme learned on the streets, but they have all of the ability. Why should you be proud? Keep telling yourselves how you think you accomplished something. Luck runs out, ability lives on, trust him on that. He is NOT impressed at all.
