-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.

-Jeff and HHH shake after the match.
-Todd is with HBK backstage. HBK says that was the first PPV in three months that he hasn't been sent to the hospital. He will clean up, pack up and go home. He will get in bed with his wife, play with his kids in the morning and they will know what happened here tonight. He is content with what he did, but there is no closure. If he had a choice, he would do what he did to Jericho tonight every night for the rest of his life. He has awoke something that he cannot control. As for Jericho, the worst is definitely yet to come. He smiles.
-Eve is with CM Punk. Orton stops his promo and says Punk is a fluke. Punk calls him an injured ex-champion. Punk asks if he is 100%, and Orton says no, but they will continue their conversation.
