A preview of media rounds that Cena has made and a spotlight on his rise bores me, so I go to take a piss.

It appears we are having a tag team match with matching Heel Divas vs unmatching Face Divas.

In the back, Zack Ryder is in a back brace and wheelchair. Johnny Ace is there to welcome him to his own dressing room with a TV and food. If there is anything that Ryder needs, just let him know and he'll get it. Here's Eve, fresh off her win. She says that Johnny has done enough. As far as she is concerned, he's vindictive, pompous and ugly. Ok, she didn't say ugly. She hopes he's fired tomorrow. He mockingly calls it gratitude. Eve calls him an ass then gets pushing duty for Ryder.

Cena picks up a huge light and nails Kane with it. Cena with a right, and they're near the top ramp, now. Kane and Cena, fighting near the techs. In the back now, and Kane hits an uppercut to Cena. Kane yells for Cena to give it up...Cena comes back with some kicks and sends Kane into some trash cans. The trash don't phase Kane none! He grabs a chair and gets a gut check into Cena. Kane wails on the back of Cena a couple of times then tosses the chair aside and we see the door to Zack Ryder's dressing room...Kane kicks the door in, literally and Ryder is in the chair. He tries to kick Kane but Kane just muzzles him with his hand, and it appears that's enough to daze him....is it laced with fuckin ether? Kane rolls Ryder out of the room and it looks like he's heading to the outside.

Near the end of the ramp, Kane just pushes foreward, sending Ryder to the floor. He lifts him up by his backbrace and rolls him into the ring. Kane toys with him and here comes Eve....what the hell? Eve pleads for Kane to stop. She's begging...on her knees (giggity). Kane looks to Tombstone Ryder. He looks at Eve, grins, and we get a Tombstone! Ryder is laid out as Eve cries. Kane stands and looks towards Eve, but here's Cena! He runs in and hits Kane in the gut then tries to lift him up for the AA but cant! Kane with a chokeslam!!!

Kane leaves as Ryder gets the stretcher job and Cena is resting aside the ropes. The announcers get the "Super Low Voice of Seriousness" as Eve works on her Emmy. She looks back at Cena with an accusing face.

We get a hype of The Rock's upcoming projects and his wrestling history intertwined.

Splash into the corner, he hits the ropes, What the Funk and the pin for 1...2...3!!!!
Winner: Brodus Clay (* - mostly because of the dancing)
