Reminder, I do not rate matches that are under three minutes long…

-JBL and Josh Matthews are our announcers.

-It is SCIENCE TIME, as we will find out which was more powerful, Big Show’s KO punch or Sheamus’ Brogue kick. We have some sports science center set up, and Show and Sheamus get introduced. The equipment will measure their force per square inch of the brogue kick and the KO punch. Big Show refuses the challenge at first, but insists that his punches are strong. Sheamus does his deal and the brogue kick is measured at 1322, which they claim is twice that of a heavyweight boxer’s punch. Show continues to refuse to take the test, and Sheamus says not to worry, because proving the Brogue kick was stronger still wouldn’t be as embarrassing as his last title reign. Oh shit it on now son, Show punches and scores 1809. Show tells Sheamus that he will see him at Hell in a Cell. Tensai attacks Sheamus, and that’s going to lead to our first match…

As Tensai makes his entrance, Sheamus attacks him on the floor. They brawl and Tensai slams Tensai into the post. Into the ring they go and the match is officially started.

-Dolph tries to attack Kane, but eats an uppercut. Daniel Bryan hit the ring, and claimed to save Kane. Kane did not approve, they argued, and then Matt Striker decided it was time for an interview. He asked if their arguing would cost them the titles at Hell in a Cell. They stopped arguing, but didn’t answer.

-TOUTS are shown.

-Ricardo is in the back with Del Rio. They both get scared by Daniel Bryan’s shadow. Del Rio said everyone knew Bryan only had the tag title because of Kane.

-Del Rio then claims that social media lied to everyone, and that Randy Orton wouldn’t be here tonight. We then see footage of Del Rio beating down Orton from a few weeks ago as well as Orton losing to Show on Smackdown. He said he was the new apex predator, and that Orton was simply a slimy garden snake. He adds that if Orton was actually here that he would take care of him, and then posed like Orton. Del Rio did the big flop down like Orton before an RKO, only to find he was lying down face to face with Orton. Ass whooping time for Del Rio. Ricardo makes the save before Orton can do too much damage. Orton then RKO’d Rodriguez on the announcer’s table as Del Rio ran away up the ramp. The table no sold the RKO, must have been made in Japan.

-End Scene.
