Bryan says that he should still be the WWE Champion. Vickie calls Bryan a liar. She says that Triple H might have promised him a match at Battleground, but she would have fired Bryan. She hopes that Bryan does not become the face of the WWE. Bryan says that the people should be glad that Vickie does not have any power. Vickie mentions that ten people came to the ring to help him. These people will be eliminated tonight. Vickie shows us who the ten men who will be suffering a similar fate as Daniel Bryan.

Randy has a mic and he says at Night of Champions, Daniel Bryan and Scott Armstrong conspired to take the WWE Title from him and they succeeded. With a lightning fast three count, the title was taken away from him. Randy says that it was his fault.

Randy says that he never should have been in that position. For the last two years, he has been suppressing who he is down inside because of the people. He went to Anger Management and he locked away the viper that was void of morality. He did it because he thought that was everything the people wanted. On Monday night, Triple H and Stephanie showed him what he should be. Orton says that he ripped that door open and that is why he made an example of the Miz in his home town of Cleveland. He did it so everyone would know who he really and truly is. Randy tells everyone that is a warning for anyone who tries to get in his path. There is no champion right now and there is nothing he can do about it. He is not looking to win. He is looking to annihilate. He says that it will be scorched Earth. He will end it once and for good. He promises that he will be your . . . not your. He will be his WWE Champion.
