Last Man Standing Match
Cody Rhodes vs. Randy Orton
Cody Rhodes and Randy Orton immediately exchanged punches before Orton gained control with kicks and forearms. Cody avoided a shoulder charge, sending Orton into the ring post, and followed him outside with a suicide dive into the barricade.
Orton turned the match around by driving Rhodes into the steel steps and repeatedly delivering back suplexes onto the announce table. He eventually positioned part of the table against it and sent Cody crashing through it with another suplex, but Rhodes answered the referee’s count.
The fight moved into the crowd, where Orton struck Cody with a trash can and its lid. Rhodes eventually sent Orton over the barricade but walked directly into a kendo-stick shot. Orton delivered several more strikes before Cody took possession of the weapon, unloaded on The Viper and clotheslined him over the ropes.
They fought up the entrance ramp and onto the stage, where Cody sent Orton into the set before retrieving a trash can and table. Orton used a thumb to the eye to stop Cody, then powerbombed him through the table. Cody narrowly beat the ensuing ten-count.
Back inside the ring, Cody connected with an IEDDT before Orton stopped him on the top rope and delivered a massive superplex. Orton followed with clotheslines, a powerslam and his own IEDDT, but Cody blocked an attempted RKO with a thumb to the eye.
Rhodes fought back with running forearms, a powerslam and the Cody Cutter. He attempted the Bionic Elbow, but Orton caught him with an RKO. Cody again returned to his feet before the referee reached ten.
Outside the ring, Orton attempted to strike Cody with the steel steps but missed and hit the ring post. Rhodes used the steps against Orton before placing him across the announce table and setting up a ladder.
Cody climbed to the top and attempted a frog splash, but Orton moved and Rhodes crashed through the announce table. Both men managed to beat the referee’s count, although Cody collapsed onto the remains of the table.
Orton dragged Cody toward the ring and prepared for the punt, but Rhodes avoided it and connected with a springboard Cody Cutter. He followed with three consecutive Cross Rhodes, with Orton’s head striking the edge of the steel steps during the sequence and leaving him bleeding.
Rhodes stopped referee Charles Robinson from beginning the count and waited as Orton struggled to stand. Cody then backed into the corner and delivered a punt kick of his own. The bloodied Orton could not answer the ten-count, giving Rhodes the victory.
The crowd booed the finish as Cody appeared conflicted over his actions.
