Cena then made his full comeback and put DiBiase in position for the STF center ring. DiBiase nearly tapped, but Randy Orton slithered in and out of the ring to distract Cena. Cody then snuck up behind DiBiase and rolled him up with a small package to win the match.
Post-match: Orton had to keep Cody and Ted away from each other while Cena was all-smiles leaving the ring. Things were about to explode, but Nancy O’Dell appeared on the videotron to settle them down. She said since it’s obvious Cody and Ted aren’t getting along right now, let’s see how they really get along in a tag match later tonight. How about Cody & Ted against Orton…and John Cena. Cena went from all-smiles to his look of concern. Meanwhile, Orton tried to calm Ted and Cody down.
WINNER: Cody Rhodes at 13:20
Backstage: Cody and Ted were yelling at each other. DiBiase’s veins were about to explode out of his neck. Orton interrupted and told them he’s not going to let Nancy O’Dell tell them what to do. He said he’s going to turn this into a handicap match and not tag in. He told them to make sure they take care of Cena. Cody and Ted still weren’t on the same page, but Orton told them to think things over. Good follow-up segment to continue investing TV time in Cody and Ted.
WWE champion RANDY ORTON & JOHN CENA vs. TED DIBIASE, JR. & CODY RHODES
The bell sounded as Orton bailed to the floor to watch Cena start the match by himself. Cody and Ted couldn’t decide who should start, then DiBiase drew the shortest straw to start. Legacy worked over Cena early on as Orton pondered things from the ring apron just watching and plotting. Cena broke free of Cody, then Orton lost track of things for a second allowing Cena to make a blind-tag to Orton. Orton slowly walked into the ring after realizing his mistake. They locked up and Cody tried to pin Orton with a surprise pin attempt that drew hearty laughter from Cena on the floor. DiBiase then tagged in and nearly scored a pin. Orton then walked over to Cena and slap-tagged him back into the match. Cena and Orton grunted at each other and teased going after each other before Cena went after DiBiase. Cena did his usual routine and dropped the Five Knuckle Shuffle, but Orton had blind-tagged into the match. Orton then blasted his tag partner, Cena, but DiBiase suddenly snuck up behind Orton and small package pinned Orton for the win. Cody was confused. Orton was livid. Orton then walked into Cena, who gave him an FU in center ring. Cole: “A terrible night for the WWE champion, Randy Orton.” Cena pounded his chest in the corner and celebrated in the ring to close the show.
WINNERS: DiBiase & Rhodes at 6:10.
