The Shield backstage
The Shield again talked about Evolution, specifically Triple H, and their apparent need to hide behind their lackeys. Rollins admitted to making a few mistakes in his last match with Batista a few weeks ago, but said that won’t happen tonight. I think that’s what they said, I was heavily distracted by Roman Reigns’ eye.
Alberto Del Rio pre-taped promo/Alberto Del Rio vs. Rob Van Dam in a Beat The Clock Challenge to determine the #1 Contender for the Intercontinental Championship
WWE.com
Del Rio said he deserves to be champion, and he’s going to do this for children, because they need a hero. He then said that the future of the planet depends on him.
RVD rolled Del Rio up, 47 seconds before Big E’s time. De Rio now stands to be the #1 contender, barring his time getting beat by Dolph Ziggler or Mark Henry. Del Rio just seems completely despondent and uninterested.
John Cena and The Usos w/ Renee Young
Renee asked Cena if he is using the same plan tonight that he used when he faced Erick Rowan on SmackDown. Cena introduced The Usos, who would be a ringside with him. Cena and The Usos then hummed a song and beat their chests in rhythm with each other. It was pretty funny, and for some reason this trio works.
