Santino made a comeback and applied his version of the Masterlock. Masters broke free of the move and countered with the real Masterlock until the referee called for the bell.

2. Christian defeated Paul Burchill in a non-title match. Nice Ontario reaction for Christian. Ryder gave the "XOXO" greeting to his girlfriend. Funny. Christian was in control of the offense when show went to break.

Burchill got some offense in after the break. Late in the match, he caught Christian on the ropes and nailed him with a few headbutts before following up with a fisherman's buster off the second rope. The wrestlers traded offense until Christian hit the Killswitch to win the match. Afterward, Christian looked down at Ryder, who remained behind the desk while returning the stare.

Jim Ross and Todd Grisham checked in for the first time at ringside.
Backstage, Josh Matthews interviewed Randy Orton, who said he made a business decision when he said the words "I quit" at Breaking Point. He said he would make John Cena suffer in the Hell in a Cell match and reclaim his WWE Championship.

3. Dolph Ziggler defeated Finlay. A few minutes into the match, Ziggler bailed to ringside to avoid a beatdown. Finlay followed, so Ziggler climbed over the guardrail. The referee wouldn't let Finaly follow him.

Lots of punches and kicks after the break. They also bumped heads in the corner of the ring. Finlay was in charge of the match when he became distracted by the referee taking his silly shillelagh, which had been kicked into mid-ring. Ziggler took advantage of the distraction by hitting his finisher and scoring the pin.
