– The roster is on the ramp, The Shield are at ringside, Triple H, Maddoz and Vickie are in the ring. Triple H says that as of Monday, Cody Rhodes is not a WWE superstar. He says that Cody was not respectful to Triple H. As COO, he IS the WWE. He’s friends with Cody’s family and it hurts him to have to do this. Hard decisions have to be made though. He accepts the responsibility of doing what is best for business. He tries to begin a an open forum with all of the roster able to speak their minds.

– Sandow steps in front of the mic on stage and says that he fully supports Cody’s termination. Kofi steps up to the plate. Kofi says that ever since Cody was fired, the entire locker room has been in fear. He doesn’t see how that’s good for business. Triple H is about to speak but Slater interrupts! Slater is uncomfortable with Big Show standing around doing nothing and watching everything go on. Heath likes Triple H’s management style. Triple H brushes that off and RVD steps up to the plate.

OVERALL: We got a lot of wrestling and a lot of good storyline continuation. RVD vs. Orton was a great match.and Bryan vs. Rollins was as good as a five minute match could get. The corporation storyline is really adding life throughout the entire card and giving matches plenty of meaning and heat. Even the Divas division is in an interesting spot right now.
