We are back and Big Show is in the ring. He says that despite the fact that the Authority said that he came back for a paycheck, that is not completely correct. He is here to make the Authority’s life a living hell. That would be by rearranging the face of the WWE and becoming the WWE Champion.

Orton tells Show that there are no maybes. He will be finished. Show might be a first ballot Hall of Famer, but he is all washed up.

It should have happened years ago. All Orton has ever done is do what is best for Randy Orton. Orton waited until someone handed him the WWE Title.

Now, Randy is all alone. When he gets his hands on Randy at Survivor Series, no one is going to save him. The sad truth is that Randy is not the face of the WWE. He is just a spoiled brat.

Randy says that he is not a spoiled brat and he will beat Show without any help.

Show wants to show Randy what happens every time they are alone. We see a footage of Show with an advantage on Orton.

He tells John to enjoy his night on Raw. Hiding behind a sling will not help on Monday. He will make John pay. He will hurt John and he will hurt him bad. In two days, John Cena will be tapping out.
