Josh Mathews goes up to Chris Jericho in the back and asks him about his comments, when Jericho said if he doesn’t become champion he will leave WWE. Mathews says since he is out of the match, he can’t become champion and he asks about his future plans. Jericho doesn’t say anything and Mathews thanks him for his time, then the camera pans away and John Morrison is sitting next to Jericho. Morrison says ‘bad day, huh?’ and asks Jericho if he still thinks he is the best in the world and tells him it will get better. Morrison mocks him and asks if he understands what he is saying to him right now, then stares off camera as we go back to the ring.
Sheamus makes his way out for commentary for the main event as we go to our final commercial. When we get back John Cena and Edge are also at the commentator’s table to join Sheamus, Cole and Lawler as Barrett and Orton make their entrances.
Wade Barrett vs Randy Orton
Orton punches away at Barrett and whips him into the corner and hits a clothesline. They take the action outside and fight near the announcers and Orton throws Barrett into the table. He unloads on Barrett on the apron then stomps Barrett in the midsection. Orton runs at Barrett but gets hit with a big boot and Barrett punches away at Orton then chokes him on the bottom rope. He follows it by hitting a neckbreaker for two, and puts Orton in a rear choke, then measures up Orton and knocks him down with some right hands. Barrett goes for the Wasteland but Orton counters with a backbreaker, and he starts psyching up and clotheslines Barrett then hits a powerslam. Orton sets up the rope DDT, but Barrett dumps him over the ropes, then new music interrupts the match.
Darren Young comes out to the stage to get Barrett’s attention, and he says Barrett won’t get away with kicking him out of Nexus and beating him up. Young says he is going to show them why he wasn’t the weakest link, but he is the missing link. Young distracts him long enough for Orton to get back in the ring and he hits the RKO to win the match. Orton calls Young in the ring and he RKO’s him, then he hits both Edge and Sheamus after they try to attack him. After we see some post match highlights, Cena and Orton have a staredown in the ring as RAW goes off the air.
Winner – Randy Orton
