Winners – Cody Rhodes & Damien Sandow
Paul Heyman approaches Vince McMahon in his locker room and says he needs to apologize, then he says he didn't know what Punk was up to. Heyman says he is the youngest man old enough to know his father, and he's known Vince since he was a teenager so wants to be the one to make peace. Vince asks Heyman if he knows when he's lying, and he says Heyman has been poisoning Punk's mind for years, and Heyman looks surprised. Heyman says he's there for Vince's benefit, not Punk's, then he says he doesn't want to see Vince get hurt like when Brock Lesnar beat up HHH.
