Randy Orton vs. Dean Ambrose
Randy Orton is out first, followed by Dean Ambrose to an extremely loud pop once again.
Right off the bat, Ambrose dares Orton to throw the first punch before they lock up and move into the corner. Orton quickly makes his way to the outside to buy some early time.
Eventually Randy gets back into the ring and they lock up once again before Ambrose gets to work on Orton’s arm on the mat. Orton counters with an elbow and then gets to work on the bad shoulder of Ambrose.
After a few more counters, Ambrose gets back on the offensive and hits a nice clothesline on Orton from the corner, but Randy gets right back in it by bouncing Ambrose off the turnbuckle. He climbs the ropes and starts pummeling, but then Ambrose reverses that and gets in some shots of his own, followed by a dropkick against the ropes.
Ambrose goes for another submission, but Orton counters and nails a tremendous clothesline. Before the commercial break, Ambrose gets back in control and tosses Randy to the outside.
Back from the commercial, Orton is in control after he threw Ambrose into the steel steps on the outside, shoulder first. He has Ambrose on the mat, and then lands a dropkick off the ropes, but he only gets a two count.
Following a whip into the ropes, Ambrose nails a DDT on Orton, but the shoulder is holding him back from attempting the pin. The two then trade blows in the middle of the ring, with Ambrose getting the upper hand eventually.
After some more back and forth, Ambrose locks in a Figure Four, but Randy doesn’t tap. Dean goes to the top rope, but he gets caught by Orton who then hits a standing dropkick, with only a two count as a result.
Bouncing off the ropes, Ambrose catches Orton with a clothesline and is back in control. He tosses Orton to the outside and tosses him into the barricade before going for some chairs. He starts tossing a slew of chairs into the ring!
After some more back and forth, Orton is able to get the clean win with the RKO after an amazing finishing sequence
