“Boss let me tell you this, I didn’t make up this entire idea to lose the belt in 21 days, I am going to be world champion for as long as I can be, Now RVD is a worthy Opponent I grant him that but he will not walk as out champion because lets face it, I am your greatest asset and me being champion works so for RVD what he done I am grateful for but I wont let him walk by me at the 1st Year Anniversary show”
Later that Night RVD is seen walking to the ring when out of nowhere Orton attacks RVD taking him down and going for the punt kick but RVD gets to his feet and takes down Orton but Orton is able to get to his feet and takes RVD down out of nowhere with the RKO as Orton holds the championship belt up high and walks off as RVD is seen laid out.

Listen to me and listen good, I will beat Finlay, I can beat Danielson I can beat Abyss, I can beat anybody, why because I am Nigel McGuinness”
