Orton introduces himself and then says he is what MVP claims to be. He says maybe there is a reason that this happens to MVP each month.

Rhodes talks over the boring chants, and says that Orton is that guy that graduated high school, didn't get into college and hung out in his hometown trying to be cool. All Orton has is his reputation. Manu then says the only reason he got to attack Punk was because they did the damage, and Orton picked up the scraps. Orton says once they accomplish half of what he did, he may take them seriously. He bails, and MVP says Orton is the WWE's so-called valuable commodity, and he may wrestle again in 2012. MVP says he likes what they just did, and DiBiase stops him, and says his father was NOT one of the greatest stars on WWE history, which means he is NOT in their class. MVP claims to make more money than all of them, and DiBiase reminds him that his dad is the Million Dollar Man, and he has never worried about money. The dismiss MVP and say they will see him on the next PPV that he is not a part of. MVP claims he will remember this conversation. This now brings out Punk and Kofi. Punk say she has an idea, they talk and tries to work MVP to their side. They rush the ring and Punk and Kofi stop short, and allow MVP to get his ass beat.
