Then Randy Orton makes his way slowly down to the ring. While Batista was prepared for Cody Rhodes & Ted DiBiase to attack, he went after Orton instead, allowing Rhodes & DiBiase to hit the ring with chairs. All three gang up on Batista and beat him repeatedly with the chair. Orton takes the WWE Title belt and walks away with it while the trainers check on Batista. Batista is loaded into an ambulance and taken away. Match #1: Kofi Kingston vs William Regal. Kingston pins Regal. Josh Matthews interviews Randy Orton. Orton says he's invoking his rematch clause and unless Batista comes back Orton wins the Title by forfeit. Match #2 for the Diva's Championship: Kelly Kelly vs Maryse. Mickie James was at ringside for commentary. Maryse pins Kelly. Recap of the Hog Pen Match at Extreme Rules. Josh Matthews interviews Vickie Guerrero.

Match #3: Santino Marella, Goldust & Festus w/Hornswoggle vs Chavo Guerrero, Jamie Noble & THE Brian Kendrick. Marella pins Noble. Match #4: John Cena vs The Miz. Cena apparently wins via DQ when the Big Show comes in and chokeslams him. (The bell never rang so maybe not) Show puts his submission move on Cena and holds it on him until the Miz starts beating on the Show with a chair. Then Miz beats Cena with the chair. Big Show gets up and Miz runs away. Match #5: MVP vs Matt Hardy. MVP pins Hardy. Vickie Guerrero waddles her way to the ring and she whines about being in the Hog Pen match and whines about how the fans hate her hand have no respect for her. (Gee, really?) Then, oh happy day, Vickie resigns as GM of RAW. (She really does quit, she gave the WWE her two weeks notice) The Edge comes down. Edge apologizes for what he said at Extreme Rules. But then he says that since she quit, he doesn't need to apologize and he doesn't need to continue with their marriage. Vickie doesn't understand, so Edge tells her flat out that he married her for her power. He wants to be champion at any cost, and since she quit she no longer has the power to help him so she's worthless. Vickie doesn't believe him and Edge counters that when they went out in public people thought she was his mother. Did she honestly think he could be in love with a she-beast? (Actually words) If anyone deserves sympathy it's him, every time he kissed her he had to rush to the bathroom to dry heave. The only saving grace is that they never actually consummated the marriage. It's fitting that her days in the WWE are over because so is the marriage: Edge wants a divorce. Vickie just screeches. (You know, the usual) (The crowd sings the Hey Hey Goodbye Song) Josh Matthews interviews John Cena. Match #6: Carlito & Primo Colon vs Cody Rhodes & Ted DiBiase. DiBiase pins Primo. Match #7 for the WWE Title: Batista vs Randy Orton. If Batista doesn't show up Orton wins via forfeit. The ref starts counting but the ambulance returns and the ref stops the count. However, instead of Batista, Triple H is in the ambulance. H, along with his trust sledgehammer, heads to the ring. H beats Rhodes & Dibiase with the hammer and proceeds to demolish Orton.
