Ambrose goes for a headlock, but Orton with the height and weight advantage, escapes and attacks Ambrose with a series of right hands.

Orton rolls away and gets up, Ambrose goes for a kick to Orton's leg but Orton dodges and delivers a punch to the stomach! Orton drags Ambrose over to the corner and lifts him onto the second rope! Orton goes up with him, and I think he's going for the superplex! He gets Ambrose in the position, but Ambrose pushes Orton off and he lands on his feet. Ambrose goes for a dropkick from the top rope! Orton steps out of the way and Ambrose hits the referee who was behind Orton! The referee goes down, Ambrose quickly gets up and turns around, RKO! RKO!
