Orton and Christian stare at each other but there is a table they need to sit across from each other at.
They sit at the table and Teddy says that this is the official contract signing for their match at Money in the Bank.
Christian tells Teddy and Orton that his legal counsel has reviewed the contract and he points out that there is a clause that if the referee makes a bad call, he receives an immediate rematch. Teddy tells his lackeys in the black and white stripes to do their jobs or they will be back doing this again. Christian says that he is sick being screwed over. Christian says that he knows that he can beat Orton even though nobody else thinks that he can.
Randy says that there is a reason for that, but Christian tells him to shut up. Christian reminds Orton that he beat him two weeks ago and he won last week in the tag match. Teddy can’t save him any more. The crooked refs can’t save him any more. The WWE brass can’t save him any more because they think that Orton is their golden boy.

Orton tells Christian that there was a time when this all started between them when he enjoyed facing Christian in this ring. A time when he respected Christian. They had a great match when he beat Christian. They had another epic match and Orton won again. The more that he beats Christian, the more that Christian begs and pleads for one more match. Orton says that it is comical. Now all of this is starting to make him angry. Orton reminds Christian that he has had problems in the past managing his anger.

We are back and the ring has a carpet and table so it must mean that it is contract signing time and if there is a contract being signed, there is going to be something destroyed.
Teddy Long is in the ring and he brings out the former World Champion and current Number One Contender. Christian is accompanied by a man in a suit. Teddy then brings out the World Champion Randy Orton.
Orton and Christian stare at each other but there is a table they need to sit across from each other at.
They sit at the table and Teddy says that this is the official contract signing for their match at Money in the Bank.
Christian tells Teddy and Orton that his legal counsel has reviewed the contract and he points out that there is a clause that if the referee makes a bad call, he receives an immediate rematch. Teddy tells his lackeys in the black and white stripes to do their jobs or they will be back doing this again. Christian says that he is sick being screwed over. Christian says that he knows that he can beat Orton even though nobody else thinks that he can.
Randy says that there is a reason for that, but Christian tells him to shut up. Christian reminds Orton that he beat him two weeks ago and he won last week in the tag match. Teddy can’t save him any more. The crooked refs can’t save him any more. The WWE brass can’t save him any more because they think that Orton is their golden boy. Christian says that the truth of the matter is that Orton can’t beat him. At Money in the Bank, Christian says that he is going to prove it.
Orton tells Christian that there was a time when this all started between them when he enjoyed facing Christian in this ring. A time when he respected Christian. They had a great match when he beat Christian. They had another epic match and Orton won again. The more that he beats Christian, the more that Christian begs and pleads for one more match. Orton says that it is comical. Now all of this is starting to make him angry. Orton reminds Christian that he has had problems in the past managing his anger. Orton congratulates Christian for lawyering up to get another title shot. A lawyer is not going to give Christian the title. Orton reminds Christian that he is going to have to beat him and that will never ever happen.
Orton signs the contract first and then he gives it to Christian. Chrsitian gives the contract to his lawyer to review it and the lawyer has something to tell Christian. Christian is about to sign the contract, but the pen is out of ink.
Before Teddy can give Christian another pen, Sheamus comes into the ring and he goes after Orton and then he throws Orton’s chair out of the ring. Sheamus punches Orton and Christian pulls Sheamus off. Sheamus hits Christian and then connects with the Brogue Kick. Orton gets up and tries for an RKO but Sheamus with a Brogue Kick for Orton.
Sheamus tells both of them that he will break them fella. Sheamus rips up the contract as we go to credits.
