Orton calls over J&J Security, Rollins and Big Show to regroup and talk things over. As that is going on, we head to our final commercial break of the evening.

We’re back from the break and the first thing we see is Orton dominating the action in the ring. The announcers hard-sell the fact that Stephanie McMahon did an impressive job getting the two huge egos of Rollins and Orton to co-exist here tonight. Meanwhile, Orton continues to dominate the action in the ring, taking it to Daniel Bryan with a vengeance.

Finally, Bryan makes it to his corner and tags in Roman Reigns. Orton also tagged out. Reigns immediately takes it to Rollins off the hot tag. He calls for the Superman punch but ends up hitting J&J Security, who popped up on the apron. Rollins takes Reigns out with a big superkick and tags in Orton.

Orton steps into the ring and grabs Reigns. He and Orton begin exchanging punches back-and-forth. Finally, Rollins tags himself in, which pisses Orton off. The Authority tries to calm Orton down on the outside. Meanwhile, Bryan does the same thing, tagging himself in, but Reigns just laughs it off. Bryan hits the Running Knee on Rollins. 1-2-3. Bryan and Reigns win.

Winners: Roman Reigns & Daniel Bryan

After The Match: Orton Isn’t Finished

After the match, Orton continues to lose his cool. Bryan and Reigns celebrate and eventually leave. Orton waits for Rollins to get up, looking to hit him with the punt-kick. As he runs towards him, Jamie Noble grabs him from behind, only to eat an RKO out of nowhere for his attempt. Orton then simply walks over and helps Rollins up. He pats Rollins on the back and leaves as his music plays. Rollins and The Authority seem confused. This week’s show ends on that note.
