Randy Orton def. Intercontinental Champion Cody Rhodes in a Street Fight (WATCH | PHOTOS)
In an anything goes Street Fight, The Viper and Intercontinental Champion Cody Rhodes clashed in a knockdown, drag out battle. In a particularly brutal moment, The Viper suplexed Rhodes onto a steel grate on the entrance ramp. Despite the crushing blow, Rhodes carried on.

With The Viper locked in a painful leg hold, Rhodes removed his mask and used it as a weapon to bash Orton in the skull. But as the battle continued and Rhodes tried a similar move, the cunning Viper grabbed the mask and smashed Rhodes in the face with it. That proved to be a pivotal turning point in the match, shifting momentum in The Viper's favor.

Finally after an RKO from the ring barricade to the arena floor, then another one in the ring, WWE’s Apex Predator secured the win. Adding insult to injury, Orton placed one of Rhodes’ paper bags over his head. Then as he walked up the ramp in victory, Orton held Rhodes' mask up to reveal it had been cracked.
