McIntyre controlled the match early on with two Glasgow Kisses. Orton tried walking out of the match, but McIntyre stopped him. WWE official Adam Pearce stopped Orton when he tried to walk out, and he said that the match would continue without count-outs and disqualifications. Orton then attacked McIntyre with a chair and dominated the match for a few minutes.
