During the match, Orton looked particularly angry as he attempted to painfully punish Kingston. But the New Day star rallied and hit Orton with a few chops and a dropkick before he dropped “The Viper” with a slam off of the ropes.

As the match came to a close, Kingston was helped by Xavier Woods, who used his trusty trombone to confuse Orton. Kingston quickly took advantage of the distraction and rolled up Orton to pick up a quick win that only further enraged Orton. With Kingston and Woods celebrating in the ring, Matt Riddle – who had been at ringside for Orton – tried to calm his partner down, and he got into a shouting match with Woods and Kingston in the process. A visibly frustrated Orton quickly left the ring, forcing Riddle to go after him, but not after he delivered a harsh shove to Woods.
