"It's just nature, guys." -John "Bradshaw" Layfield on The Bunny's thrusting. "We got a bunny, a grumpy cat, maybe next week we can have some puppies on."-Jerry Lawler.

That included him flirting with Natalya at ringside. Rose was in control for most of the bout, but he was distracted by The Bunny's antics.

Harper dominated, slamming The Showoff to the mat, prowling around him before landing hard strikes. Ziggler struggled to get to his feet, but he demanded that the match start. Luke Harper and Seth Rollins' stooges attacked Dolph Ziggler before the bell rang. Lilian Garcia announced just before the bout that it would be for the Intercontinental Championship.
