The “American Nightmare” even received some boos as he punished his former mentor. Before the match got underway, Jelly Roll neutralized Pat McAfee with an elbow drop through the table.

The music star helped level the playing field for Rhodes. Orton and Rhodes each hit their own finishing moves for two counts. McAfee, who left on a stretcher, reemerged later in the main event in a ref shirt.

The original official Charles Robinson was RKOed by a blinded Orton. McAfee also received an RKO, which was enough time for Rhodes to apply his Cross Rhodes on Orton for the win. After the match, Orton grabbed the title and nailed Rhodes in the head.

Then he proceeded to punt kicking the champ. “The Viper” did not take losing too kindly. A somber end to the first night of WrestleMania.
