As this is ostensibly a show about professional wrestling, one would think a wrestling match or matches would be highlighted instead. ( Hazelwood’s Take: I joked on Twitter that WWE was really putting the entertainment in “sports entertainment” since their pre-show email, pre-show Byron Saxton hype, and intro video all surrounded the stealing of McMahon’s golden egg. They cut to break hyping the forthcoming match. They showed Orton hitting Jimmy Uso with an RKO on a splash attempt to win their match last night. Riddle said too late and slithered out to the ring to Orton’s music. Orton cut him off at the end and said he said to be like him, not to be him. He talked up Orton, then said he’s going to Zig Zag Ziggler into his worst nightmare once he hits the three most devastating letters in all of sports entertainment. He was wearing a black Orton cutoff hoodie like Orton, and even a pair of Orton-like wrestling trunks. He then slowly paused as Riddle approached with a fake mustache and goatee, saying he was doing “Viper stuff.” He said he’s doing what Orton said and is going to he him.
Orton said the last time he saw Riddle was last night after their victory over The Usos. Kevin Patrick approached Randy Orton in Gorilla, asking where Riddle was and Orton said it’s not like Riddle to miss a match. McMahon said the person who comes to him with info will be handsomely rewarded or face Big E tonight for the title. They said they have some blurry video with someone bare chested, and McMahon said it could be a woman they agreed. McMahon then said if they don’t find out who did it, then the two of them will be relieved of their duties. Pearce & Deville said they interviewed the superstars multiple times and even had the authorities involved, but no one knows anything. They cut back to McMahon, who said there’s nothing, huh? He said do you have any idea the value of this egg? He said The Rock gave it to him, then said it’s not about the value, but that someone stole from Vince McMahon.
They then showed the McMahon realizing the egg was missing and reacting, then instructing the entire roster to be on tonight’s show. Jimmy Smith said McMahon was still fuming over the events of last night as they shifted to a recap video from last night with McMahon discussing the egg being from The Rock and the real thing rather than a stage prop. The show began with a shot of the empty case the Cleopatra egg was in with an irate Vince McMahon sitting behind a desk with Adam Pearce and Sonya Deville sitting across from him.
