Before the next match, Damien Sandow says that this moment requires a quote from a true thinker. According to Socrates, the only good is knowledge and the only evil is ignorance. He calls John Cena a "false idol" and says that his stranglehold of ignorance is about to come to a just and swift end.
John Cena beats Damien Sandow with the STF.
Backstage, Josh Mathews says he is not joined by Damien Sandow, who has left him a note to read in his absence: "The ignoramus reading this statement - and doing so while lacking the proper intonation or penache - does not deserve to share the same oxygen as the great Damien Sandow. Therefore, there will be no interview. Through victory, John Cena and the WWE Universe have proved my point. He is a false idol leading a mindless flock. The day of enlightenment has been postponed due to ignorance. You're welcome."
Antonio Cesaro beats Zack Ryder. After the match, Cesaro says Ryder represents everything wrong with the United States, then states that he is disgusted with the fans. He says that he hates coming to this part of the country, but he has to because he is the United States Champion. Even though he is the champion of an inferior country, he is a superior champion, and his record proves without a shadow of a doubt that he is the greatest champion in WWE history. Suddenly, Kofi Kingston shows up and says the greatest thing about WWE is that when somebody makes an outlandish claim about being the best, they have to back it up. He tells Cesaro he is wrong and challenges him to a match next week on Main Event.
