Dusty Rhodes is here. He's here to help Cody Rhodes earn his job back via a business proposition. Stephanie McMahon shows up and offers a job to one of his two sons...but only one. After pondering this (and being accused of having an ego by Stephanie), Dusty tells her to go straight to Hell. The Shield (Dean Ambrose, Seth Rollins, Roman Reigns) show up, but Stephanie stops them in her tracks and sends out Big Show, who shows up. He tells him to knock Dusty out as The Shield all get steel chairs. She gives Dusty a choice between dismantled by either Show or The Shield, but he doesn't choose, so Show has to knock him out.
