Before the next match, Dolph Ziggler tells Roman Reigns that he wants him to know that he is glad he is okay, but that he doesn't get why Roman gets all the attention from this while nobody cares that he got Speared three times by Goldberg. He also says that "The Heartbreak Kid" Shawn Michaels superkicked him and that Mike Kanellis beat him with the Figure Four Leg Lock, then says it should be him before hitting Roman with a surprise superkick.

As he says there is so much going on in his life right now, the interference continues. Elias proceeds to play, then he is out of tune. Black and yellow gloves are seen behind Elias as he speaks and plays. An assistant in a black robe wearing said gloves shows up to give him his guitar, and it ends up being R-Truth. A referee is in the ring, and R-Truth tries to win the 24/7 Championship from Elias. R-Truth has trouble beating Elias with inside cradles, so he picks up a guitar and considers using a guitar as a weapon. He swings, but Elias runs away.
