Both Superstars set out to use every tool and weapon at their disposal and eventually the match turned in The Game’s favor as he repeatedly worked on his opponent’s knee. As he prepared to deliver the coup de grace to Orton’s wounded limb, he was distracted by The Legacy, with Cody Rhodes & Ted DiBiase rushing to the ring and attacking The King of Kings.
