The main event of the evening featured an in-ring segment with SmackDown General Manager Nick Aldis and Raw General Manager Adam Pearce, both competing to secure Orton’s services. However, the situation took an unexpected turn when Paul Heyman, the advocate for The Bloodline, intervened and announced that the decision would be made by the dominant faction.
