[HOUR ONE]
-Michael Cole introduced the show as they showed an aerial view of Mexico City. Then they showed fans arriving at the arena and then the arrivals of Sami Zayn and CM Punk. They went to ringside for Cole and Wade Barrett to set the table. A graphic in the corner said, “We Remember 9/11.”
-Randy Orton came out to huge cheers. He played to the crowd at ringside and then entered the ring and asked, “So, what do you want to talk about?” He said at Sunday Night’s Main Event, Cody Rhodes showed that he’s no killer. “Cody Rhodes is a good man, a good father, a good husband, a good friend.” Scattered boos, no cheers. He said Cody’s soul is not for sale.
Orton said he’s a killer and he doesn’t care whether people think he’s a good or not. “That means nothing to me,? he said. He said anyone who comes between him and his 15th world title, he won’t hesitate to “empty that clip.” He said whoever walked out tonight as the WWE Champion, he is coming for them with “the three most dangerous letters in sports entertainment, RKO!”
Cole said Orton wants win no. 15 for sole claim to third place in most title reigns. They showed Orton walking to the back as fans sang his theme song with enthusiasm.
-They cut backstage to GM Nick Aldis telling Chelsea Green if she gets hurt, he has no choice but to take the title off of her. Green thanked him because “I needed to keep this title.” Aldis said she earned it, so good luck. Tiffany Stratton walked up to Green and wished her luck.
-They showed Rey Fenix walking down a staircase.
-They went to Cole and Barrett who spoke about the 25th Anniversary of the attacks on 9/11. He talked about what happened and how many died. A video then played narrated by Paul Levesque. The video included footage of the first WWE event after 9/11. [c]
(1) REY FENIX vs. RICKY SAINTS – AAA Cruiserweight Title
The bell rang 20 minutes into the hour. Fenix dominated at the start as the crowd enthusiastically chanted for him. The fans booed when he struck his signature pose after his first offense. Saints dove through the ropes and turned it into a Revolution DDT at ringside. He struck a pose again as they cut to a break at 2:00. [c]
Saints walked the top rope and then leaped off with a forearm to Fenix’s arm.
