Aldis says he's said everything he's needed to and asks Owens to hand him the Winged Eagle Championship. Owens asks Aldis why he would give it to him considering that it's his only bargaining chip, then demands a rematch against Cody Rhodes for the Undisputed WWE Championship making it clear that it's the only way that he'll get it back. Aldis tells Owens that he will never step foot in a WWE ring again if he doesn't hand over the Winged Eagle Championship.

Rhodes' music hits and he makes his way out. Aldis tells Rhodes to walk away, but Rhodes says he won't be doing that. He tells Aldis that he doesn't want Owens to hand over the Winged Eagle Championship, then says when he met Owens, he was young and hungry looking to climb the ladder. He says back then, he did what he did for himself but now he does it for his family, the fans, his friends, and the people who believed in him. He says the Winged Eagle Championship was meant to be something special for the fans, but it's now time for him to take it back. He says he and Owens are no longer friends, then reiterates that he wants a match against Owens where the referee can't stop him.

Rhodes proposes that he and Owens unify the Undisputed WWE Championship and Winged Eagle Championship in a Ladder Match, and Aldis reluctantly makes it official for WWE Royal Rumble. Owens says that sounds great to him and offers his hand to Rhodes, but Rhodes refuses to shake it. Owens then pushes Aldis into Rhodes and stomps on his neck, then heads to the back holding up the Winged Eagle Championship as officials check on Rhodes and the show goes off the air.
