He begs her for one more chance, but she turns him down and pushed the crutches into Rusev. Rusev started yelling and calling her names. Dolph Ziggler comes out and escorts Lana away from ringside.

* Roman Reigns defeated Sheamus via DQ when Kane attacked Reigns. After the match, Kane took out Sheamus with a chokeslam. Kane then announced himself as the last entrant in the MITB ladder match.

Yay for Kane in MitB.

Zack Ryder is a bit of an anti-climax but I suppose he would have just got killed.

The Paige interview could be interesting. It seems to suggest there may be a relaunch of the women's division.

I know that there is frequent talk about re-branding Smackdown, which never seems to come to anything. So, for example, I think when Bryan won the IC there was talk that Smackdown could be around that.

I think it would be interesting if Smackdown became a home for the women. Doesn't mean they can't have matches on Raw, but I think that as long as Vince continues to book Raw his view of women will hold them back. Also, I expect the quarter hour figures in Smackdown are less rigorously interrogated than Raw, where a bad women's match and low figures could really hurt them.
