A highlight was shown of Dibiase and Maryse losing last week's match to R-Truth and Eve. The couple argued about the loss but then a strange message with romantic music appeared on the Titantron saying "I Will Have You" and seeming to be directed at Maryse.

Maryse and Dibiase were backstage, with Maryse asking if he saw that Eve just cost her the Battle Royal win. Dibiase complained about how she lost the match last week. Maryse tried to say it was Dibiase's fault. Just then a knock came at the door and a note was slid underneath. Dibiase rushed over to open the door, seeing nobody there. He gave the note to Maryse and she read it saying "Next week you will be mine." She handed Dibiase the note and walked out.

Former WWE Champ Sheamus came to the ring to talk to the crowd. He told an old Irish fable/tale about two princes having to race to a castle to become new king. He said one prince was losing the race badly so he cut off his own hand and threw it at the kingdom, reaching it first and winning, despite being badly bruised. Sheamus likened that to the Hell in a Cell with Orton, saying he's willing to make the sacrifice to win back the WWE Title. From there, Sheamus called out anyone from the locker room to come challenge him. Raw went to break with Sheamus waiting for an opponent.
