The email sound went off as the lights blinked. Cole got up to read the latest email from the GM. The GM said Barrett is entitled to a future rematch against Orton, but there must be a special referee to maintain order. The GM said the winner of tonight's main event gets to choose the ref.

Otunga suggested that Cena should be fired for what he did to him last night. Barrett said it's clear they can't co-exist as tag champs, so he ordered a tag team title match with John Cena and David Otunga facing Justin Gabriel and Heath Slater.
