Hoff said he was watching Smackdown the other night and he realized there was no no. 1 contender for the World Title. He said if one man beats the World Champion twice, he should be entitled to that match, so he’s announcing that on Extreme Rules, Jack Swagger will defend his title against Randy Orton. He then announced Orton vs. Batista would happen tonight.

Josh Matthews interviewed Orton, asking what his plans were for Extreme Rules. Orton said there are no rules and he’s perfectly fine with that. He said he’s sent over a dozen people to the hospital since his WWE career started including the Chairman. He said he didn’t do that playing by the rules. He said winning the MITB and the World Title is going to cost him. He said he is the last person Swagger should want to step into the ring with. He said his match with Swagger is simply business. He said as far as Batista tonight is concerned, that’s something completely different. He said it’s something he’s been looking forward to for a very long time.
