JACKSONVILLE,
Fla. – With WWE TLC just nine days away, Randy Orton won his Beat the Clock Challenge in heroic fashion, giving himself some control
over his fate in his upcoming pay-per-view showdown with Wade Barrett.
Meanwhile, Intercontinental Champion Cody Rhodes stirred things up with two
vicious sneak attacks, and Big Show made a gigantic point with the help of a
steel chair.

In a grueling Beat a Clock Challenge against
Dolph Ziggler, Randy Orton struggled to get back in the ring and best the time of
7:53 – set earlier in the night by Wade Barrett. However, while Vickie Guerrero
distracted the referee, his WWE TLC opponent appeared from nowhere, hurling The
Viper into the steel ring post. Despite this onslaught, the resilient Orton reengaged
Ziggler in time, executing the RKO to overcome his English adversary’s benchmark
by two seconds!
Orton’s
triumph earned him the right to pick his stipulation for his WWE TLC Match
against Barrett. After the main event had concluded, the British brawler made a
forceful suggestion as to what the stipulation should be, attempting to put
Orton through a table. But, The Viper foiled his plan, hurling Dolph Ziggler
through the table instead. (MATCH PREVIEW)
