The Viper stated that he wanted to finally be done with The Fiend and his partner Alexa Bliss, and brought a large can of gasoline with him. Bliss arrived onto the scene and played with a jack-in-the-box, which signaled The Fiend's arrival.

The Fiend then appeared wearing the same fire-damaged mask that he donned at Fastlane. The Fiend did not move, causing Orton to throw gasoline onto him.

Orton took The Fiend out with an RKO before he became distracted by Bliss. This allowed The Fiend to apply the Mandible Claw to Orton who then received a Sister Abigail. Bliss pointed to the WrestleMania sign and posed in the ring with The Fiend as Raw went off the air.
