Bless Tom Phillips for doing his best to explain why a ticked-off and vengeful Big E decided to stop kicking Randy Orton's ass to spank it mid-match. Phillips claimed that E was only trying to get inside Orton's head by doing something he wouldn't expect.

The spot was woefully out of place, especially when E came to the ring looking serious and repeatedly screamed at Randy that he was "here to collect" on behalf of his friend Kofi Kingston. An agent should've advised against this one.
