Did you notice that neither man used their finisher during McIntyre vs. Orton? Tom Phillips did, and that's likely because WWE want to set up a rematch for next week's Payback pay-per-view.

Phillips pointed out that nobody used "their biggest weapons" (the RKO or the Claymore Kick) and that Drew won with a surprise backslide instead. Instant rematch upcoming? It looks like it. It's not like WWE has anything better to fill Payback with anyway.
