Orton rolled to the floor, and complained about his knee.  The referee asked if he could continue.  Orton told the referee to count him out.  Cena came out, saying he knew Orton wasn't hurt to the referee, who tried to stop him.  Orton grabbed Cena and hit an RKO on the floor, then rolled into the ring.  The referee got up to a nine count, and Cena rolled back into the ring.  Cena yelled at Orton to get to his feet.  Orton slapped the referee, and the referee called for the bell at the seventeen minute mark.  Orton smiled. Cena complained to the referee, then gave Orton an FU and applied an STFU.  Orton tapped like crazy, but the referee had already left the ring. Cena finally walked off in disgust. Orton got his belt and walked off as they announced that Cena was the winner, but Orton was still the champion.

Winner via disqualification: John Cena.
