Unfortunately for Riley, he eliminated himself by falling out of the ring while being beaten up by Cena and Kofi Kingston in the corner. The Leader of the Cenation was left stunned that the person who was supposed to eliminate him... got eliminated.
Thankfully, WWE managed to develop a new plan by having The Miz, who was the WWE Champion at that time, interfere in the match and toss Cena over the top rope.
At WrestleMania 27, John Cena challenged Miz for the WWE Championship, but he failed to capture the title after The Rock cost him the match.
