McMahon and Mizanin traded punches before McMahon tore his quad when he did a leapfrog maneuver while trying to avoid Mizanin.Doctors checked on McMahon before he was helped out of the ring.
Snoop Dogg then came back into the ring to continue the match, as he punched "The Miz" twice, then stole a page from "The Rock" and landed a people’s elbow to secure the win."My hat’s off to Snoop, just picking it up and like, ‘oh man, he’s hurt?
That’s alright, I’ll fix that.’ Just a natural born entertainer," said WWE head of creative Paul "Triple H" Levesque. "I’ve known Snoop for years in this environment and what kind of a fan he is, but tonight he put himself on a different playing field and respect factor for me.
