Backstage, Teddy Long and Tiffany were chatting, when Cryme Tyme entered.  Cryme Tyme complained that there were two of them, and only one Rumble spot for them.  They wanted Long to try and get them both in.  Long said it wasn't possible.  Cryme Tyme said they worked out a deal, and brought in Great Khali.  Cryme Tyme said Khali would give his spot for a kiss from Tiffany.  Tiffany was not thrilled about it.   Ranjin Singh entered to say there would not be a deal between them.  Teddy Long then made a "Pants On The Ground" joke about Cryme Tyme.  The Miz entered and said no one would remember that joke five years from now, but they would remember him winning the Royal Rumble.  Teddy Long informed the Miz that since this was a PPV, there were no Raw guest hosts, and he was in charge. Long told Miz in addition to being in the Rumble, he would finally defend the U.S. Title against MVP tonight.

Cody Rhodes approached Randy Orton backstage, and said he would be there for Orton in his title match with Sheamus.  Rhodes then told Orton that Ted DiBiase hadn't been the same since his movie came out.  Rhodes said that DiBiase had been talking about winning the Rumble and beating Orton for the WWE Championship. Rhodes told Orton he could count on him though, and left.
