— We’re live from the WWE ThunderDome at Yuengling Center in Tampa, Florida, as Corey Graves, Byron Saxton, and new RAW commentator Jimmy Smith welcome us to the show. They run through what is going to happen in the ring.

MizTV:

Miz and John Morrison are in the ring for MizTV and john has a necklace of garlic.

Miz says the last few weeks have been tough without him on Raw, but it wasn’t his fault.  Miz says he is sorry.  That match . . . that match . . . that Zombies lumberjack match with Damian Priest.  Miz says he was injured.  For the first time in his career, his body gave way. . . Miz asks what is that smell.

Morrison says it is garlic and he isn’t letting them get attacked after what happened at Backlash.  Aliens, vampires, plumbers.  Morrison says he brought his brand new ‘drip stick’.  

Miz says he loves Morrison and then he says he had an epipheny.  He says he needed to get back to Raw because we are going on the road again and people want to see us on the road.  Miz says he has accomplished so much that he has to give back and use his platform to support superstars like John Morrison or his guest tonight.  Miz brings out Charlotte Flair.

Morrison holds the ropes open for Charlotte and we find out that Charlotte is not a vampire because despite not enjoying the smell, she enters the ring. Charlotte asks what is that smell and Morrison explains the garlic. Miz asks Charlotte how many times will she be champion if she wins at Hell in a Cell. Charlotte says it would be 14 times and she asks who is counting.  Miz and Morrison ‘laugh’.  Charlotte says that Rhea has had her story and her fairy tale victory at Wrestlemania.  She says she will be sending Rhea to hell.

Rhea Ripley’s music plays and she makes her way to the ring.

Rhea asks Charlotte if she is going to send Rhea to hell and Rhea tells Charlotte she can go to hell. Miz asks Rhea to explain her personality and to explain her tattoos.  Morrison asks Rhea for her favorite garlic bread recipe.  Miz asks why and says that he wants to make sure that she is not a vampire. Rhea says she is not a vampire, but a nightmare for the women’s division.  If you want to interview me in three weeks, I will still be champion. Charlotte says that Rhea couldn’t even beat Nikki Cross and then we look at last week’s Two Minute Challenge.

Charlotte reminds Rhea it was her.  If you can’t beat Nikki Cross, how do you think you can beat me?

Nikki Cross’ music plays and she makes her way to the ring.

Nikki points out that last week she beat the Raw Women’s Champion.  She says it was only fair that she was the first person to challenge the winner at Hell in a Cell. Charlotte says if life is fair, she would be the Raw Women’s Champion now. Rhea says last week if there were four minutes on the clock instead of two, you wouldn’t be standing her.  You did earn my respect last week. Nikki thanks Rhea and then she tells Charlotte that she can beat her in two minutes, then would it be fine to challenge the winner at Hell in a Cell.

Charlotte says this is ridiculous and she can beat Nikki in one minute. Nikki slaps Charlotte and Charlotte tells the troll she is on as we abruptly go to commercial.
