We start off with Daniel Bryan and Shane McMahon talking about how they will show that Team Blue is best at SummerSlam.
They also have Randy Orton sign the contract for his match with Brock Lesnar.
Heath Slater enters and he has a fruit basket from the Farmer's Market. He gives Randy an apple. Daniel says the card was a condolence card. Heath says he watched last week's Smackdown and he reminds Daniel and Shane that he stood toe to toe with Brock Lesnar.
Shane says he will not be disrespected by Heath.
Heath says they have a big pickle and Daniel says there is no pickle.
Randy says he has an idea and he takes a bite of the apple and we go to the opening video.
We are in Austin, Texas and your announcers are Mauro Ranallo, John Layfield, and David Otunga.
Maryse is in the ring and she is here to introduce her husband The Miz.
Dean Ambrose makes his way to the ring before he is officially introduced.
Dean says under normal circumstances he cannot stand Miz' voice, but since we are a few days from SummerSlam . . .
Dolph Ziggler's music plays and he makes his way to the ring. Dolph apologizes for cutting off Dean, but he is not really sorry.
Dean says he won't need to talk to make his point.
Miz tells Dean and Dolph to whoa things down because this is his show. This is MizTV. Miz says he invited them out here to talk, not fight. Who would have thunk that six months ago that Dolph would be competing for the WWE Championship. A lot of people had Dolph written off. He was the WWE version of the Ghostbusters reboot . . . a flop. You had some early success but you kind of fizzled out. Your need to prove the cynics wrong, you have had a career resurgence. What happens if you lose at SummerSlam? What happens if you fail?
Dolph says he is not worried about after SummerSlam. He is only worried about Sunday and the WWE Championship.
Dean mentions the laser focused Dolph Ziggler with all of the intensity. Some say he has turned a corner, but Dean says he does not buy it.
Miz starts to talk and Dolph tells him to shut up. Dolph wants to know what Dean wants from him. Do you want him to use the company hasn't gotten behind him as fuel on the fire? Do you want him to use the critics and naysayers to fuel his fire? Do you want him to admit that everything that Dean said over the last three weeks wants him to kick Dean's head off his face? He wants Dean to admit after SummerSlam, you were the last push to put him over the edge for him to win the WWE Title.
Dean says that is real powerful stuff. Dean wants to play out the fantasy. Somehow you win. Whoopdido. You proved everyone wrong. Is your life transformed? No. Are the critics silenced? No. This is when it gets really hard. It does not get any easier. The critics and demands are there. The day you win the WWE Championship is the day the pressure gets raised. He says that Dolph cannot handle the pressure. You are happy being the star of your crappy movie. Let's take a look at how big this chip on your shoulder has gotten. It will bury you. You have never felt pressure like this when you try to take the title from him. You will get beaten and you will get hurt. You will prove something on Sunday. You will prove you don't want it bad enough. You never wanted it bad enough.
Dolph asks Dean if he has it all figured out. You don't know a damn thing about him. You do know something. You know that Sunday you are going to have push through every physical and mental limit, but it won't be enough. You will not be able to put him away. You do not have what it takes to put him away. You will crawl and bleed across the ring and it will not be enough to put him away. As you look for one more move to show that you can do it . . .
Dolph with a super kick and Dean goes down.
This Sunday you realize that he is that damn good.
