We see the Cell hanging above the ring since Hell in a Cell is on Sunday.
Triple H makes his way to the ring and we see his firing of R Truth and Miz and their removal from the building.
Hunter says that he wants to explain his actions from last week. Truth and Miz were fired not because of his ego or some conspiracy theory. They were fired because of . . .
what happened after Night of Champions when they cut a promo about a conspiracy list. Then we see Miz and Truth apologizing last Monday before being fined $250,000 each.
Hunter tells Miz and Truth that they were fired for their own actions. They savagely attacked a WWE Official. Then they came to him with a weak apology. He says that he was going to be fired, but he decided to fine them so he could use them one more time in a main event before firing them. Hunter says that the fine will be paid by Mark Henry. He will pay that fine for putting his hands on Jim Ross and for attacking Jerry Lawler and putting him through a table.
Hunter says that no one man is bigger than the WWE. Hunter reminds us that he fired one of his best friends for lying to him. He says that he will do what is best for the WWE.
Vickie Guerrero comes out to interrupt Hunter with a few Excuse Mes. She says hat the United States Champion Dolph Ziggler has something to say. Hunter says that he is glad that Hunter is out here because he is talking about doing what is right for the business. He wants to know what he is going to do for him. Dolph reminds Hunter that Hugh Jackman fractured his jaw . . . an actor (no offense) fractured his jaw. Dolph says that he was stealing the show last week like he always does.
We see the graphic of the punch. Dolph says that he can still compete and he will do it for the kids who look up to him. He says that he cannot eat solid food so he wants to know what Hunter is going to do about this.
Hunter says that Hugh Jackman, an actor from Hollywood, was a guest on the show and Hugh punched Dolph in his glass jaw. Hunter says that he can get some security for when the Muppets are here next month.
Cody Rhodes comes out and he says that if it was amusing when DOlph got sucker punched, Hunter must have been rolling on the floor when RandyOrton maliciously hit him in the head with the ring bell. Cody says that he had nine staples in his head. Cody says that was worse than shoving a referee. Why wasn’t Orton punished or fined?
Hunter says that he wished that Cody had his mouth stapled. A few years ago, Randy Orton came out to handcuff him and watch him attack his wife. Hunter says that he didn’t whine. He went to Orton’s house to beat him up.
The complaint line continues with Christian to air his grievances. He says that he doesn’t interrupt a conversation that doesn’t involve him. What happened to him last week was worse. Sheamus put his hands on Christian during his match, threw him into the ring and cost him the World Heavyweight Championship. Christian wants to hear from Hunter how that was fair.
Hunter says that it was a Lumberjack match and it is the job of the lumberjacks to throw you back in.
Christian says that he has had enough . . . all of them have had enough. Christian asks them if they want to join him in filing the biggest lawsuit in the history of WWE. Christian says that he could change his mind if he gets ‘one more match’.
Hunter says that it seems fair if he gives Christian what he wants. Christian gets one more match at Hell in a Cell against Sheamus.
On Friday, Christian gets one more match against Randy Orton. Tonight, Christian gets one more match against John Cena.
Christian asks if it is for the title and Hunter says no. Christian says this is unacceptable.
Dolph says that he figures that Hunter isn’t going to do the right thing. Last week, Dolph got beaten so he will defend it this week against the man who beat him last week. Hunter says that he hopes that Zack Ryder wins the title tonight.
Dolph and Vickie storm out of the ring.
Hunter tells Cody that because he has a zipper on the side of his head, he gets the night off. Cody says that with all due respect, he says that Hunter is a poor excuse for a COO. Hunter says that is a great idea that Cody defends the Intercontinental Title tonight. Cody says that Hunter should resign. Hunter says that Cody will have to face the first nine men he finds in a ten man battle royal.
