We are in Kansas City, Missouri and your announcers are Mauro Ranallo, Byron Saxton, and Jerry Lawler.
We begin with Chris Jericho and the return of the Highlight Reel.
We see why the Highlight Reel is back and the end of the Ambrose Asylum on Raw.
Chris says before he gets to his guest, he wants to talk about what happened to Dean Ambrose. When Dean started to tangle with Chris, he thought he could be zany, wacky, and funny. When he smashed that twenty pound ceramic blunt object over his back, it wasn’t funny any more. Dean was in a St. Louis hospital with bulging discs and signs of whiplash so Dean is not here tonight. Dean will not run down the ramp in five minutes or make a surprise entrance because of Chris. We don’t know when Dean will be back. Maybe he will be gone for good because it is a new era. It is his era. He will give everyone what they need. He is going to give everyone the gift of Jericho so drink it in.
Chris brings out his guest, Sami Zayn.
Chris shows everyone what Sami did on Monday night during Raw.
Chris asks Zayn even though his good friend Kevin Owens beat you fair and square at Payback, you continue to attack him. He tells Zayn that makes him a sore loser. Then you take Miz’ Intercontinental Title and hold it over your head. That makes you a dirty thief. Chris asks Sami what kind of a human being is he.
Sami says he is a pretty good human being. Sami says that they would probably agree that Jericho’s scarf makes him look stupid. Sami has no problem with the fact that he lost at Payback. It was what Kevin did after the match. He slapped him and threw him out of the ring like a piece of garbage. If you treat him that way, he is not going away easily.
He was not trying to steal the Intercontinental Title . . .
Miz’ music interrupts and he makes his way to the ring with Maryse.
Chris reminds Miz that this is not MizTV, it is the Highlight Reel.
Miz tells Jericho his show can wait because he is the Intercontinental Title. Maryse remind Chris that it is Miz Intercontinental Championship. Miz is the only one who has earned the right to hold this title over his head because he is the champion. He says he gets it. You rode Kevin Owens’ coattails into the WWE and you want to ride his. On Monday, you interfered in his business and you put your dirty mitts on his baby. If you ever lay a finger on her like you did on Raw.
Sami touches the title belt and he wants to know if that is what Miz meant. Sami says he is sorry and he asks Miz if he wants to clarify things.
Chris says if someone touched his $15,000 jacket like someone touched his title, he would do something.
Sami asks Chris if he spent $15,000 to look like a walking Christmas Tree.
Chris says that he is out of here and he storms out of the ring.
Sami says that takes care of one jackass.
Miz says Sami has no respect. Do you think you are special because you are this new era of superstar? All you have done is splash around in kiddie pools. He has been in this big pool for 11 years. He has fought them all. There is a reason why he is the Intercontinental Title. You better show him some respect or you will be dealing with the biggest and baddest shark.
Sami touches the title belt again. He tells Miz to go for a swim.
Maryse tells Sami that is enough and then she say that her husband is going to teach Sami a lesson.
Sami says that is a great idea. Since he is here right now and you are here right now. Sami says that if Kansas City is ready to party, let’s do this right here and right now.
