Dolph Ziggler’s music plays and he makes his way to the stage. He wants to break up the hen party. They are losing fact of the real story here. John Cena cannot deal with the fact that he tackled John Cena through a bathroom wall and he just took it. For some reason, completely unprovoked, John cheap shotted him on Smackdown. That did not sit right with him.
Why would John Cena resort to such cowardly tactics. Dolph says that it hit him. He knows what is eating John Cena inside. Last week, when he kissed AJ and she jumped in his arms and shoved her tongue down her throat, Cena knows that AJ was thinking about Dolph the entire time.
John says that he knows that he is going to walk up there and shove that briefcase down his throat.
Vickie says that it will be settled tonight in the ring. Dolph Ziggler will face John Cena tonight.
