Chris Jericho makes his way to the ring for the Highlight Reel and he has the Jeritron 6000.
He welcomes everyone to the Highlight Reel for the first time on Main Event. Unfortunately, the Miz was supposed to be his guest tonight, but he was injured on Raw. We get the monkeys to show us what Antonio did to Miz.
Chris calls it a vicious beat down. He has another guest who has equal or greater value.
Chris is about to introduce his guest but Ricardo Rodriguez comes into the ring to do the official introduction for Alberto Del Rio.
Alberto thanks Chris for having him on his show tonight. He does not want to talk about Big Show because the time for talking is over. He will beat the Big Show on Sunday to remain the World Champion.
Chris wishes Alberto luck because someone needs to take down the big and stinky Big Show. Chris says that he has a link to Alberto and his family. Alberto’s father took care of him when he was wrestling in Mexico.
Chris says that if and when he wins at the Elimination Chamber, he will face Alberto at Wrestlemania. Chris says that he will beat Alberto at Wrestlemania to become the new World Champion.
Alberto tells Chris that will not happen.
Chris says that he hablas Espanol tambien.
They go back and forth and then Ricardo makes it un Triple Threato. Ricardo takes over the conversation and he talks too fast.
Chris wants to know what Ricardo just said and that is a cue for Dolph Ziggler to make his way to the ring with AJ Lee and Big E Langston.
Dolph wants to know how many times he has to come out here to say that they are wasting their time talking about the World Title if they are not mentioned.
AJ tells Dolph he needs to tell them again.
Chris says that Dolph has told us 87 times, or the same number as the amount of mouths AJ has had her tongue down with WWE Superstars.
AJ and Big E do not appreciate Chris’ comments.
Chris wonders what the ‘Big E’ stands for. He suggests Big Easter Bunny? Big Elephant? Big Ears? Big Ego? Big Emu? Big Edward? Big Eggs? Big F Hutton? Big Excrement? Big Urkel?
Dolph tells Langston not to get upset whether it is someone who thinks they are going to win the Elimination Chamber or someone who thinks they will get past the Big Show at The Elimination Chamber. Dolph says that some time between now and Wrestlemania, he will cash in and become the World Champion.
Alberto tells Dolph that it is time for someone to teach him a lesson. That someone is him. He says that he will do it right now.
Chris has an idea. He asks the people of Little Rock if they want to see Dolph Ziggler versus Alberto Del Rio.
It looks like we have a match.
