We go to commercial.

We are back and Dean Ambrose and Seth Rollins ask two random people to be their partners.  They then see Dean Malenko and Jamie Noble but they are not dressed for action.  Dean says they are just the men they were looking for and it is the Hardys.  Matt says it is positively wonderful to see them.  Dean asks the Hardys if they are doing anything and Matt laughs.

Miz makes his way to the ring and he is accompanied by his wife Maryse, Bo Dallas, and Curtis Axel.  

Miz says he and Maryse have an announcement that will change WWE forever.  They have been thinking long and hard about how to announce this special news and there is no better place to announce it than to do it where they first met.  Maryse announces that they are going to have a baby.  Miz says he pledges to her that unlike Kurt Angle, he will be there with the child since day one.

Miz says he has a speech.  Fatherhood is a privilege that belongs to . . . 

Enzo's music interrupts and he makes his way to the ring.

Miz tells Enzo he interrupted a deeply personal moment between his wife and him.

Enzo says he wants to celebrate with Miz and his wife.  Miz tells Enzo not to 'how you doin' to his wife.  Miz says that Enzo doesn't think.  You and Cass were the next big thing and people loved you, but look at you now.  You don't know when to shut your mouth.  That is why you are kicked off tour buses and out of the locker room.  Do you think you chose to bring your personality to the cruiserweight division because there was nowhere else to go because no one on the roster likes you.  Miz says he has been in Enzo's shoes.  He was treated the same way, but he recreated himself.

Miz says that Enzo could have asked for advise.  Miz says he sees so much talent in him but Enzo keeps making mistake after mistake.  Do you think you can hang with Neville?  All he cares about is to perfect himself in the ring.  All you care about is hanging out with third rate rappers.  That is why you have to cheat.  When you are on the top rope, you fall flat on your face.  You don't have a seven foot meal ticket.  All you are is a con artist with a couple of catch phrases.

Enzo asks if Miz wants to get real.  Enzo says he is the realest guy in the room.  Enzo says that he and Mickey have something in common.  You have enemies in the back because you copied Chris Jericho and Ric Flair.  Enzo says he is an original while Miz is a carbon copy.  Enzo says he will become the Cruiserweight Champion and then he will come on Raw and beat Miz because he is a paper champion.

Miz asks rhetorically if he is a paper champion.  Miz asks Enzo if he is championship material because if he was, his best friend might not have abandoned him.  Enzo says he only needs two things to fight him right here, right now. 

Miz says you have no idea what you are getting into.  He will show Enzo how to walk, talk, and look like a champion.  Miz says he will dedicate his victory to his unborn child.  

We go to commercial.

Bo and Axel double team Enzo and the referee calls for the bell.

Winner:  Enzo Amore (by disqualification)
