Winner:  Natalya

After the match, Natalya is asked about wrestling for the title at SummerSlam.  Natalya says Lexie sucks.  She says it is amazing how much changes in a year.  She will be going back to her home country of Canada to face her friend for the Raw Women's Championship. 

Becky says Natalya's friend has something to say.  Becky says she is hurting but she came here to fight.  She tells Natalya it is time to drop the smiles.  If you think you are facing your friend when you come for her title, you are wrong.  Becky says she will wipe the floor with Natalya in her home country.  Becky says Natalya's career needs something and it is Becky.  Becky says she does a lot better in war than she does in love.

Natalya says she must not be a very good lover, bitch.  You want a war, you got a war.  She will rip that greasy orange mop off your head and pull the horseshoe out of your ass and beat the hell out of you.

We go to comments from Randy Orton.  After he wins tonight's battle royal, he has some unfinished business with Brock Lesnar to attend to.  He does not hold a grudge, but he has enough venom to take care of the beast with the three most dangerous letters in WWE, RKO.

Miz comes out for MizTV.

We go to commercial.

We are back and Miz brings out his guest, Dolph Ziggler.

Miz asks Dolph why did he ask for the time.  Dolph wanted to know if the rumors about Miz were true.  Dolph says Miz wanted to prove that he was the best and outworked everyone, but now he is a yes man who reads a teleprompter.  Miz wants to know if Dolph is trying to get a rise out of him and if he is trying to deal with Kofi and Kevin.

Dolph says Miz is just happy to be here, not trying to prove he is the best.  Was it worth it to kiss all that ass and not get on the pay per view last night.

Miz says he would rather not be on the pay per view than be booked and lose in seventeen seconds.  Dolph says that was bad, it was Goldberg bad.  Dolph says Miz has become everything he hates.  You are a gimmick and logo t-shirt.  Dolph says Miz is not from Hollywood, he is from Cleveland.  Dolph says that Miz is everything that Miz hated.  All you care about is fortune and fame, just like your wife.

Miz attacks Dolph and punches Dolph.

We go to Drake's hotel room and we see him getting ready to consummate the marriage.

We are back and we see what happened to Finn Balor after his loss to Samoa Joe.

We return to Drake and Renee's special night and Drake says Daddy is ready for love as he shows his homage to Ric Flair.  Renee asks Drake if he is wearing the title belt.  Renee gets the champagne from room service and it is the referee dressed like he is part of room serice and Drake realizes that he is the referee.  Drake looks for who it is who followed them.  Truth comes out from under the cart and Truth rolls up Drake but Drake kicks out.  Truth with a cross body onto the bed for the three count.
