Miz is in the ring for MizTV. 

Miz says he beat Tommaso Ciampa last week and he is a winner.  Miz says he played in a golf tournament over the weekend.  Miz says his guest is on a downward spiral and he introduces Becky Lynch.

Miz brings up that Becky lost to Trish and then lost at Money in the Bank and then she lost last week.  Miz asks if she has lost a step.

Becky throws the chairs to the floor and she says she has lost a lot in the last year.  She says she lost titles and her mind, but she has not lost a step.  She says she knows how his stupid show works so he tells Miz to bring out Trish before he loses his tiny testicles.

Miz tells Becky that was a bit much and he thanks Becky for ruining the surprise.  Miz brings out Zoey Stark and Trish Stratus.

Becky says she wants her rematch.

Trish tells Becky to settle down and she is acting like a bratty toddler.  She says she thought it was Becky's daughter in the ring.  Why are you so obsessed with her?  Trish says she is not fighting Becky because she already won.  Zoey says she won too.  Trish says since she has come back, she beat Becky, you didn't win Money in the Bank, and Zoey beat you so they are done with Becky.  They are moving on.  Trish says there is something that they need so why not thank Trish.

Becky says Trish wants to feel high above everyone.  You are about being a psychopath.  You beat me at my weakest and you can't handle her at her strongest.  Becky says Trish did nothing for her.  Becky says she has been here longer and she has done more than Trish.  Becky says to prove it, why not face her or are you only good at running away and hiding behind Zoey?

Trish says she will accept the match, but under a few conditions.  First, Becky has to beat Zoey.  Second, when Zoey beats Becky, you will need to get on your knees and say Thank You Trish.  Third, Becky will need to tattoo Thank You Trish across her chest.
