We are back and Pearce is in the back trying to calm down all of the tag teams and Woods wants to know what about them.

Pearce says they cannot do it tonight.  It will happen next week in a Tag Team Turmoil match.

Tozawa has the local NFL Legacy belt and he scares people with his dancing.

Nick Aldis shows up and he says they should talk.

Miz is in the ring and he says before Gunther comes out, he wants to talk about one word that embodies what this industry is about.  It is something he strives for.  Respect.  Respect for the superstars and the WWE Universe.  Miz says respect for everyone in the locker room and that comes to Gunther's lack of respect for everything he has done.

Gunther shows no respect for Miz by having his music play and his arrival to the ring.

Gunther tells Mike he wants to clarify things.  It isn’t a lack or respect.  He has no respect for Miz.  This ring is sacred and is for fighting.  You are just an entertainer.

Miz says that you are saying that like it is a negative.  Miz says he is an entertainer.  He says he is a WWE superstar because he does it in and out of the ring.  They were larger than life when he grew up.  People like Randy Savage, Rick Rude, Mr. Perfect, Shawn Michaels.  Miz says he wanted to be the kid who Bret Hart gave his sunglasses to.  He did this for twenty years so he could hold the title his heroes hold.  The people those people are still remembered is because they are not a one note robot like you.

Gunther says Miz is very entertained and he is amused by Miz.

Miz says he has been to the top of the mountain and has been knocked down many times. He has built himself back up and he will do whatever it takes to survive and to win.  Miz says we don’t know much about Gunther.  We won’t know who Gunther really is until he hits bottom.  Then we will know if he deserves their respect.  Will you climb again and go back to the top or will you be another cog in the machine with zero charisma.  If you don’t respect me now, I will beat it into you and I will become a nine time Intercontinental Champion.

Gunther says people think he is going to face a twenty year veteran, but he will be facing little Mike Mizanin a boy who was bullied for idolizing the people he mentioned.  After high school, you pursued a career as a WWE Superstar and you met your heroes.  You were bullied and told that you didn’t belong in this sport. 

Now we are twenty years later and things have not changed.  You do not belong in this sport.  You do not belong in his ring.  You belong behind the guardrail like all of the other weirdos who are just like you.

Gunther says yelling three random letters shows that you are insignificant just like little Mike.  Gunther says Miz hasn't been bullied enough.  

Gunther tells Mike to do something and defend himself.  Gunther pie faces Miz and bumps him.  

Miz punches Gunther but Gunther with a kick and Miz goes down.  Gunther holds the belt in Miz face but Miz with a low kick.

Miz signals for the Skull Crushing Finale and hits it.

Miz picks up the title belt and holds it in Gunther's face.

Seth walks up to Jey and he tells him no disrespect.  Seth tells Jey they need the advantage going into War Games.  You have been in that match and won the match.  You get that advantage and come back in one piece.

Jey says he has Seth.

We go to commercial.

Rhea wishes Drew luck.
