Jackie Redmond is in LOCKER ROOM with Sheamus and she asks him what is going on between him and Pete.

Rhea tells Liv if you want him to come get him.

Liv's music plays and she appears at the aisle in the concourse.  Liv says she is not coming to the ring because she has some self control.  She says she waited for her all this time and she can wait until SummerSlam.  She says she came out in the first place and the reason is obvious.  She says she has feelings for Dominik.  Dominik has feelings for her.  Liv says you know why you can't deny that because gorgeous men like Dominik don't go for girls who look like Rhea.  Gorgeous men like Dominik go for girls who look like her.

Dom tries to stop Rhea and Rhea tells Dom to let go of her.  

Dom wants Rhea to hear him out.

Liv starts to cry and she walks into the concourse.

Rhea grabs Dom by the hair and whispers something in his ear and she kisses Dom.

Dom has 'that look' on his face as they leave the ring together.

Isla asks if that is why Zelina beat your girl.

Sonya says that Zelina and those girls made the biggest mistake of their career.  Sonya says they are the team that will take the titles from Isla and Alba.

We go to a Gunther video package.  He talks about impressive champions who were affected by shattered egos.  They shrink when given the title.  This is why WWE needed him and this is why the title needs him.  To create a new mountain top.  Seth did a great job elevating the title.  Being the workhorse drove him into the group.  Drew could barely hold on to the title because of CM Punk.  Priest's foundation is starting to crack and his dream is slipping away.  When looking at the cast of challengers, it is disgusting.  He cannot stand someone who wants the crowd to sing with him or say a clever line.  

Gunther says he is the only one who can restore the prestige to this title and take it to a level never seen before.  Gunther says Damian will fail at teaching him a lesson.  Gunther says he will show the dominance and prestige this sport needs.  He will become the World Champion at SummerSlam.
