We are back and Tiffany Stratton walks in the back. Kiana James stops Tiffany to talk to her about getting some back up to protect her. She suggests using Giulia. She says that she can be used to upgrade. A custom pink title belt. She offers Tiffany her card and Tiffany says she doesn't need back up.
Kiana says if you are not with us, you are against us. You have never beaten anyone like Giulia and because she has a title, she doesn't need another one.
Michin shows up and she tells Kiana that she has Giulia next.
Kiana says she will take that under advisement.
Drew McIntyre makes his way to the ring.
Drew looks around and he says people have been asking him why did you do what you did? Why did you Claymore Cody's head through the announce table? Drew says we need to see it again. Drew says to listen closely. He did not attack Cody Rhodes. Drew says your eyes are lyng to you and he will explain it. Drew asks Joe for the medical update since it has been a week.
Joe says there is no update.
Drew says maybe management is hiding it because of how severe it is. He says he does not hate Cody, he feels sorry for him. He needs that validation from you. He needs to know what management thinks of him. Drew says he was Cody five years ago. Then he evolved. When we retire, we are gone and you forget us and move on. You have to get yours while you can. He wants that title. He has been screwed so many times. He says he has earned it. He says he wants it for him and his family. He wants that big paycheck.
Cody needs that championship. Who is Cody without his story or title? That is why Cody did what he did last week.
Drew says he did not attack Cody last week. Cody attacked him. Do you remember? The AA happened and he broke up the cover. Cody knocked him to the floor. Drew says he was down on the floor when the DQ happened. When the match was over, Cody put his face into the ring post and then Cody cleaned off the table to put his arse through it. Drew says he defended himself. Why would he do that? Is it because he told Cody he would be the one to take the title from Cody. Cody is so good at pissing people off and Drew is so good at taking people out. If you provoke him, he will do very violent things. If you provoke him, he is the true nightmare.
