We are at the Thunderdome in Orlando, Florida and your announcers are Michael Cole and Corey Graves.

We begin with Miz and John Morrison and the Dirt Sheet.

Miz says tonight they expose the truth behind Bayley's attack on Sasha Banks.  He reveals why WWE tried to erase Sami Zayn from its history about the Intervcontienal Title.  Miz says we will find out about the Samoan family secrets of Jey Uso.

Miz says he wants to start off by talking about the sudden departure of Mandy Rose.  Morrison says it is so scandalous you need to see it.

We see Miz announcing that Mandy Rose has been traded to Raw during Talking Smack.

Miz says people have accused him of being vindictive and that they have a problem with Otis.  Miz says people think they are trying to break up Otis and Mandy.  Miz says he is not playing mind games with Otis or using his power and influence to get revenge on Otis.  He knows what pressure it takes to have the Money in the Bank briefcase.  You need to take advantage of every opportunity around him.  With his girlfriend out of the way, he can focus on the briefcase and cashing in.  Miz says he took away the one thing that kept him from propelling to the top.  Otis might be heartbroken and he can get over it.  Miz says Mandy is already over it on Raw.

Lacey Evans' music plays and she makes her way to the stage.

Lacey wants to know if this is Doctor Phil.  Lacey mentions that Alexa is talking about her changes and then she pulls out her special tissues and asks if she is going to talk about her feelings.  Lacey says Nikki should be thanking Alexa for leaving the ring and putting her off her game.  That is the only reason you won last week.  You can make all of the speeches you want because it won't get you ready for your match against Bayley.  You are too nice.  You don't have the mean streak that Bayley has. That is why you will never beat Bayley.

Nikki takes Lacey's tissue and then blows her nose with it and gives it back to Lacey.
