We are back and Miz says Johnny Gargano has accused him of keeping a secret between him and he who shall not be named. Miz is right. He has been keeping a secret. A lunatic shows up on Raw uninvited and gets carried away by security. The next week, he gets kidnapped and taken away from his tag team partner Tommaso Ciampa, who we have not seen. Miz says he was about to win the US title and he was shown why he was his target. It was not his A List status or his boyish good looks. He was targeted because of his mind.
It is not some Hannibal Lecter thing. Miz says when he chose to give a selfless act and share his expertise with an up and coming superstar, he cannot accept that he chose Tommaso Ciampa. Miz says that man thought about his revenge. He did not want Ciampa to know that he is the reason this is happening. Miz says Ciampa is his best friend and if you know anything about him, let him know.
Johnny Gargano comes out and says that is not what happened and Miz is full of crap. Johnny says your ‘friend’ isn’t missing. Johnny says he texted him a few minutes ago. Ciampa is out injured and Miz is a huge liar. If you want him and Lumis out of your life, all you have to do is tell the real truth. Or, you know what is going to happen. I have a whistle and I will blow it on you.
Miz tells Johnny that he has been telling the truth.
Speaking ‘Truth’, R Truth makes his way to the ring.
Truth says if you want to tell the truth, he is here.
Johnny says Truth has a point since he is the Truth.
Miz asks if Truth ate too much crappy Carolina comfort food to ruin your mind?
Miz says maybe he is the idiot to think that Charlotte could handle his reasoning.
Truth says it is one thing to drag him down and not tell him this big secret. You are not going to run down his home town’s mac and cheese. He asks the crowd if they want to see a good ole North Cackolacky butt whooping.
Johnny asks Miz if he thinks Truth is going to beat him. Johnny asks Miz if Dexter took his balls.
Miz says he wants Truth.
Truth and Johnny tell Miz he can’t handle the truth.
We go to commercial.

Cathy Kelley is in the back with Candice LeRae. She asks Candice if this is everything she expected coming back to WWE. She mentions being in NXT, then having a family, and now she is back on Raw. Candice says she knew this would be a challenge for her. She has gotten support from Alexa Bliss, Asuka, and Bianca Belair.
The Bayley Bunch shows up and Bayley has some questions for Candice. Who cares because they have taken care of Alexa and Asuka.
Candice wants to know what they are trying to prove. All you have proven is that Iyo is untrustworthy, Dakota is spiteful, and Bayley, you aren’t champion.
Bayley says not yet but you don’t have any friends around here.
