He then says he stands with the WWE Championship because he deserves it, and that he demanded respect and not asked for it. Suddenly, MVP and Bobby Lashley show up. MVP congratulates Miz on behalf of The Hurt Business (MVP, Lashley, Shelton Benjamin, Cedric Alexander), then mentions that Miz omitted Bobby Lashley wrecking and destroying Drew McIntyre, allowing him to cash in the Money in the Bank Briefcase. Miz says he was going to that, then thanks him before saying that he and Morrison will be on their way to more partying, but MVP says that Miz made a deal with Hurt Business where Miz owes Lashley a title shot.

As Miz says John Morrision is chomping at the bit for an opportunity, MVP tells Miz he does not have deals with other Superstars, but Miz insists he needs more time and says that he wants to give his best effort as that is what the WWE Championship deserves.

Shane makes a match between Braun and Lashley, and if Braun wins, Braun will face Lashley and Miz for the WWE Championship in a Triple Threat Match next week.

Johnny Impact shows up to start tonight's show. Johnny says he stuck to his promise of being a fighting champion and giving a shot at the Impact World Championship to anybody who deserved it, as that was what he wanted to see when he watched wrestling as a kid. He says that the wrestling business is what we make it, and while things have not always been going his way, he can still look downhill from the top of the mountain and answered the questions after retaining at Homecoming, shutting three mouths and closing a chapter. After Johnny says it is time for the next contender, Moose shows up. Moose says all he hears backstage is Johnny Impact crying and whinng, and tells him he is a crybaby and the worst champion Impact Wrestling has ever had. He says the only reason he is not World Champion is because of Killer Kross - who he thought was his best friend - and "The Machine" Brian Cage. Suddenly, Killer Kross shows up. Kross calls Moose a "defiler," a "betrayer" and a "son of a bitch," and says Moose should know better than anybody else not to cross a killer, and says that dealing with him tests his patience. Johnny stops the argument that happens between Moose and Kross briefly, then Moose tells Kross he "benched" him for going against Johnny twice and says it is his time to become World Champion. Johnny says both Kross and Moose think they are both "A+ talent," but there is always an "A talent" and a "B talent," and both he and the fans would not mind a match between them to see who is the "A talent."

He then walks into a punch by Moose, then Johnny Impact calls for a match for an impromptu #1 contender's match.
