EXCUSE ME! Vickie Guerrero announces Dolph Ziggler. Piper was rambling in the ring during the whole introduction. Ziggler asks Piper how long he has been doing the same tired routine? Ziggler says it is sad, and Piper mocks Ziggler for wearing pink. Ziggler then tells Jericho he will end up deranged like Piper. How many failed comebacks does it take for Jericho to realize that he cannot get it done anymore. After he beats Jericho Sunday, take the light up jacket and hang it with Piper's kilt, because they are finished. Jericho then mocks Ziggler's hair, and then tells Vickie to shut the hell up. Piper says to save it for Sunday. Jericho says he has not forgotten Vickie slapping him on Smackdown, but he says that on Sunday he will prove them all wrong. He will beat him, and that is a guarantee.
The Miz now makes his way out to the ring as Piper mumbles "Y2J" repeatedly. Jesus, is he lit? Miz does his really shtick, and Piper I believe called him a frog in there somewhere. Miz says he and Ziggler can win the big ones, as they both won MITB previously, and Miz won in the main event of WM 27 and he also won the IC Title a few weeks back. Miz doesn't care about fan voting, and says he will tae over the show. He says Dolph can be the guest and tells Piper and Jericho to get the hell out of the ring. Piper refuses to leave and Jericho attacks. He tosses Miz and Ziggler, and stands tall with Piper.
