Opening
James Ellsworth was sick and can't compete. So a four way elimination match was planned for the main event to decide the new number one contender for the WWE World Championship
We go right to the ring and WWE Intercontinental Champion The Miz is in with Marysefor another episode of MizTV. He puts over his guest and introduces AJ Styles. Out comes the WWE Champion.
Miz brings up Ellsworth not being able to wrestle tonight. AJ says it looks like he came down with a case of chin-fluenza. Styles says they did Ellsworth a favor by giving him the night off but eventually AJ is going to destroy Ellsworth in the ring. AJ goes on about what he's done and asks Miz who else is on his level. Miz says AJ is right but there's only one other Superstar that has restored prestige to his title. Miz says he has taken the Intercontinental Title and made it legendary. No offense, but Miz says AJ hasn't beat Ellsworth and he's been battling Dean Ambrose for months. Miz says he just beat Ambrose last week. AJ asks what's the point. Miz says AJ is right, he's not on AJ's level - he's above it. They stand up and face off. Miz says maybe it's time he made the WWE Title legendary. They get ready to fight but the music hits and out comes Ambrose.
Before anything can happen or Ambrose can speak, Dolph Ziggler's music hits and out he comes. Ziggler calls them paper champions and says they can't win without cheating. Miz comes in from the apron but Ziggler kicks him. Miz ends up dropping him with a Skull Crushing Finale. Ambrose hits Miz with a Dirty Deeds. AJ backs off as Ambrose stares at him from the ring. Ambrose nails Dirty Deeds on Ziggler. A graphic similar to The Wyatt Family's flashes and Harper appears with a massive clothesline on Ambrose. Harper points out at AJ. The graphic flashes again and that's it for the segment.
