Corey Graves: This match was supposed to take place last week, but due to the Varsity Club attacking Miz, it was rearranged for tonight as per the instructions of our General Manager Chris Jericho.
Joey Styles: The Varsity Club are banned from ringside tonight, so hopefully this time there will be no more shenanigans!
"I Came To Play" by Downstait hit and The Miz came out first. "Metalingus" by Alter Bridge hit and Edge made his way to the ring next. Edge was wearing a t-shirt that said "Please Update Your Account to Enable 3rd Party Hosting".
Joey Styles: What's with that t-shirt, Corey?
