We see photos of Sheamus and Cesaro attacking The Hardy Boyz following their loss at WWE Payback last night. We then see slow motion footage of Sheamus kicking Jeff Hardy’s tooth out. Coming up next, we’ll hear why Sheamus and Cesaro attacked The Hardy Boyz.

*Commercial Break*

Sheamus and Cesaro are booed by the crowd as they make their way to the ring. Sheamus begins by thanking the crowd for it. He says he has been living under an illusion and adds that he never liked the crowd because they treat him like a red-headed step child. He then goes on to say that Cesaro loved the fans and believed in them until WrestleManian when the Hardyz stole their moment. The European duo gets drowned out by a chant of “DELETE”.

Cesaro then takes the mic and says that the crowd does not appreciate the present and only care about the past and the future. He goes on to then call the Hardyz a novelty act and Sheamus chimes in by saying, “That’s the tooth of it” and they laugh. Sheamus says that the WWE is their territory, and that they don’t set the bar, they are the bar! Sheamus and Cesaro turn to leave but…

The Hardy Boyz make their way to the stage. Matt Hardy is using his BROKEN accent. Hardy says it’s illuminating to see how they believe these asinine assurdities. Hardy says they were hurting from the ambush and want to give them their response. Their response is… Matt puts the microphone down and signals to the crowd, “DELETE!” They charge the ring, but Sheamus and Cesaro flee the ring.

*Commercial Break*

We’re backstage and Charly Caruso asks Miz about his match tonight, Miz goes on about how he’s always prepared. However, he is then stopped by Ambrose who takes the mic and asks Miz how he keeps the hair gel out of his eyes while he wrestles. Miz looks appalled and turns away with his wife.
