Renee Young Interviews Roman Reigns
Backstage, Roman Reigns loves thievery, as he was all smiles before Renee Young interviewed him. Reigns said that if Sheamus wants to teach him something about being a champion or a man then he will pass. He spoke about blistering the skin of Sheamus from chair shots. He said he is going to teach Sheamus to know what it’s like to be a former world champion (Oh, he knows). Anyway, Reigns said if Sheamus wants to teach him a lesson they will see who goes to school and who doesn’t.
Miz TV With Charlotte & Ric Flair
The broadcast team spoke at ringside and narrated footage of Charlotte vs. Becky Lynch from last week, and hyped Charlotte and Ric Flair on Miz TV for after the break… [C]
[Q9] The Miz hosted Miz TV. He said he wanted to surprise his guests with an appearance by Paige, but he said that will not be happening due to circumstances beyond his control. Miz introduced Charlotte and Ric Flair. The broadcast team hyped Charlotte vs. Paige for the Divas Championship at TLC.
Charlotte scolded Miz for not introducing a legend properly and said he might as well be Tyra Banks and quit his own show. Charlotte reintroduced her father by running through his accolades. They also showed off their Rolexes. Ric announced that he will be in Charlotte’s corner on Sunday at TLC.
Miz brought up Charlotte’s new attitude and said people have called her self-serving and egotistical. She asked why Miz was attacking her. She questioned whether it’s because she is doing what her father taught her or because she’s not a man. She told Miz that she feels sorry for his wife. Miz said his wife is an actor and an interviewer extraordinaire.
Miz said it wasn’t about him or his wife. Miz asked what Charlotte has to say in return to Paige. Ric shook his head no. Charlotte said that if she has anything to say she will say it on Sunday. Miz said her father taught her well. Miz said Paige said some of the most horrible things he has ever heard. He said this is Charlotte’s forum to respond, but she wants to turn it down. He questioned why she wouldn’t answer his question.
Flair said this isn’t Miz’s chance to grill Charlotte to get a ratings bump for Miz TV (lord knows Raw could use them). Miz continued to push. Charlotte said the only thing lower on the food chain than Miz is the backstabbing, two-faced Paige. Charlotte said she will destroy Paige for everything she has said about her and her family. She said Paige will be lucky if she ever steps foot in the ring again after Sunday.
Miz said he’s happy Charlotte said that. “Because guess who is actually here?” Paige walked out to a decent reaction and said she is here and she’s all Charlotte’s. Flair said it’s a ploy to upset Charlotte. Ric said they are Flairs and they are champions. Ric held the ropes open for Charlotte, who left the ring. Paige slapped Ric and then did a mock strut. “Get her,” Flair said. Charlotte attacked Paige, who quickly rolled to ringside. Paige’s music played.
