Rey was greeted by “619” chants from the crowd. He noted that almost a year ago in that very arena
he was put on the shelf. He said it was great to be able to say, in his hometown: “I’m back.” Del Rio
quickly interrupted. Del Rio called Mysterio a “Chihuahua”. He told Rey that he shouldn’t pick a fight
against him. Del Rio bragged about almost ending Rey’s career and said he can finish the job now.
Instead, he told Mysterio to leave his ring. Del Rio said he wants to talk about Sheamus and what he
did at Money in the Bank. Mysterio said Sheamus but Del Rio’s face in. Del Rio once again
threatened to end Mysterio’s career, but was interrupted by Dolph Ziggler’s music. He walked out

his cash-in at MITB. Ziggler and Del Rio turned their attention to Mysterio, but Sheamus came out to
even things up Sheamus said it was good to see Rey back then threatened to put Ziggler and Del Rio
in the Pacific Ocean. Instead, he opted for a fight right now. Del Rio backed out of the ring and
Ziggler didn’t seem pleased. Sheamus took Ziggler down and Mysterio set up for the 619, but Ziggler
escaped. Sheamus and Rey celebrated in the ring.

THE PEEP SHOW ( IN RING SEGMENT)
Chrstian + Daniel Bryan & A.J. Lee + Kane: Christian was already in the ring for the Peep Show. He
said he’s seen a lot in his time in WWE, but bizarre was taken to another level on Monday. A clip of
the proposal then aired. Christian introduced Bryan and A.J. to the live crowd. Christian first asked
how the wedding planning was going. She introduced a montage of them doing their wedding
planningBryan answered Christian’s question of whether or not he’s sure he wants to do this with
a “yes,” and A.J. responded in kind to Christian’s query about if A.J. had completely forgiven Bryan
for everything he has done to her. Christian turned his attention to the fans and asked them if they
thought Daniel and A.J. should get married or if Bryan loves A.J. They’d yell “no” but didn’t chant it
like I think WWE was going for. Christian asked A.J. if she had any idea what she was doing. She
slapped Christian and the couple went to leave. Christian said he’s married so he’ll let the Bridezilla
slap go. He then said Bryan has been so busy planning his wedding, he probably didn’t hear about
being scheduled for a match tonight.…right now..Kane.

top of the ramp, Bryan and A.J. made out.
