MizTV sets up in the ring, Dolph Ziggler comes to the ring for a "Dolphumentary".

Miz: "Dolph, tonight is not about me, it's about you because the stakes could not be higher. It is about my title vs. your career. This Sunday, your career may be over, but it will not be forgotten. Let's take a look."

The documentary actually covers his entire career from Kerwin White's caddy, placing special emphasis on his failures. There are also a lot of edited together quotes.

Miz: "I gotta say, you cannot take a hint. If my career had gone like yours I'd have retired years ago."

"I'm not done yet, assface, I've still got this Sunday. I'm not going to stop, you know what? Because for every ten of those moments, I get one magic moment where a kid in the front row wears a Dolph Ziggler shirt and high fives me, says he'll never forget it, no, I'll never forget it. Or backstage with Make a Wish when a kid tells me he looks up to me. Or a few years ago, the night after Wrestlemania when I cashed in Money in the Bank, you know why the hair stands up on my arm? Because everyone in the audience stood up with me. But I came to a crossroads, I need to beat you, but you're forgetting that I've got one shred of dignity, in the pit of my stomach that says you're not taking this away from me, not tonight, not Sunday, not ever! I know all bad things must come to an end, but I'm not done yet!"

"Yes you are. This Sunday, your career comes to an end, because of me. But don't worry, I've got just the thing to raise your spirits."

The Spirit Squad hit the ring. Or at least... I think that's actually Kenny Dykstra. And one of the other guys.

Spirit Squad: "S-P-I-R-I-T! D-we got your D, we got your D! O! We got your O, we got your O! (etc.) Your career is good, your career is fine! Beat the Miz, join the unemployment line!"

Miz: "I wish there could be more of you, but two of them got lost in transit when you got sent to OVW. But this actually represents a spot for you. Nicky rejoins the spirit squad! Think of all the $5 autograph sessions you can do now!"

Dolph: "You wanna go right now?"

Miz: "Sic 'im!"

Kenny and... apparently Mikey attack him and hit the giant collective toss move they used to do. Miz calls for more, Kenny whips Mikey into Ziggler in the corner, who counters into a superkick, superkick for Kenny coming off the top rope, Miz tries to run in, Ziggler goes for a superkick, scares him off.

Bray is still in the crate, says he's found it. He sits in the chair.

Nikki Bella vs. Carmella is official for Sunday.

After a commercial, AJ Styles hits the ring. "Ladies and gentlemen, the champ is here! they say Smackdown Live is the land of opportunity, and I would have to agree. At Summerslam, I had the opportunity to beat John Cena, and I did. At Backlash, I had the opportunity to beat Dean Ambrose and become WWE Champion, and I did that too. And at No Mercy, I have the opportunity to beat John Cena and Dean Ambrose at the same time, and become the--"

Dean Ambrose hits the ring. "To become what? The clown who runs the town? The pest that runs the nest? The chump--"

"That what? The chump that what? Spit it out?"

"That's it. Just the chump. You worked hard for fifteen years to get here ,no one respects that more than me, but you had one hurdle, one more mountain to climb, and you took the easy way out. You might have beat me clean, might have been a huge moment for you. But you didn't. And that's not why I'm mad, that's not why I'm out here. I'm mad because last week, I had you pinned for about 25 seconds, but John Cena had to interfere because he couldn't deal with the fact that I beat him two weeks ago, couldn't deal with the fact that a lowlife like me was about to win the WWE Championship right in front of his face. John Cena should be thanking me for binging the WWE Championship to Smackdown so he could even have a chance to break Ric Flair's record--"

John Cena hits the ring.

AJ: "Shut up! Just shut up! We all know what you're about to say, you're chasing history, you're going for Ric Flair's record. How dare you? How dare you compare yourself to a legend like Ric Flair? You don't even belong in the same conversation as Ric Flair. But you should be worried about AJ Styles. Because you chase history, I make history. So let's hear it, your little rara John Cena speech, everyone cheer for John Cena, the WWE World Champion is going to sit over here and watch John Cena embarrass himself like you did at Summerslam."

Cena starts to speak.

Dean: "Stop. I know what you're going to say. You're going to say you didn't screw me, I screwed myself, you're going to spin it to where the guy who gets screwed twice is the bad guy. You're the master of the political spin, you've been doing it for years, it's how you've stayed on top, any time someone is a threat to you, you undercut them, you cut the legs out from underneath them. You've been trying to do it to me since day 1, but it won't work, because I outworked you from day 1. You think you work harder than me just because you take your days off to fly on a private jet? Check my record, zero sick days, zero days on the injured reserve list, more matches than anyone else this year, more matches than anyone last year. But I guess you don't respect that. I never played by your rules. You never respected that I wasn't one of those guys who came into the company, kissed your ass, asked you for advice. So if that's what it takes, Mr. Suckass Behind the Scenes, I'm going to sit over here being Dean Ambrose. Have fun being the guy who plays John Cena on TV."

Cena: "Talk is cheap."
