- We go right to the ring and The Miz is out with John Morrison for another must see edition of MizTV. They do their usual schtick and introduce tonight's guest. Out comes Jeff Hardy to a pop from the developmental trainees in the crowd.

They welcome Hardy and Miz says he has a clip for us to see. Hardy has no clip and knows nothing about it. Miz says that's OK because he has a clip. He leads us to a video package on the recent Hardy vs. Sheamus feud, including Sheamus raising a toast to Hardy last Friday and trying to get him to drink alcohol.

Morrison goes on about the symbolism – Hardy will fight Sheamus and his alcoholism at the same time. Hardy says Sheamus must have put Miz and Morrison up to this. Sheamus probably thinks Jeff will crumble in a Bar Fight but he's wrong.

Hardy accepts the challenge from Sheamus. He also wants a match tonight. He says Miz and Morrison can't invite him on their show, mock him in his face, and not get punched in their face.
