The Dirt Sheet With The Miz, John Morrison, and Heavy Machinery

John Morrison: Welcome to Friday Night SmackDown inside the visually scintillating WWE ThunderDome. I’m John Morrison, the most important part of your complete and balance breakfast.

The Miz: And i’m the most must see WWE Superstar of all time, The Miz, and this is “The Dirt Sheet”.

John Morrison: And hereon the dirt sheet, it is our honor, our duty to keep loyal fans of the greatest tag team of the 21st century, up to speed on what’s going down here in the WWE Universe.

The Miz: And just like always, we’re not afraid to give you the intel, the low down, the gossip, the BTS, dare I say, the dirt.

John Morrison: And we’re not talking about Otis tighty whities.

The Miz: Oh, no, we’re talking about the biggest secrets in WWE, the biggest stories. Tonight, we expose the truth behind Bayley’s savage attack on her former best friend, Sasha Banks.

John Morrison: So, dirty.

The Miz: We reveal the reason WWE management tried to erase the one true Intercontinental Champion Sami Zayn from history.

John Morrison: Did someone say, dirty?

The Miz: We also dig into the Samoan Family secrets, Jey Uso so desperately tries to bury.

John Morrison: Secrets that needs to take a bath, because they’re d-i-r-t-y, dirty.

The Miz: But, first, we’re talking about the biggest story. I’m talking the hottest of the hot gossip. Of course, I am talking about, the sudden and shocking SmackDown departure of The Golden Goddess, Mandy Rose.

John Morrison: It was so scandalous, that you need to see it to believe it.

The Miz: Now, people see that and have excused me of being vindictive, that John and I have a problem with Otis, that I am trying to break up Otis and Mandy. So, let me clear the air, I am not playing mind games with Otis. I am not using my considerable power and influence to get some petty revenge, I’m simply trying to help Otis. As a former, Mr. Money In The Bank, I know the pressures that comes with carrying that contract. You must be on high alert. You have to look for every opportunity, possible. And, Otis couldn’t possibly do that with his girlfriend Mandy Rose around, so I made it easy for him. I sent Mandy away. And now Otis can focus on cashing in his contract.

John Morrison: Or I guess he could just give it to me?

The Miz: My point is, Otis should be thanking me. I sent away, the one true obstacle, that was keeping him from propelling him to the top of WWE. And let me just say this. Sure, Otis is heartbroken, but he’ll get over it. And, from what I hear from my friends over ON Raw, Mandy already has.

John Morrison: Oh yeah, the guys over there want to do a lot more than just smell that rose.

The Miz: Yeah, Ziggler is there.

John Morrison: Didn’t they used to date?

The Miz: I mean, they Netflix and Chilled.

A Moment Of Bliss With Special Guest: Nikki Cross and Lacey Evans 

Alexa Bliss: Welcome everyone to the first Moment Of Bliss in the Thunderdome. Now, normally, my guest would be sitting here, in the co-host chair. But after what happened last week, I needed to get her in the hot seat. Please welcome, the women who will be challenging Bayley for the SmackDown Women’s Championship at Clash Of Champions, my best friend, Nikki Cross.

Now, Nikki, as your friend, I first wanted to say, congratulations, I’m so happy for you.

Nikki Cross: Thank you, Lexi.

Alexa Bliss: But, you know what the show is all about, and you know me, I have no filter. So, I need to ask the questions they want to know.

Nikki Cross: Okay, I’m ready, I can handle it.

Alexa Bliss: So, my question is, what is your plan of action for this match? I mean, it has to be different, right? Because, if we’re being honest, the majority of the summer, you challenged Bayley and you lost. In fact, you haven’t beaten Bayley since last year.

Nikki Cross: Wow, you weren’t kidding.

Alexa Bliss: Hey, i’m just doing my job.

Nikki Cross: No, I get it. And i’m gonna tell you and the entire WWE Universe, why this is different. It’s different because there’s no Sasha Banks, watching over Bayley. Every single time I’ve faced Bayley, I felt like I had to have eyes on the back of my head. And now I can just focus on defeating Bayley and giving her that beating, that she deserves. And I saw what Bayley did to Sasha. Her best friend, I saw what she did to her with that steel chair. And I can still feel that chair of hers on my back, from last week. And she was so proud of that. There was so much contempt in her eyes. You know what, Bayley? You want to take cheap shots? Fine. Come Clash Of Champions, Nikki Cross will become the new WWE SmackDown Women’s Champion. Does that answer your question?

Alexa Bliss: It sure does.

Nikki Cross: Good. Now that we have that settled, I actually got a question for you, Lexi.

Alexa Bliss: What’s up?

Nikki Cross: Lex, what’s going on with you?

Alexa Bliss: What do you mean?

Nikki Cross: Last week, Lexi, of all the things you could’ve hit me with, you hit me with The Sister Abigail and then you just walk off?

Alexa Bliss: I don’t know how to explain it. I don’t know how to explain it, because I don’t fully understand it, Nikki. I feel like there’s some kind of change and I can’t even control it. And I don’t even know how to handle it, half the time.

Lacey Evans: Lord, would you look at them? A couple of nasties out here, jaw jacking. What is this, Dr. Phil? Alexa, you’re changing, huh? What else are we gonna sit out here and talk about, your feelings? Please. And, you, you nasty thing, instead of sitting out here asking your friend some questions, what you should be doing is getting on your knees, thanking her. Because when she walked away from that match, which I’m sure you remember, she simply made me get off of my game. It’s the only reason why you won that Fatal Four Way, last week. And you can do all the speeches in the world that you want to, sweetheart, but it will not prepare you to get back in that ring with Bayley. Because, Bayley has something you will never have, hunny, and that’s a mean streak. You’re too nice, Nikki. You’re too nice, you’re too short, you’re too weak, and you damn sure don’t have a backbone, hunny. Which is why you will never beat Bayley.

Nikki Cross: Too Nice?

Cross mocks Evans. Cross starts brawling with Evans to close the segment.

Paul Heyman Promo 

The world of sports entertainment has seen many rich storied bloodlines. But perhaps none greater than the one which i’ve had the pleasure of rendering services for than that of The Anaoi Family. It is a legacy, spanning 40 years. Your tribal chief and Reignsing, defending, undisputed Universal Heavyweight Champion, Roman Reigns comes from a line of royalty. From the legendary, Wild Samoans, featuring his uncle, Afa and his father, Sika. To titans like the great Yokozuna. The most electrifying man in all of entertainment, The Rock. Warriors like the fearsome Umaga. And charismatic icons, like Rikishi, father to none other than Roman’s challenger, Jey Uso.

Roman Reigns dominance is not just his will, but his birth right. From the day Roman inherited the torch of his family legacy, he has made them proud with victory after championship victory. Meanwhile, Jey has done a respectable job, himself, as a tag team champion with help from his brother, Jimmy. These two men have fought their whole loves. Cousins who may as well be brothers. From the living room, to the football field, to the squared circle. At Clash Of Champions: Gold Rush, this battle of the bloodline will be fought with honor and with pride. But make no mistake, they may all feast at the same table, but there is only one ruler in this dynasty, and he is the tribal chief, and your Universal Champion, Roman Reigns.

Sasha Banks Interview 

Michael Cole: Sasha, it’s been two week since the heinous, vicious, malicious attack at the hands of your former best friend, Bayley. Sasha, what is the extent of your injuries?

Sasha Banks: I’m still here, ain’t I?

Michael Cole: You know, last week, we heard from Bayley, who blamed you for the attack, saying that you were just waiting for the right time to strike, Bayley. That for years, you kept her close, pretending to be her best friend, but all along, you were using her.

Sasha Banks: And now I am nothing to her. She was using me, and now i’m just useless to her. I heard every single word Bayley said last week. And I can’t help but to be filled with emotions, as I sit here at the Performance Center, a place that we built, a place that we train every single day together, talking about our dreams, talking about our goals, talking about what we wanted to do, together. We used to walk these halls, just to talk about everything we have achieved now. This whole summer, here at the Performance Center, we showed the world, and we told the world that we were gonna take over the whole damn company, together.

And now when I walk these halls, when I go to the locker room, when I see all these girls that come here now, it’s because we did that, together. All these rooms, all our posters, all our pictures, all our accomplishments, we did all of this, together. And if these walls can talk. You know, I came here this week to answer your questions. You want to say that I think you’re some type of idiot? That I think you’re naive? Bayley, I know that you’re watching this, and you’re damn straight, you are an idiot, you are naive, because you are nothing without me. You’re nothing without me. So, since I’m useless to you now, one day, i’m gonna take the one thing that you love, your SmackDown Women’s Championship.
