This week we will see a battle between the United States Champion and the Intercontinental Champion thanks to the challenge made last week.
This week’s show comes from North Charleston, South Carolina and your announcers are Michael ‘Spurrier’ Cole and The Miz.
Michael Cole announces that CM Punk underwent surgery due to a knee injury that the WWE says occurred when Ryback put Punk through a table. They will have more later tonight.
It is time to talk about the champion versus champion match and Miz says that Antonio Cesaro has a chance to be one of the all time greats.
We go back to last week when Antonio Cesaro claimed to be the greatest champion in WWE history only to be interrupted by Kofi Kingston.
Josh Mathews is in the back with Kofi Kingston and he asks Kofi why he challenged Antonio Cesaro. Kofi says that people know him as the man who flies around the ring beating people with a smile on his face. When he beat the Miz to become the Intercontinental Champion, it unleashed something in him. A different side. Something intense. When Antonio came out last week and he said that he was the greatest champion, the intensity made him do it. Once in a while, a wildcat has to show his teeth and drop the boom. Tonight is on of those nights.
We take a look at what happened on Raw when Antonio’s United States title was put on the line in a fatal four way match with R Truth, Kofi Kingston, and Wade Barrett.
We take a look at Antonio Cesaro with a video package.
We find out that Antonio Cesaro will face R Truth one more time for the United States title at TLC.
Antonio gets on the mic in the ring and he says that despite everyone’s best efforts, he is still the United States Champion. They put his title on the line on Monday hoping that he would lose. This is all that this country has come to. Empty hopes and dreams. Nobody wants to work hard any more. You would rather sit on your fat butts and let others do the work for them. He works hard and that is why he is our United States Champion.
He says that he does not hate the people, he pities them. He gladly welcomes the ‘USA’ chants because he has proven without a doubt that this is the United States of Antonio.
Before the match starts, Wade Barrett and R Truth join the two Michaels at the announce table.
