– We get a recap of Vickie Guerrero playing AJ’s messages to Cena this past week on Raw.

In the Arena:

AJ Lee makes her way out to the ring and immediately heads over to grab a mic. She says she’s sorry she has to do this, but she feels like she’s left with no choice. Vickie Guerrero has tried to make her life a living hell. She thought that Vickie was just being a vindictive witch, or a word that rhymes with witch, but then she realized that when you have a secret, the best thing to do is accuse someone else. And that’s what Vickie is doing. Vickie makes her way out screaming ‘how dare you’, and reminding AJ of her position. AJ says she’s a seeker of the truth, and she was at home when she was sent this photo. A photo a Ricardo Rodriguez and Vickie is shown where they’re eating burritos. Then a photo of her with JR with BBQ sauce all over her face.

Vickie is screaming that this is all untrue, and she’s not happy. AJ shows a photo of Vickie in a bathing suit dancing alongside Brodus Clay. Vickie says this is ridiculous. AJ says Vickie’s evidence, and this so called scandal is ridiculous. AJ wanted reality to slap her in the face. Vickie says it’s not going to be reality, but Vickie who will slap AJ in the face. AJ stares down Vickie, backing her up. She says she doesn’t want to fight, and neither does Vickie. If AJ puts her hands on Vickie, AJ will lose her job, but the same applies to Vickie. Out of nowhere, Tamina attacks AJ from behind, and puts her down with a Samoan drop before heading to the top for a superfly splash.

Vickie laughs as she stands over AJ before dropping the mic and heading off to the back.

Backstage:

Josh Matthews is backstage with Paul Heyman. Heyman is mad when Matthews talks about Punk’s tricks. Heyman says no one gives Punk the credit he deserves. Punk is the 8th longest reigning champion of all time. While Cena is busy chasing AJ, Cena has lost to Punk more times than Heyman can count. While Ryback has been bringing us back to the caveman era, Punk made history by beating Ryback. Punk is prepared to survive and thrive in the triple threat tonight because Punk is hands down the best of the three. Punk is not only the reigning World Champion, but he’s the best in the world.
