Miz plays a highlight video of Ziggler called “WWE 24, The Success of a Failure". Ziggler finally interrupts, calls Miz an ass face and says that every ten bad moments he's had there would be one moment a fan would encourage him to continue. Reasons like Make A Wish and winning the World Heavyweight Championship are reasons why he couldn't walk away. Ziggler says he's winning the WWE Intercontinental Championship and Miz isn't taking his career. Miz disagrees and guarantees he's taking Ziggler's career, but he has something to cheer up Ziggler.

Before Cena can speak, Styles tells him to shut up and never compare himself to Ric Flair and chasing Flair's world title record ever again. Before Cena can speak again, Ambrose tells him to shut up.
