No way, that's Rebecca Knox. The K-Nox has come back out in her)

Elias is in the ring to sing us a song. He does his usual introductory spiel and admits that he was a child once. He then talks up his album as the greatest ever and says he’s debuting his greatest song yet tonight. He dedicates it to all the New Yorkers because the harsh reality of being a disgusting New Yorker is about to be washed away.

He goes to start playing and the neck literally snaps off his guitar. He throws a tantrum and leaves.

Miz rolls up on his former allies the B-Team and talks about how he’s gonna prove he’s better than Daniel Bryan, but if they want to celebrate with his limo after for old time’s sake they’re welcome. They say they’re leaving now, they’re not the Miztourage anymore, and the B stands for Daniel Bryan. They congratulate him on his new show, Miz and Mers, and mention their own show coming up, Total Fellas, but with a B, so it’s spelled Total Bellas

The Miz vs Daniel Bryan:

Bryan with a Bulldog for a 2 count, Miz tries the Surfboard, the problem is you try to use someone else's move, they know the counter for it, and Bryan counters it into his own then delivers some Shoot Kicks, Miz crotches Bryan then hits a Lariat off the ropes (Miz must have been watching some of Bryan & Nigel's old ROH work apparently as that one was right out of Nigel's arsenal) for a 2 count, Cravat Knee Strikes, Miz with an Inverted Backbreaker/Neckbreaker combo for a 2 count, Bryan with a pair of Corner Dropkicks, Shoot Kicks, Avalanche Hurricanrana for a near fall, Bryan Backdrops Miz to the floor, then wipes him out with a Baseball Slide, Diving Crossbody to the floor, Miz was looking for a Superplex but Bryan slides out from under him & Miz is Tied to the Tree of Woe, Shoot Kicks then a Baseball Slide followed by an Avalanche Back Suplex for a near fall, Shoot Kicks, Miz ducks the Roundhouse and hits the Snap DDT for a 2 count, Miz with Shoot Kicks but Bryan is absorbing them, he slaps Miz in the face multiple times, Dragon Screw, Roundhouse Kick, he tries The Busaiku Knee, Miz counters into a Figure Four, Bryan blocks and looks for The Yes Lock, Miz shoves Bryan into the turnbuckle, Skull-Crushing Finale for a near fall, Miz looks for a Busaiku Knee, but Bryan counters with a High Kick for a near fall, Miz tries a Suplex to the floor but Bryan blocks, Shoot Kicks, he goes for the Roundhouse Kick, but Miz ducks & Bryan hits the post, Miz back in with The Figure Four, we have a fist fight during the Figure Four & Bryan turns it around, but Miz makes it to the rope, Skull-Crushing Finale countered into aVictory Roll, he tries it again, Crucifix Pin for a 2 count, MMA Elbows then into The Yes Lock and drives fists to the back of Miz's head, but Miz makes it to the rope, Maryse hands Miz some sort of international object and knocks Bryan out with a loaded left hand to steal the win in the cheapest way possible

Daniel Bryan is backstage getting tended to by a trainer with Brie Bella by his side, saying he should have known, and by losing to Miz he proved he’s right and his whole comeback has been a bust. He didn’t fight like that to come back just for somebody like Miz to win! Brie talks him down and tells him his fight isn’t over and he thanks her and tells her to go enjoy rest of the show
