When the show goes live in the arena, Randy Orton makes his way to the ring while WWE plays a recap of his attacks on Jeff Hardy in recent weeks.
Orton says the reason he has been attacking Hardy is because of the WWE Universe. He says he has busted his butt for us for 16 years and he has been the one constant in WWE in that time, but he doesn't feel like he gets the same level of respect as guys like Hardy. He says he's not some indy darling and he didn't steal some hand gesture to look cool. He says he was trained by the best and paid his dues in front of millions of people to become the Legend Killer, but he has realized we are the real legend killers. He says he went from Legend Killer to Legend and it is his mission to destroy all the Superstars we put on pedestals.
Orton drops the mic and exits the ring.

Paige is in the ring after the break to announce who AJ Styles will be facing at SummerSlam. She talks a bit about being excited for the upcoming women's PPV before bringing Styles to the ring.
The crowd chants AJ's name for a long time before he calms them down and talks about being proud of WWE for giving the women their own event. Then he talks about SummerSlam and his history at the event so far. He signs the contract without even knowing who his opponent is. She is about to reveal who it is when James Ellsworth's music hits and he walks out with a mic. He says the real reason he came back to WWE is to win the title. He brags about beating AJ three times in the past.
Paige tells Ellsworth he is a joke and he says she is the joke. He mocks her accent, so she ends up firing him. She calls for security to remove him from the building. Paige walks with security all the way to the door. Back in the ring, Samoa Joe ambushes Styles from behind and puts him out with the Coquina Clutch. Then he signs his own name to the contract and tips the table over onto Styles.

The Bar comes out after the match and says they are back to win the tag team titles at SummerSlam.
The Miz, Maryse and Monroe Sky come out after the break to celebrate the debut of their new show, Miz and Mrs.
The Miz comes out and puts his wife over as the best wife and mother ever. Maryse talks about the upcoming Evolution PPV and says it all started with her. He introduces his daughter to the world and the crowd chants her name. Then Miz says mentioning Bryan's name made Monroe go to sleep.
The video package he tries to play has been replaced with a video of all his career lowlights thanks to Daniel Bryan. Bryan blames Kerwin in the truck for the mistake. Daniel says he should apologize in person and heads to the ring. The Miz's security stops Bryan from going to the ring, so he lays them out.
The Miz throws what turns out to be a fake baby at Bryan before kicking him in the face and hitting the Skull Crushing Finale. What a legend! Then he unloads on the crowd and says he would never actually bring his baby to a city like this and reveals the baby we saw backstage was an actor.
The show ends with The Miz plugging his show while Bryan tries to recover in the ring.
Rating: 70/70
Great show as we look to SummerSlam.
