Tony here! Running a little late, so forgive me while I catch up. Shouldn’t take too long. Until then, stare at Lana!

We start Smackdown like it’s 1999, and Chris Jericho makes his way out. We get coverage of last week, including the plant’s last day of action. Jericho wants to talk about Monday before his first guest comes out. He says that Ambrose has suffered whiplash and contusions on his back. Ambrose will not be here tonight because of Jericho. He won’t be coming down the ramp to interrupt him. Tonight, he’ll give us what we need; the gift of Chris Jericho.

Jericho then welcomes his guest Sami Zayn. Sami heads out then brings up Monday night again, when Sami came out after Owens and Cesaros’ match. Jericho wants to get this straight; even though Owens beat Sami fair and square, Sami still finds time to attack him. This makes Sami a sore loser. Then, he raises Miz’s title in the air; that makes him a dirty thief.

Sami says he actually thinks he’s a pretty decent human being. He thinks many would agree. He is right, though, Owens did beat Sami fair and square. His problem is what Owens did after the match. Sami will not go quietly after being treated like that. As far as him grabbing the title…

AWWWWWESOMEEEE!!!

Miz interrupts, and here he comes with his lovely blonde.

Jericho is bothered by this interruption. Miz says Jericho’s show can wait. He holds up the title and says this is his title. Maryse repeats this. Miz says he has earned the right to hold this title over his head because he is champion. He gets it, Sami rode Owens coattails into the WWE. Miz says on Monday, Sami interfered with his business. Miz says that if Sami even lays a finger on the IC title like he did on RAW…

Sami lays his finger on the title. haha. He continuously points and asks if this is what Miz was talking about. Maryse moves Sami’s finger. Jericho says if someone touched his $15,000 jacket the way Sami touched his title, Jericho would do something about it…

Sami then wants to pause, and asks Jericho if he seriously paid $15,000 to be a walking Christmas tree?

Jericho takes offense and says Miz and Sami can have the damned show, because he is out of here. He tosses a stool or two then leaves the ring.

Sami says this takes care of one jackass.

Miz looks at Sami and says he has no respect. Does Sami really think he’s special? The only thing Sami has done is splash around in kiddie pools. Miz has been here for 11 years, swimming with the sharks, and if Sami doesn’t respect him, then Sami will be in deep water with the biggest, baddest shark this company has ever seen: The Miz.

Sami extends his finger….and points directly at the title. haha.

Sami: “Let’s go for a swim!”

Maryse steps up and in and says that her husband is going to teach Sami a lesson.

Sami says that since Sami is here now, and Miz is here now, let’s do this.

Miz goes for a cheap shot, dodges it, and rolls to the outside.
