He tells Goldust that he got lucky last week and lightning doesn’t strike twice. He calls Goldust a ‘gold freak’. Goldust stands inches away from Sheamus and he stares at him and then starts to have a few tics.
Courtney is in the back and she asks Tiffany about Tommy’s condition. Tiffany says that it appears that Tommy has a concussion so he cannot wrestle. Christian has the ability to find a tag team partner so the match can still take place. Tiffany thanks someone and then leaves as we go to commercial.
