John says that the Miz reminds him a lot of Dolph Ziggler, the man he will face on Sunday.

Dolph Ziggler interrupts and joins John on the couch. Abe makes a Rocky IV reference and confuses Dolph’s name. Abe says that he is out of time and he suggests having his people contact Abe’s people. Morrison brings Mr. Ziggles to ECW.
