We are back and Sheamus and Cesaro are arguing in the locker room and Mick Foley enters.

Sheamus says Mick can change his mind and Cesaro says the same thing.

Mick says that him, Arn Anderson, and Michael Hayes were watching the match.  They proved everyone wrong and proved him right.  They stole the show last night.  Seven matches was not enough.  If he puts them out for an eighth match, he could lose one of them.  He says they are two of the toughest superstars he has ever seen.  If you are put together, you could change the face of tag team wrestling.  You put two people together who don't like each other and you can create magic.  He tells them to show the WWE Universe what he knows . . . that you guys are amazing.

Stephanie McMahon is in her office and Mick Foley enters.  Mick says he looks like a fool because he believed her.  After last night, he steps away for a few minutes and then all of a sudden, the bottom falls out of the main event.  The referee goes down and Chris Jericho interferes but then you pull out a referee who will make the three count.  Then he talks about Stephanie being picked up by her husband.

Stephanie says she was telling her husband that things went great on the pay per view because he could not see it.  She asks who is responsible for the integrity of the main event.  Is it her?  No, it is Mick's job.  She says she did not hire Mick for his medical expertise.  They have the greatest doctors.  She tells him to think with his head, not his heart.  She wants to know what Mick has to say for himself.

Mick says he was out of line.  He says he would like to remain General Manager.

Stephanie tells Mick he needs to prove that he is worthy of that job.  Seth has bought into that conspiracy BS.  Stephanie tells Mick that Seth will go after Kevin Owens and Chris Jericho.  She tells Mick to do his job.

Tom Phillips is with TJ Perkins in the interview area. 

Tom congratulates TJ on his victory last night and asks him about his Raw debut.  TJ says this is a dream he has had since 1998.  He did not think he would get here, but now he will be competing on Raw.  He says he never thought he would see . . . that.

Brian Kendrick shows up and he says he is here to find out if it feels good to have your dream come true?  Does it feel good to deprive him of what is his?  The title was to resurrect him.  He says TJ owes him the title and he owes him for his career. 

TJ says he owes Brian for that head butt.

Brian tells TJ to soak up that spotlight.  He says the next time they meet will be the end of your dream.
