Maryse says hello to Tulsa.  She says her husband could not be here tonight.  He has a very big mouth and likes to agree to things without talking to her first.  She says she will have to clean up his mess.  She wants to talk to Beth and she asks Beth to come out so they can talk woman to woman, mother to mother.

Beth Phoenix comes out but she is not alone. 

Maryse says there are not many ways to say this, but the match at Royal Rumble has to be canceled.  

Beth wants to hear her excuse.  

Maryse says they don't want it and neither do the fans.  Maryse asks for some help with this heartfelt moment and then she throws out some reallys.  She says they come from the same generation and they have been through the wars together.  Maryse mentions the 2 minute matches.  Maryse says they made the women's division what it is today.  She says that women main evented Wrestlemania because of their work.  If anything, she says that they should be on the same team.  They shouldn't be fighting.  They should be a unit.  They should be best friends.  We should hang out and go on play dates.  We should go out and get coffee after this.

Beth tells Maryse to shut up.  Beth says she is not buying any of this.  She says this means that Maryse has taken acting lessons from her husband.  Beth says their match at the Royal Rumble is not off.  She is not missing the opportunity to tag with her husband for the first time.  She is not missing the chance to Glam Slam your ass through that canvas.  

Why not give them a preview, right now.

Beth enters the ring and Edge punches Miz when he tries to attack Edge.

Maryse hits Beth from behind with her purse.

Edge gets into the ring to check on Beth and Maryse leaves the ring.

Maryse shows that there was a brick in her purse.

The Street Profits are in the back and Ford says that they are going to get the win in Tulsa.  Dawkins says this will be a great preparation for the Royal Rumble.  Ford says they are going to throw bodies.  Dawkins asks if Ford is going to eliminate him.

The Mysterios show up and Rey says they are excited to team with the Street Profits.  Rey says the Mysterios are going to throw out 29 other people.  Dominik says they are going to do that and restore the name Mysterio to the main event of Wrestlemania.

We go to Bobby Lashley's appearance on After the Bell.  Bobby said that looking into Brock's eyes, he does not have a soul.  He sees this as another paycheck and that is what excites Bobby.  He won't bend, break, or crumble.  Brock knows how to fight and this is a challenge that he welcomes.

We take a look at Brock Lesnar ad Bobby Lashley ahead of their match at the Royal Rumble.

We take a look back at last week when Alexa Bliss saw her therapist.

We go to commercial.

We are back and Miz and Maryse are leaving but they are ambushed by Kevin Patrick to ask about the attack.  Miz says it took one shot to take care of Beth Phoenix.  Maryse stops Miz from saying a nasty word because the kids are watching.  Miz says that he knows next week is Maryse's birthday so he will be throwing an amazing birthday party for Maryse.

We are back with the next Alexa Bliss Session and there is no talking for a little while.  The doctor welcomes her back and he says there are less breakable items.  The doctor says he will continue to treat her but will not tolerate that behavior again.  He says Alexa will be well on the road to recovery and Alexa says neato.

We go to word association and he asks her about Trust and Alexa says Lilly.  He says a number of words and Alexa says Lilly until he says Imaginary.  Alexa stands up and the doctor leaves.

We are back and next week we will have the Alpha Academy Academic Challenge, the Maryse birthday celebration, and a weigh in for Lashley and Lesnar.
