Jeff asks if there was a question in there.

Miz and Morrison ask if Jeff is okay because of the loss.

Jeff says he has been to hell and back.  He has been to a dark place you can't imagine.  It will take more than taunts by Sheamus to take him back to that place.

Jeff is asked if Sheamus isn't getting to him and that the loss affected him.

Jeff says it all does bother him.  He will do what it takes to put his past behind him.  Jeff says he is going to be a beacon of light for anyone who struggles with addiction.  He will show that change is possible and that hope is real.  There is a life beyond their wildest dreams if they can stay sober.

In a Bar Fight.

Morrison says to think about the symbolism.

Jeff suggests it is a handicap match.  He asks Miz and Morrison if Sheamus put him up to this.  Jeff says he is never going back to where he was.  Jeff says he is going to take Sheamus out in that bar fight whether Sheamus likes it or not.  Jeff says he is on his way to success once more and he is not letting any of you down again.  He tells Miz and Morrison to tell Sheamus he accepts.

Jeff says if we are throwing out challenges.  Which one of you guys is it going to be?  You didn't think you could invite me on your show and mock me to my face without being punches in yours.
