In the arena:

The music of Jillian Hall is playing in the arena as she makes her way to the ring with Daivari. Jillian grabs the mic from Lilian and says that Lilian thinks she’s so hot because she’s in the new WWE Magazine. She has a big interview and pictorial with a new album coming out. Jillian said she has a brand new album too, and it’s going to blow Lilian’s out of the water. Jillian said she just had her wisdom teeth out, and she’s in a lot of pain, but she will still perform for everyone tonight, she’s put together a very special performance. Jillian took some bloody bandage out of her mouth and handed it to Daivari, and he didn’t know what to do. Jillian and Daivari then performed a duet. My lord. Thankfully, the music of Cody Rhodes hit and he made his way down with Mickie James.
