Miz and Morrison are talking about hashtags

Miz TV

Morrison talks about getting #moremorrison trending, then I think takes a dig at Seth? 

Miz and Morrison dancing to Naomi’s music is kinda funny

Asked about #naomideservesbetter- she says the fans support her and they’re her motivation. Asked how does it feel to trend over losing? She says they’re making her sick right now, how sick? Five Seth Rollins Vomiting. Naomi says why are they pissed about Lacey attacking her over a karaoke contest. She gets heated with her explanation. They have a surprise guest, Lacey Evans. She asks if you’ve ever been beat so bad you get a pity hashtag, calls her washed up. Naomi pushes her, they brawl. Naomi puts on Lacey’s hat while her music plays, Miz and Morrison dance in the background to her music.

KOFI SUGGESTS BIG E GOES SOLO

“Don’t let them deny you before you get your due”

Fatal Fourway for #1 contendership

Gulak vs. Gran Metalik vs. Lince Dorado vs. Shorty G

It’s basically a 205 match, long and fun. AJ on commentary is good.

**½

Metalik wins, AJ attacks, Linde fends him off, Metalik slaps AJ, should be a killer match
