He hugs Mean Gene and says it's an absolute honor to be in the ring with a legend such as yourself. Sheamus says, you know, honor is a very important word around here. When you represent the WWE as World Heavyweight Champion, there's a code of Honor you have to adhere to. Last week, he didn't respect that code, and he let everybody down. The referee made a bad decision in his match, and he let his emotions get the better of him. There is no excuse for his actions. There's no excuse for his behavior. So right now, he would like to apologize to referee Chad Patton, to all the WWE officials, and everybody all over the world. He's sorry. He says I hope you all accept the apologies of a red-headed Irishman, because we all make mistakes and we all try to learn from our mistakes. Let's be honest, some learn the easy way and some learn the hard way. He says he always tends to learn the hard way. He is interrupted by John Laurinaitis. Laurinaitis says hold on just a minute.

When Sheamus says he already did, Laurinaitis says do it again. The crowd boos again. Sheamus says he would like to apologize to all the WWE Officials. Laurinaitis says now it's time to apologize to the world. Sheamus smiles and Laurinaitis says you think this is funny? Do you see a smile on my face? Apologize now. Sheamus says I would like to apologize to everybody all over the world. Laurinaitis says that's not good enough. As of right now, you're on permanent probation and if you touch a referee, by accident or otherwise, you're fired. And I'm going to fine you the largest fine ever in WWE history, $500,000, and oh by the way, good luck in your match tonight. Oh, I didn't tell you did I? Tonight, you're in a match. Daniel Bryan will be tagging up with Alberto Del Rio to face you and your tag team partner, him. He points to Mean Gene and says nice to see you again, Gene. Laurinaitis then leaves.

This new match Sheamus will not be able to fluke his way out of like he did at WrestleMania. This match will clearly prove who the better man is. Because not only does he want to pin Sheamus 1,2,3, he wants to make the Great White tap out and now he can do both. Because at Extreme Rules, they are going to have a 2/3 falls match. The reason that he lost his title, AJ, will be nowhere to be found.

AJ says she can't believe she's on Piper's Pit right now while Daniel Bryan is stoned face. She says thank you, Roddy. He says it's a pleasure. She then says Hi Daniel. Piper says you're saying Hi to him after what we just saw there? AJ says I know what it looks like and I know how he can come off sometimes. But Daniel really is, deep down, a good person. Piper says a good person? This is Piper's Pit where you leave the politically correct answers at the door. We're talking about a guy that in front of the entire WWE Universe dumped you. We're talking about a guy who says you're dead weight. We're talking about a guy and this must have taken a big man to say that your kiss is the kiss of death and you're calling him a nice guy? Come on! AJ says no it's my fault. I made a mistake at WrestleMania and I'm so sorry. But I know if we could just talk, we could work it out. I know I could make it up to you. Piper says little lady? Make it up to him? Piper says listen, I think this, I have been watching you since your debut. I saw when The Big Show just mowed you down and you know what you did? You finally got back up, so you're strong and it's not easy folks to be a lady and be here so you're smart. And you know something else? You're beautiful and you don't need to make anything up to Mr. Daniel. Let me tell you a secret. All he's doing is using you. He's using you. Bryan interrupts and says he's had enough of you dragging my name through the dirt and I have had enough of you, pointing to AJ, airing your dirty laundry. AJ, if you meant it when you said that you love me, you would leave this ring right now. Piper says AJ, you don't need to listen to him at all. Bryan says AJ. Piper says AJ. An AJ chant goes out. AJ gets out of the ring and walks back up the aisle and the crowd boos. Bryan laughs and goes to leave and Piper says I'm not finished with you. Piper says I see YES, YES, YES on your t-shirt. Because of this fine universe, the WWE, I have four children, three of them who are girls, ladies. Let me tell you some No's. You don't tell a lady to shut up. That's a No. You don't yell at a lady. That's a No and you don't use a lady as a human shield to protect yourself because that's a coward and that's you and that's a No. Piper says now the only bright light that I see is the fact that at Extreme Rules, Sheamus, the World Heavyweight Champion, because of you, has a 2/3 falls match. What the bright side is he's going to watch Sheamus kick Bryan's head off his shoulders not once, but twice. Bryan says at Extreme Rules the fact that he's better than Sheamus is going to slap him and everybody else, including you, pointing at Piper, right across the face. He then slaps Piper and leaves. Piper tells him to come back to fight, but he doesn't.

-Damien Sandow is then shown giving the definition of sophistication. He says fortunately for us, he embodies all of these qualities. He then says sadly in these fast moving times, sophistication has become both a lost art and collateral damage. Take for example the realm of Social Media. You are constantly bombarded by a never ending attack of tweets and posts. These serve not only to propagate your consciousness, but further feed your moral decay and ethical inadequacies. No longer are your minds captured by the soft subtlety of a novel or the philosophical ideologies therein. Instead, you choose to govern your ideas by mantras that are used in 140 characters or less. But fear not, for it is not only his duty but his destiny to be your beacon of light in your harbor of iniquity. A light that will shine true and steadfast and you can govern your lives by for years and years to come. You're welcome.

-Mean Gene and Sheamus are shown in the back and Mean Gene says to Sheamus, I don't mind telling you, I don't like our chances tonight. However, I'm checking out that smile on your face. Have you got something up your sleeve? Sheamus says Gene, I'm not going to lie to you. We're probably not going to win tonight. Mean Gene says then what's that smile all about? How can you smile? Sheamus says you think I'm going to give John Laurinaitis the satisfaction of seeing me sweat over this match? No way. Plus, how often is it that I get to tag with the legendary Mean Gene Okerlund? I used to watch you as a kid. This is great. So no matter what happens, this is all pretty cool and if we survive tonight, the first pint's on me. Mean Gene says did you say if we survive tonight? Sheamus says Gene, we'll either drink to remember or we'll drink to forget. Mean Gene looks pained.

-When they come back from the commercial, Cody Rhodes is in the ring. Cody says what are we calling this night, a Blast from the Past? And what a blast it's been. I think it's a waste of our collective time. Why not turn our attention to the future? A future where I am once again the Intercontinental Champion? A future where The Big Show doesn't get to bask in the glow of a single lucky punch. A future where these so-called legends don't hog the spotlight from those of us who actually can and will. He gets cut off by Dusty Rhodes' music. He comes out to a big ovation and a Dusty chant. He gets in the ring. Cody says I'm sorry dad, this doesn't concern you in the least. Dusty says actually it does concern me in the least. You know I love you and there's nothing I wouldn't do for you. But, you know, you came into this industry as the most naturally talented athlete to step into a WWE ring since Shawn Michaels and what did you want to do? You wanted to poke the bear. You wanted to poke a grizzly bear, Big Show. Cody interrupts and says Dad, hold on. You are embarrassing me. You and me, we can talk about this in the back. Cody starts to leave and The Big Show's music hits. He comes out on the stage with a mic and says The American Dream, Dusty Rhodes baby. Coupon clipping, Copenhagen dippin', son of a plumber, if you will daddy. He says Cody, that's the American Dream. I know you've had a lot of embarrassing moments lately. I know I keep showing the clips of me knocking you out at WrestleMania. But tonight, I'm going to show the real Cody Rhodes. He then shows a Dashing Cody Rhodes video of Cody applying a moisturizing lip gloss. Big Show says now that, Cody Rhodes, that's embarrassing. The Big Show then leaves. Another Dusty chant goes out.

They back Mean Gene into the corner and then the bagpipes hit and Roddy Piper and the other legends come out from the back. Legends surround the ring. Piper and Pat Patterson get up on the apron and yell at Bryan. He then turns around and runs into a Brogue Kick from Sheamus, who gets the three count. The legends then get into the ring and beat up Rodriguez before Sheamus hits him with a Brogue Kick. The legends celebrate in the ring. Michael Cole gets into the ring. He says give it up to the legends. Then he says I know you guys have got to get back to the retirement home. So lets do a little photo op before we say good night. The legends surround Cole who says he was only kidding. Patterson grabs him and punches him out and he falls out of the ring as they sign off from Hampton.
-Final Thoughts: A fun little show to watch. It was good to see all of the legends and sad that so many of them are no longer around.
