Thursday Night Smackdown, June 25, 2015, Toledo, Ohio

The match begins with Sheamus sending Ziggler into the corner hitting a series of kicks and punches to the body. Sheamus sends Ziggler into the ropes and Ziggler ducks Sheamus countering with a sleeper hold in the middle of the ring. Sheamus fights out of it and Ziggler wants to hit him with a super kick but the attempt is void as Sheamus ducks out of the ring. Ziggler gives chase hitting Sheamus with a kick sending him off the apron. Sheamus lies outside the ring and we hear a voice from the speakers.

We then see Rusev coming down the ramp with crutch in hand, telling Lana to stop it. Lana meets him half way and Rusev says to stop this and come back to him. The crowd starts a "You tapped out" chant as Rusev continued to beg Lana for relationship renewal. He tells Lana that he will kiss her the right way. Lana turns her back and Rusev begins screaming in his native tongue trying to get her attention. She walks away and heads towards the ring to support Ziggler.

As Ziggler is distracted, Sheamus tries to hit the Brogue Kick on Ziggler. Ziggler ducks the attempt and rolls up Sheamus for a two count. Sheamus counters with a knee to Ziggler on the ropes sending Ziggler out of the ring. We go to break with Ziggler lying outside and Lana looking concerned.

Back from commercial we see Sheamus holding Ziggler down on the mat with a headlock. Sheamus wrenches down on him as Ziggler mounts his comeback. Ziggler breaks free and hits the ropes. Sheamus catches Ziggler and hits a backbreaker. Sheamus mounts the second turnbuckle poised to hit Ziggler as he lay on the mat. Sheamus gives it a second thought and decides to go higher. This decision led to an opening for Ziggler to jump on Sheamus on the turnbuckle and he sends Sheamus to the mat face first. Both men are lying on the mat.

Ziggler and Sheamus battle in the center of the ring with a series of back and forths. Ziggler goes for another super kick but fails once more as Sheamus catches his foot. Ziggler escapes and hits the ropes. He mounts Sheamus and rolls him up for a two count. Sheamus counters with a big boot to the face of Ziggler. Ziggler is wobbly in the corner as Sheamus makes his move. Ziggler out of nowhere, FINALLY hitting the Super Kick. He covers Sheamus, but he kicks out at two. Ziggler is shocked!

Both men are up and Sheamus sends Ziggler off the ropes. Ziggler counters with a sleeper hold on Sheamus. Sheamus forces Ziggler to the corner trying to break him loose of the sleeper. Ziggler hangs on and gets Sheamus to the center of the ring. Sheamus battles again trying to break Ziggler loose. He gets loose as Ziggler sits on top of the turnbuckle. Sheamus goes for a slam but is blocked as Ziggler hits a series of punches to Sheamus. Sheamus counters leaving Ziggler swinging on the top rope. While on the ropes Sheamus hits him with a Brogue Kick. He drags Ziggler in to the ring further for the pin and the 1...2...3.

Sheamus celebrates holding the MITB briefcase as we see replays of the match. Lana comes to the aid of Ziggler in the ring. We see Rusev hobbling in the back yelling and shaking a fence. Summer Rae comes up to Rusev and says.

"Lana's not worth it." She says and walks off.


Catherine held a ice pack to Nick's jaw since Sheamus gave him the Brogue Kick to the jaw.

"I'm so sorry." She says.

"Sorry about what?"

"About Rusev distracting you and about Sheamus giving you a Brogue Kick."

"It's okay." He smiles at her.

"Lana! Lana, we need to talk now!" Rusev yells.

"Here we go again." She whispers.

"Lana, come on let's go."

"I am not going anywhere with you."

"Lana, I said let's go now!" Rusev yells.

"And I said I am not going anywhere with you." As Catherine said no once again, Rusev began to get angry and yells.

"Tŭp kurva kazakh da si zadnika v tazi kola sega! Get in the car now!" He yells and this made Dolph get up out of his seat.

"What did you say?" He asked getting in Rusev's face.

"You stupid American, you did this to her! You took her away from me! Lana let's go now!"

"I don't think she wants to go with you." Nick says.

"Lana!"

"I don't want to go with you, I told you that it is over between us." Catherine said as she was dead set on not going back to Rusev.

"I am not asking to ask you, I am telling you to let's go." He said seething with anger.

"No I am not going anywhere with you, I am leaving and I am taking my fiancé with me." She said leaving along with Nick leaving a broken Rusev at scream in anger.


Since they were in Toledo, they decided to go out to dinner Maney's Steak House for dinner.

"We have got to do something about Rusev." Catherine says.

"On that your right but what are we going to do?"

"I don't know, I just hope we do something before it's too late for the both of us."

"How do we get rid of a problem like Rusev?"

"I don't know perhaps we should move somewhere else."

"Like where?"

"I don't know or maybe I should do something else."

"What are you talking about?"

"Maybe I should retire."

"What? Why?"

"I don't have a choice plus my contract is about to expire in a few months anyway and besides I'm gonna sign a contract for TNA real soon."

"But how is that going to keep Rusev away? Can't you tell Stephanie and Triple H?"

"Hell no, I don't want to see Triple H's face or smell Stephanie's breath, plus they still hate me for taking Cena's side."

"But I don't want you to go."

"We'll still going to be together, this doesn't change anything."

"Yes it does, Nick I love you but this is not going to keep Rusev away. It's not going to keep the yelling away, the stalking, and the verbal abuse away. It won't even keep the hitting away."

"What do you mean by that?" He asked.

"There's something else you should know about me, Nick."


"You want me to kill Lana?" Summer Rae asked him.

"Yes I want you to kill Lana for me."

"But why?"

"Because she betrayed me and she deserved to be killed along with that pathetic American Dolph Ziggler."

"Don't you think that that's a bit harsh to do that?"

"No, I want you to kill Lana and I want you to do it now."

"Umm look Rusev, I don't know what's going on between you and Lana and I'm sorry she broke up with you and all but this isn't a way to settle this I'm sorry."

"You will kill Lana and you do it now!" He yells.

"And if I refuse?"

"Then you will be killed along with them." He said coldly to Summer Rae.

"By who?" She asked. Rusev then put down his crutches and walked over to (he was faking his injury all along) Summer Rae and grabbed her by the neck choking her instantly.

"By me." He growled.
