A clip from Main Event showed Ambrose on Miz TV. Michael Cole, JBL, and Tom Phillips checked in on commentary. Dean Ambrose made his entrance to a huge pop. It stopped quickly, making me think it was sweetened some…

1. Miz (w/Damien Sandow) vs. Dean Ambrose. Ambrose went right at Miz and Miz ran away to regroup. Ambrose went after the face as Miz begged him not to. Miz ducked a clothesline and hit a neckbreaker to take control. A "Let's go Ambrose" chant broke out and he hit a dropkick to a good pop. Maybe not sweetened too much. Ambrose threw Miz face first into the barricade and rolled him in the ring. Miz hit a kick to the face and both guys sold…[C]
