Backstage, Stephanie runs into Kane. Kane pitches (once again) that he should run Smackdown. Stephanie says she is going be running Smackdown. The Miz and Maryse walk in and Miz complains that he didn’t get the treatment a star should receive. Miz notes that after being away for the last 30 days he would expect better treatment. Kane interrupts and lets Miz know that there is a clause that says he must defend the Intercontinental title once every 30 days or he will have to relinquish it. Stephanie says that’s a great idea. Miz will defend the IC title against a surprise opponent.
