We are live from Corpus Christi, Texas and your announcers are Booker ‘I wrestled on a Great American Bash’ T, Josh ‘I have watched a Great American Bash’ Mathews, and Michael ‘A lot of Great Americans want to bash me’ Cole.

We see footage from last night when Alberto Del Rio attacked Sin Cara before their match.

Alberto looks at what we saw on the screen and he says that tonight he is not here to celebrate America. He is here to talk about something more important than that. He is going to talk about Alberto Del Rio. Finally, he got his one on one title match against Sheamus. He will send Sheamus crying back to Ireland like a little girl.

Alberto says that he knows why the people like Sheamus so much. It is because they are like him. They are hooligans and try to take advantage of hard working people like Alberto Del Rio. Alberto tells everyone to relax and stop hating him because he is successful. Alberto points out that he came to this country legally. He made a lot of money in Mexico and he is making a lot of money here.

After Money in the Bank, Sheamus is going back to the place where he belongs. Alberto says that he wants to send everyone back to the place where they belong. Alberto says that he wants to start right now.

Alberto asks a fan for his papers and then he tells the people in the front row that they don’t belong to be here. He calls the fans illegal aliens.

Alberto says that he is going to get rid of one of them before he gets rid of Sheamus. Alberto says that the fan is in the United States illegally. The fan says that this is not Arizona, this is Texas.

Sheamus’ music plays and he goes after Del Rio and they fight on the ramp. Sheamus punches Del Rio and throws him off the stage. Sheamus attacks Ricardo and then Sheamus sends Del Rio into the dasher board and barrier. Sheamus works over Ricardo and Del Rio with a kick and punches.

Ricardo opens the hood to the car and he tells Alberto to slam it on Sheamus. Alberto does what Ricardo suggests.

We go to commercial.

We are back with a Moments Ago Moment of Del Rio’s attempts to show Sheamus under the hood of his car.

We see Sheamus over by the car and he is bleeding from the forehead.

The announcers talk about whether Del Rio’s actions mean that he is going to win at Money in the Bank.
