AJ Lee comes out with Big E Langston to discuss the state of her mind. She has heard that some people think she’s on the verge of a breakdown because of her lost friendship with Kaitlyn and the way Dolph dumped her last week.

AJ says she’s just fine though, because she is Divas champ, and will never lose the title. She also says that she still has the keys to Dolph’s house, and pulls them out. She said she was going to use them to break into his house and burn it down, but instead thinks she’s ready to give them back.

Dolph comes out and he’s all smiles. He tells AJ that he’s given keys to hundreds of girls, and he’s already changed the locks a couple times since AJ left. AJ then takes out a suitcase that she stole from him and proceeds to destroy his license and passport, and then rips up his clothes.

Dolph says he’d rather wait in line to get a new license than spend any more time with her. He also says there is a passport office down the street and the girl that works there owes him a favor. Apparently he taught her some move in bed involving one of her legs over her head.

Sandow says Cody was actually the smarter of the two when they were a team, and that Cody also carried the team. Sandow is really kissing Cody’s ass right now to try and save his briefcase, but I don’t think it’s going to work. Cody says all Damien has to do is come on over and take back his briefcase, because he earned it.

Cody then throws the briefcase into the Gulf and walks away laughing. Damien leaps into the Gulf after the briefcase and immediately starts screaming that he can’t swim. Damien manages to make it to a ladder going back up to the street and then collapses. Damien is still coughing up water and crying as SmackDown goes off the air.
