Piper’s Pit w/ Rusev and Lana
Piper soaked in the crowd’s admiration, then brought out his guests.
Lana mocked America for pretending to be good at Christmastime, and believing that Santa would bring gifts to the ungrateful American children.
Piper interrupted, and said that we are in America, where people believe in what they want to believe. Lana smiled and said that Piper should believe in this, as she introduced footage of Rusev’s attack of Ryback from SmackDown.
Rusev got on the mic, and said that he can crush Ryback, and he can crush Piper.
Piper calmed Rusev down, and said that he likes Rusev and Lana, and that he even got them a present. Piper introduced that present Ryback.
Ryback and Rusev brawled, and even though Rusev got a few moves in, Ryback was completely dominant, until Rusev escaped, just before a Meathook Clothesline.
This was a fun Piper’s Pit. Being in the ring with people like The Rock and Piper seems to be teaching Lana a thing or two. Lana was good, and so was Piper, who did a good job of setting up Ryback and Rusev’s brawl.
