The Finals

Before Rey Mysterio and The Miz could compete in the final round of the WWE Championship Tournament this week on RAW, Vince McMahon demanded that the ring be cleared due to important business he had to conduct. He says that he's not denying Mysterio and Miz the chance to become WWE champion, but they are running out of time and the finals will take place next week. Mysterio reluctantly leaves the ring.

In the final round of the WWE Championship Tournament, Rey Mysterio and The Miz meet next week on RAW to determine the undisputed title holder.
