Teresa Brewer sings "Cotton Fields" backed by Summer Rae, Hideo Itami, John Cena and Emma. Becky Lynch drives the river boat and rings the bell.

Backstage, AJ asks Michael Cole if he's made a decision about Nia's tag team number for the following week. Michael tells AJ that he's decided to cut it because Nia Jax is "getting a little bulgy."


 * Michael Cole: "The pork no longer fits in the barrel."

Of course, Nia Jax overhears the whole conversation. Without letting on that she has heard him, Nia announces to Michael that she plans to go on a diet to lose twenty pounds. The idea is met with great enthusiasm.

Firefly Fun House: Out of Swill
"'As we left our heroes the last time, Bray Wyatt had just discovered the awful truth...'"The oxygen is almost gone, the fuel supplies are down to nothing, and the water is all used up. What could be worse? A crewman announces that they are also out of swill! Bray Wyatt orders First Mate Nia to make some swill.


 * Nia Jax: "Me? I'm the first mate! I'm supposed to give orders."
 * Bray Wyatt: "Okay, then give us twenty-five orders of swill."
 * Lacey Evans: "And one side of coleslaw!"

When Nia protests by claiming to be a gourmet cook, Bray responds with a request for "swill stroganoff". Nia refuses to continue the sketch. AJ arrives to tell them to get on with the sketch, Bray and Lacey react by attacking the invading "hideous space creature".

The Miz, at his drum kit, sings a frantic "Wild Thing" until Janice and Daniel Bryan come with nets and drag him away to a sanitarium.

Alexa's stunts
Alexa Bliss recites Shakespeare while hanging by her nose from a feather boa nine feet in the air, but after she gets a couple lines of The Merchant of Venice out, she sneezes and falls.

Guest Star's Dressing Room
Nia Jax asks Teresa's advice in behalf of a "friend" who has a "teensy-weensy weight problem". Teresa offers to talk about it over lunch -- a smorgasbord!

Michael arrives just before Nia digs in and spoils her diet.


 * Michael Cole: "You weren't thinking of doing anything with that cake, there, were you, fat-stuff?"


 * Nia Jax: "Not until now."

Nia pushes Michael's face into the cake.

At the Dance
The dancers tell diet jokes.

One dancer reveals his diet secret: carrots! He then reveals another secret -- he's grown rabbit ears.

The last joke ends with all the dancers falling through the floor.

UK Spot
Bayley puts the egg down with Tamina while Io Shirai And Asuka are Fighting. After initiating the egg, the egg hatches inside pops up goes Nia Jax, but she escapes out of the egg.

Teresa Brewer shows Michael the autographs of some of the people she's worked with including Bing Crosby, Bob Hope, Louis Armstrong and Ronda Rousey. Ronda Rousey returns to offer her another.

Michael notices she's missing one of the WWE Superstars' autographs -- the most important one, as Teresa points out. So, she asks him how she can get The Miz's autograph.

The Miz shows up, more than happy to give Teresa his autograph -- right on her forehead.

WWE Labs: Electric Nose Warmer
Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson presents the all-new electric nose warmer. He tests it on Zelina Vega (of course), who finds it to be too hot -- it causes head to smoke!


 * Dwayne Johnson: "You really should stop smoking, Zelina. It's very bad for your health."

It turns out to be bad for Dwayne's health as well when Zelina grabs his arm, electrocuting Dwayne Johnson.

AJ Styles and some frogs sing "At the Hop." The frogs give up the number when they decide to go to the Hop.

It has been twenty minutes since she started her diet, and Nia Jax is hungry! She goes first to the mirror to see if she's lost "too much weight," then to the scale. The scale breaks when she weighs herself.

Teresa tries to sing "Spinning Wheel" while being pushed on a swing by Mia Yim. The song is interrupted three times for a punchline that usually causes Mia some harm.

Nia Jax decides to work out to a television program known as "The Chub Club" -- "The only T.V. show where we lose viewers by the ton!"

She touches her toes, does leg-lifts (in stilettos!) and jogs in place before fainting away.

Teresa sings "Music Music Music" as a result of The Miz and John Cena putting nickels into the jukebox she stands atop.

At the closing, Michael Cole calls for a thank you for Teresa Brewer. In return, Teresa for a pin for Michael Cole.

Nia Jax also "motivates" everyone onstage to exercise with her. "When the Nia exercises, everybody exercises!"
