Episode 18: Leslie Uggams & Bugs Bunny

Leslie co-stars with Bugs Bunny of *Looney Tunes*. Alexa Bliss has a first date with AJ Lee, but she has hay fever, and the flowers Alexa brings make her sneeze so hard that she's propelled around the room. Later, Alexa serenades her with a song she wrote for her -- "*AJ Lee... you're prettier by far than a bunny...*" In the middle of the song, Bugs Bunny wanders by, and Alexa instantly falls in love with the huge bunny. Alexa flirts with Bugs until AJ drops a flowerpot on Alexa's head.

## Episode

Cold Open: Leslie Uggams asks AJ Styles about Bugs Bunny appearing with her on the show. She reveals a large yellow egg, stating that his younger brother has arrived. The girls go nuts over the size of the egg.

"Turn It Up": Bayley does the Daffy Duck Impression from Alexa's Room.

Alexa's trumpet quacks, and two ducks respond to the call.

Bugs peeks through the curtain during Michael Cole's introduction to see if he's on yet. Kermit informs him that he comes on later in the show.

Leslie and the Japanese Superstars (consisting of Asuka, Kairi Sane, Akira Tozawa, Shinsuke Nakamura, Io Shirai and Hideo Itami) perform "Hey There, Good Times."

Backstage, Alexa is on his way up to AJ's dressing room for their first formal date. She expresses his concern to Michael that he'll become so excited that he'll faint. Michael says that if that happens, AJ will have to give her mouth-to-beak resuscitation. At the thought of this, Alexa faints... or rather, she practices fainting.

In her dressing room, Alexa presents AJ with flowers. Of course, she is allergic to them. Despite this, Alexa continues with her fainting scheme, but it does not prompt her to "kiss" her. Instead, her hay fever gets the best of her.

WWE Labs: John Cena has Dana Brooke demonstrate how impossible it is to set his latest invention, Fireproof Paper, on fire. It doesn't work, and Dana tries to put the fire out with one of John Cena's other inventions: Flammable Water.

Bugs meets Nia Jax for the first time, telling her that he and Michael come from the same show, Looney Tunes. He has no idea who Nia Jax is, though, which she finds rather insulting, but she is even more insulted when he finds the thought of a wrestling woman "very funny." But before she can karate chop his feathers off, Bugs bends down, causing Nia to fall off the balcony. Says Bugs Bunny, "Oh! You do acrobatics too. She's very versatile!"

Leslie talks with Lana a bit about his act. She tells her that to be a ravishing russian, you have to have "sole. And if you can't get sole, use halibut." They share a few more of these terrible fish puns before Leslie sings "Here You Come Again" with Lana accompanying on Rusev.

UK Spot: Nia Jax sings "Mad About the Guy" with Titus O'Neil backing her up on piano, joined by a violinist.

Becky on Patrol: Patrol Becky has arrested a Wrestler who does impressions of police officers. The Chief, too busy typing a report, fails to see that Patrol Becky accidentally locked himself in the cell instead of the criminal. And when Patrol Becky says that he's locked in, the Chief thinks that the criminal is just doing an impression of Patrol Becky.

Leslie asks Alexa what he sees in AJ. She tells her that she is beautiful, witty, charming, and very talented. AJ Lee arrives to show her dancing talent.

Vendawish grants a man's wish to be taller.

Alexa serenades AJ with "Alexa's Song." Her song is interrupted by Bugs Bunny's arrival, whom Alexa claims to have the one thing lacking for AJ: Light It Up. The jealous AJ hits Alexa over the head with a flower pot.

The man whom Vendawish has deformed requests John Cena's assistance in shortening his neck. John presents him with their latest therapy technique in shortening necks: a baseball bat. He swings it around, and the man ducks to avoid being hit, thus shortening his neck.

Leslie and Bugs Bunny sing "Love Will Keep Us Together."

At the closing, Alexa tries to tell AJ Lee that he'll never look at another superstar again. She then realizes that she's not actually speaking to AJ, but a different Superstar. He then confides in Leslie, "Superstars all look the different to me." The two furious Superstars punch Alexa, before pecking each other. Leslie then thanks Bugs Bunny before the closing credits.
