Episode 6: Jean Stapleton

Michael Cole puts up with various problems in the theater: The Miz eats Alexa Bliss's trained Mexican jumping beans, which make him jump whenever someone says "Arriba", he gets a strange sandwich from Stephanie McMahon, and he has to put up with Nia Jax's temper when Bayley is chosen over her in the melodrama sketch. On top of all this, Jean Stapleton announces who she'd like as her partner for the closing number partner: Ronda Rousey.
