Miz and A-Ri physically taunt and threaten a staff member backstage who backs way down from them.
Miz and A-Ri out to the stage dressed in shirts and ties, but a bit more casually. Miz says last week the fans embarrassed themselves. He saw grown men jump up and down weeping like little girls over another man. That man was the Rock. Don’t get him wrong, in 1999 he remembers sitting in his Dad’s living room watching the Rock electrify. He ripped apart his opponents verbally. You can imagine his excitement when the Rock was in the ring and said his name. What classic line would Rock say about him? Then the Rock said it, the Miz absolutely, unquestionable, undoubtibly completely sucks!
Really? Really? That’s the best Rock can do? One of the best talkers in history and that’s all? He’s heard kindergarteners say worse than that. Do you people think he sucks. They do. Really? Really? Really? Well, now he’s a little hurt. Let him check his tears in the reflection of his Championship gold. Rock might be hosting, but Miz is main eventing, beating Cena.
Rock and Cena have one thing in common, their both cultural icons and the fans love them for it. Miz tells them he could care less what they think of him. They could chant that he sucks, he’s awful. He takes it one step further, it doesn’t matter what they think. He’s the most see WWE Champion in the history of this company. Can you see that? He absolutely, unquestionably, undoubtibly, 100% completely is awesome! (sic)
Ding-Ding! Cole calls for attention for the email from the RAW GM. And I quote, “Enough about the Rock, I’ll deal with him when I’m ready. However, the Rock and Sock Connection is a formidable tag team. So, tonight, the WWE Tag Team Titles will be defended against you Miz and your partner tonight, John Cena.”
