Cena’s music and he comes out. To the camera on stage he says, “Welcome to the Alamo!” Down to the ring, strap in hand. Before Cena can speak someone on the stage clears his throat. It’s A-Ri who tells Cena to save it, we’ve all heard it. Hustle, loyalty and respect. I never quit and will retain next Sunday. Why doesn’t Cena look at this? A video of Miz at his most evil, taking out Cena so many times before.
Cena doesn’t look happy. A-Ri then announces the most ‘must see Champion in WWE history’ the Miz. Miz out in a charcoal gray suit with black shirt and tie. In the ring A-Ri tells Miz the fans love him. On mic he says we’ve underestimated Miz. From Tough Enough to WMXXVII. We didn’t think he had what it took, but he did. They also thought the Spurs would make it out of the first round. Big heat for A-Ri as he continues to make choking noises. A-Ri says this Sunday at OTL in an I Quit Match – “You suck!” chants. Miz will prove us all wrong once again because the Miz will never mutter the words ‘I quit!’
Cena tells A-Ri that he’s as stupid as he is useless. If we’re talking about things Miz won’t say, how about ‘I won’t pass on tickets to the JoBros.’ ‘I don’t think I want to play with My Little Pony anymore.’ ‘I’m the Miz and I have testicles.’ That’s a shame because he’ll need a set for an I Quit Match. Miz has gone from laughing stock to WWE Champion, but there’s a reason Cena picked this match. “Cena!” chants. The reason he chose that match, after he looks past the fancy suits and bravado, Cena can look into A-Ri’s mentor’s eyes and see fear. Same fear Cena sees right now. He’s been in these matches and have gone the distance. Will he get hurt, or quit before he gets hurt. He’s scared because he won’t be saying I’m the Miz and I’m awesome, he’ll be saying I’m the Miz and I quit!’
Ding-Ding! Cole on his ipad! And I quote, “Miz, since I allowed John Cena to make the stipulation for OTL. As long as you and Riley are not involved, it’s only fair you name the match and opponent here, tonight.” Miz, all smiles, takes the mic from A-Ri. He says he doesn’t know who Cena’s opponent will be yet. He doesn’t know the stipulation yet. But one thing’s for sure, it’s going to be awesome! A-Ri and Miz leave the ring and Cena staring after them. Miz and A-Ri back up the ramp taunting Cena.

Winner – Cena
Miz and A-Ri pace on stage, clap for Cena in a mocking way. Miz says very, very, very impressive. Cherish this victory. Come this Sunday Cena will feel emptiness, regret and disappointment. There are so many ways to get a human being to say ‘I Quit’. You can beat a someone so badly that they have no choice but to say ‘I Quit’. Take this stage, for example. Miz could throw Cena off from it and watch as he crashes face first into the concrete. See this camera? Miz could put Cena up against the stage and do something like this – Miz grabs the boom and swings it until the camera smashes into the front of the stage. The boom swings back out, so Miz slams it into the stage again.
Or take these steel steps. Miz could slam him again and again until Cena couldn’t stand up. Or Miz could look under the ring. Miz tells A-Ri to find something useful. A-Ri looks, nothing. Another side and A-Ri gets a pipe. Miz says yes, he could use this pipe; all these things. That’s the obvious stuff. The stuff Miz’s not going to use. There’s a million ways to beat Cena. Million ways Cena hasn’t thought of that Miz already has. Miz says he’s more intelligent and rutheless than anyone Cena’s faces in his entire life. Miz has found a way Cena’s never even seen before. This Sunday Miz guarantees everyone that he’ll be the new WWE Champion!
Miz asks Cena why he’s looking at Miz that way. Looking like he doesn’t believe a word Miz says. While Miz won’t use that pipe this Sunday, he has no problem using it tonight. Cena took A-Ri’s attack down, but took the pipe Miz swings to his right hip/thigh area? Then Miz slams the pipe across Cena’s back. Cena struggles to his feet and manages to kick Miz in the gut so he loses hold of the pipe. Cena grabs it as it bounces around on the mat (like any good steel pipe should when it’s not made of steel) and hits Miz in the gut with it. Cena then wails on A-Ri with it, but Miz attacks from behind. A-Ri rolls out of the ring as Cena and Miz throw blows. Miz drops from the ring and flees up the ramp, but keeps his eyes on Cena.
Cena grabs a Miz and yells that Miz has a million ways to beat him? Bring them all, then get a million more! Cena tells Miz to listen and listen good. Miz has a hurting coming down on him, son! Because at OTL Miz will say, “I Quit!” Miz stares at a seething Cena in the ring.
