Miz is standing backstage with Todd Grisham. Miz says the way he’ll get Cena to quit tonight is something everyone has overlooked, just like everyone has overlooked the fact that Cena has never faced the Miz in an I Quit match before. He says the people that don’t think Miz can win tonight are the people who thought he’d be fired three days after coming to the WWE, who thought he’d be the first unsuccessful MitB challenger, and who thought he’d never be WWE Champion, but he’s proved them all wrong, and he knows exactly what it takes to win. And by the end of the night, Cena will say I Quit, and Miz will say he’s the Miz and- Riley interrupts, saying I’m the new WWE Champion.

“I Quit” Match for the WWE Championship

We get a recap of the events of the last month, since Extreme Rules, when Cena regained the WWE Championship for the first time in ten months, that have led to this match.

Justin Roberts gives us a quick run down of the rules, which basically state you can do anything you have to, to make your opponent say ‘I Quit’. The Miz’s music hits, and the challenger is the first man to make his way out to the ring, and of course he’s got Alex Riley in tow, carrying his briefcase. Cena is the next man out to the ring, and he gets a mixed reaction, but it’s safe to say that most of the voices in the crowd are for Cena, at least at this moment in the night. We get formal ring introductions for both men, and we’re ready for tonight’s main event.

The bell rings, and Miz asks for the referee’s mic. Miz says out of all the matches Cena could have chosen, he chose an I Quit match. Miz says there are no rules, and that means Miz could hit him with a chair, throw him off the stage, or batter him with the steps, but that means Riley can do it too, so Miz is going to give Cena a freebie, and give him an opportunity to quit right now. Cena says ‘hell no’. Miz goes for the clothesline but Cena ducks it and gives both men a series of clotheslines before he backdrops Riley and hits a facebuster on Miz. Cena hits a gut wrench suplex on Miz and goes for the STF, but Riley breaks it up and begins laying into Cena with right hands.

Riley hits a big suplex on Cena before going back over to the Miz to regroup. Cena is able to back drop Riley to the outside, and he comes up with a couple of big shoulderblocks to Miz before hitting a big belly to back suplex. Cena goes for, and hits the five knuckle shuffle, but when he goes for the AA, Miz fights out and hits a quick combination neckbreaker. Miz goes for the SCF, but Cena fights out and hits the AA. When Cena gets up to his feet, he’s blasted by Alex Riley and the briefcase. Riley uses the briefcase to repeatedly slam down into Cena.

Miz and Riley pick Cena up and they seat Cena on the turnbuckle. Both men shoulder Cena and take him down with a double powerbomb. The ref asks Cena, but he won’t quit. Miz and Riley pick Cena up and toss him to the outside. Both men are quick to follow and they pick Cena up, only to ram him back first into the barricade. The referee asks again, but Cena won’t quit.

Riley takes some of the padding off of one of the ringside barricades, and he and Miz throw Cena into that barricade. Another question by the ref, and another refusal from Cena. Miz and Riley begin dismantling the announcer’s table, Riley holds Cena up and Miz blasts him with a monitor, Riley follows by blasting Cena in the head with another monitor, but Cena still refuses to quit. Cena tries to fight back with a quick flurry of offense, but Miz is able to send him crashing into the ring steps. Miz stands on the steps, and plants Cena with a sick DDT. Miz rips the mic out of the referee’s hands, but Cena still won’t quit.

Miz tells Riley to pick up the steps, and he tells Cena, Riley will smash Cena’s ribs unless he quits. Cena says ‘go to hell’, so Riley brings the steps crashing down on Cena’s ribs, but Cena still refuses to die. Riley heads back into the ring, and he grabs Cena’s arms, keeping him standing on the outside. Miz goes under the ring and grabs a kendo stick, telling the crowd to be quiet. Miz says he’s giving Cena an opportunity to not have so much pain put upon him. He tells Cena to quit, but Cena says Miz hits like a girl. Miz lays into Cena with a nasty kendo stick shot to the gut, then another, then a third. Another hit from the stick and Cena still won’t quit.

Miz hits Cena with a rapid fire series of about ten kendo stick shots, but Cena still refuses to quit. Miz lays into Cena with another stiff shot, but Cena still won’t give. Miz and Riley picks Cena back up to his feet and slam him back first into the barricade, and they begin fighting up the entrance ramp. Miz and Riley slam Cena down onto the entrance ramp, before they go all the way to the top. Miz hits Cena with a suplex, planting him on the steel ramp, but Cena still says ‘no’ when the referee asks him if he quits. Miz measures Cena and runs right up to him, hitting him with a giant kick to the face that sends him crashing to the arena floor, but Cena still says ‘no’. Miz instructs Riley to grab the boom camera and Riley holds Cena across the boom, while Miz makes the camera man give him his belt. Miz tells Cena he’s going to whip him repeatedly. He says this will hurt twice as much as the kendo stick, but Cena can save himself the pain. Cena says Miz has the strap, but he has no nuts. Miz begins whipping Cena repeatedly, but Cena will not give up.

Miz whips Cena rapid fire style, but it still won’t be enough to put Cena down. Cena tells Riley to go back to the ring to grab something. Miz begins bringing Cena back toward the ring, and Cena fights back with a couple of quick punches. Cena sends Riley into the steel ring post, but Miz comes up with a chair, and he uses it to blast Cena across the back. Miz rolls Cena back into the ring, and he grabs the chair, bringing it in with him.

Miz goes for another chair shot, but Cena’s up and he’s laying shots into Miz left and right. Riley comes in and Cena sidesteps him, sending him straight into the ref and knocking him out. Miz is able to lay Cena back out. Miz props up an open chair in between the middle and top ropes. Miz gets Cena in SCF position, planting Cena face first into the seat of the chair wedged in the ropes. Riley gets the mic from the ref and Miz holds it in Cena’s face, but Cena still won’t give.

Miz asks the fans in attendance if Cena is their guy, and asks if they want to see him endure any more pain. He tells a kid in the crowd to tell Cena to quit, but the kid says ‘never’. Miz hits Cena in the forehead with the mic, and tells the kid that this is his doing. Miz tells the kid to ask Cena to quit, but the kid won’t do it. Miz lays into Cena with another mic shot to the head before he traps him in the exposed barricade, wedging him in. Miz grabs a chair and says he will hit Cena repeatedly if he doesn’t quit. He tells Cena that he can’t quit this match, and Miz will not stop until Cena says those magic two words. Cena says those kids are smarter than he is. Miz takes the chair and uses it to blast Cena (and mainly the barricade). Riley holds the mic to Cena’s face, and a clearly recorded John Cena’s voice comes over the PA, saying ‘I Quit’, and this one is over.

Winner: NEW WWE Champion – The Miz

The referee goes for the belt, but he finds a phone, and he begins listening to it. The ref waves off the win, and it looks like this one isn’t over. The ref holds the phone up to the mic, and the recorded voice plays over the PA again. The ref says the match will restart right now. Miz and Riley go to the outside and Riley tries to blast Cena with the title, but Cena ducks and Riley connects with Miz instead. Cena hits the AA on Riley, sending him through the announcer’s table. Cena turns his attention to Miz, and begins pulling his belt off. Cena whips Miz all the way up the entrance ramp. At the top of the ramp, Cena locks in the STF, and it doesn’t take long before Miz quits, ending the match, for real this time.

Winner & STILL WWE Champion – John Cena
