We are in Evansville, Indiana and your announcers are Michael Cole and Corey Graves.
We begin with MizTV.
Miz welcomes everyone and he says since last Friday and the incident with Kofi, people says he has changed. MIz says he was having a bad day. Kofi came up with all of his positivity and tried to cheer him up, but there are times when you don't want to smile. Miz says he let his emotions get the best of him. Miz tells Kofi that he is sorry for what he did last week. Miz says he has been going through a lot this month. The Fiend threatened his 18 month old daughter. Miz was unable to take the title from The Fiend. He is happy that a man who he considers to be like a brother is back.
Miz brings out John Morrison.
Miz welcomes John back and Miz says this is truly AWESOME. The greatest tag team of the 21st Century is together in the ring. Miz says if you forgot about what John can do, he has a sizzle reel.
John says he doesn't know what to say. They were filming a documentary about his return. He says his return at the Royal Rumble was going to be epic, but he saw what Miz was going through and he felt that it was more important to be there for one of your best friends. John says he is disappointed in you guys. His friend has one bad day and you chant 'You Suck' at him? Miz has worked harder for 15 years than anyone else on the roster. No one thought he would make it as a WWE Superstar, but he became a champion. You guys ignore all of Miz' hard work. You don't get it. Miz doesn't do it for his dad or for himself. He does it for all of you. You have never been in the ring.
The New Day interrupt John running down the people in the crowd.
Kofi tells Miz he has a question for him. Who are you trying to fool? Are you trying to blame the WWE Universe for turning their backs on you? Big E says they don't buy Miz' apology because he isn't that good of an actor. He couldn't even get a part as the back of a human centipede.
Kofi says he would have respected Miz more if he just said he had a bad day. All of us have had bad days. That would have be respectible.
Miz says he repsects that Kofi was WWE Champion for six months. Miz says he respects the six seconds it took you to lose it. He respects the fact that you smile instead of going back after that WWE Championship.
Kofi points out it was 8 seconds. It is clear to him that Miz is changing. Based on what you are saying to the fans and what they said last week, Miz is turning from Cool Miz to Annoying and Obnoxious Miz. The people are 100% correct when they say 'You Suck'.
