This week’s show starts off like most weeks have, with people talking in the ring. This week it is the return of MizTV. Miz is in the ring, but he does not have his title belt with him. On Wednesday on Main Event, luck struck Kofi Kingston and he escaped with Miz’ Intercontinental Championship. The last 48 hours have been a living hell.
He tells Kofi to cherish this title reign because it will be very short. Miz says that he is officially invoking his rematch clause at Hell in a Cell. He says that he will show Kofi why he is the most must see WWE Superstar. He will win the Intercontinental Championship and then Kofi’s life will be a living hell.
Speaking of hell, his guests is the Tag Team Champions. He brings out Daniel Bryan and Kane.
Miz brings up that they have separate entrances and they are not a true tag team. They are a couple of egomaniacs.
Bryan talks about things being separate. Why not separate Miz’s teeth from his mouth.
Miz throws out a few reallys. The guy with the goat face is going to talk to him about appearance.
Miz reminds Bryan that he was his pro and that they never got along. Just like Bryan did not get along with AJ or Kane. Miz says that Bryan is the problem. The big red monster with the mask is the sensible one. If he wants to be completely honest, when they defend the titles at Hell in a Cell, Bryan will be the reason why they lose.
Kane interrupts Bryan. He says that no one cares what the Miz thinks. He has won tag team championships with angry seven foot giants, deranged psychopaths with multiple personalities, and the dead man himself. Kane says that if Bryan is the problem, he is the solution.
Bryan says that he is not the problem, he is the reason why they will win at Hell in a Cell. Bryan says that the Devil’s Favorite Demon is nothing without the World’s Toughest Vegan.
Kane says that being the World’s Toughest Vegan is like being the World’s Tallest Dwarf. Kane says that Bryan has that covered too.
Kane and Bryan stop Miz from responding.
Bryan says that he is not a dwarf or goat face, he is a former World Champion. He successfully cashed in and defeated a Giant after a forty-five second title reign. Bryan says that he am the Tag Team Champions.
Kane and Bryan go back and forth over who am the Tag Team Champions and Big Show’s music plays and he makes his way to the ring.
Show has a mic and he tells Kane that he doesn’t have a problem with him. They have their date of destiny on Monday. Show says that his problem is with Daniel Bryan. After the beating that Bryan took on Monday, he figured that Daniel would keep his mouth shut. Show wants Bryan to admit that the victory for the title was the biggest fluke in history. Show says that when he beats Sheamus at Hell in a Cell, that will not happen again. He tells Bryan that he will knock Bryan out if he says anything about forty-five seconds.
Show wants to knock out Bryan right now. Kane stands in front of his tag team partner and he tells Show that they do not have to wait until Monday.
They will have to wait until Dolph Ziggler’s music stops playing and Ziggler and Vickie Guerrero make their way to the ring. Dolph says that Daniel Bryan cashing against Show is so last year. The only important thing is Dolph cashing in.
All Hell in a Cell, Show and Sheamus will beat the hell out of each other. Then Ziggler says that he will steal the show and become World Heavyweight Champion. It does not matter if he cashes in on Sheamus or Big Show. If Bryan can do it, how hard can it be?
Bryan starts to talk and Show intimidates him.
People are arguing and talking over each other and that means it is time for the man in charge to make his way to the stage. Booker wants everyone to listen to what he has to say.
Miz tells Booker to save it because everyone knows what he is going to do. He is going to make a main event match with everyone in the ring. Will it be a tag match or a handicap tag match? He says that Booker is so creative and he asks if Booker can dig that and he tells Booker good-bye.
Booker says that he was not going to say that. He has an announcement. There will be two main event caliber matches tonight. First, Daniel Bryan and Kane will face Dolph Ziggler and the Big Show.
Miz asks Booker what the second announcement is and he wonders how good Booker’s math skills are.
Booker tells Miz he will be facing this man . . .
Do you hear the voices in your head, because they are talking to him.
