It is time for MizTV and Miz and John Morrison make their way to the ring.  

Miz says before we discuss Wrestlemania, Miz mentions he has had a few strenuous weeks and he did not have to be mocked by Damian Priest and Bad Bunny.  Miz says that Bad Bunny is a huge star and Grammy Award Winner.  Miz asks Bad Bunny who do you think you are?  You waltz around here and it is one thing to do a special performance but you hang around backstage with your bouncer friend Damian Priest and you show no respect to him.

Miz points out that he is a two time Grand Slam Champion.  He asks John who else is a two time Grand Slam Champion.  Morrison says not John Cena, Brock Lesnar, or Undertaker.  

Miz says he has been the backbone of WWE for 15 plus years.  Miz mentions Morrison's accolades and he says they don't get the respect they deserve.  Miz shows the poster for Wrestlemania.  Morrison says they have thirty years of in ring experience and they are not on the poster.  Miz says a musician who has had a cup of coffee on Raw is on the poster for the most significant event of the year.  Miz tells Bad Bunny that you wanted my attention and you got it.

Miz shows what happened last week with Bad Bunny.

Miz says that is a lesson to any musician, actors, or sports stars who think they can do what we do.  You cannot come in and waltz all over us.  MIz says their guests are hiding in fear.

Miz says on a special edition of the Dirt Sheet, it will be the world premiere of their new song and it is dedicated to Bad Bunny.

Miz says next week will be the last time you hear Bad Bunny.  You might be at the top of the music world, but this is our domain.  I will make Wrestlemania your worst nightmare.  I am challenging you to a match at Wrestlemania.  I will not just end your music career, I will end your career.
