We are back and Miz is in the ring.

Miz welcomes everyone to MizTV.  Miz mentions that we are celebrating the 20th anniversary of Randy Orton.  He says Randy's career may stack up to his some day.  His guest is a true star in the making and might remind you of someone in the ring.

Miz brings out Theory and they take a selfie.

Miz says it is like looking in a mirror.  Miz says he had to earn The.  

Theory says Vince told him he was just Theory.

Miz says it has been a while since someone brought credibility to the US Title for the first time in 12 years.

Theory asks if that was when Miz was champion.

Theory says he feels like he is on another level.  He says that he watched Miz growing up and he is an inspiration.  Theory mentions what Miz has done.  Theory says he will live up to Miz' standards and also prove why he is the best investment that Mr. McMahon has ever made.  Theory says he will take the title to heights it has never seen before.  He is the youngest US Champion in WWE history but he will be remembered as THE United States Champion.

Ali asks Miz why is he out here cracking jokes.  If he wants to laugh, he just has to watch Miz wrestle.  Ali says he is back on Raw.  He says he was talking to Adam Pearce but when he heard the new United States Champion was going to be a guest on MizTV, he had to come out.  He was hoping that Theory was holding an open challenge for the title and Ali says he was hoping to answer that.  Ali challenges Theory for the US Title.

Theory thinks about it and he says he will think about it and he tells Ali, NO.

Ali wonders why he is not surprised.  He asks Theory if he has no spines.  Is he all biceps and no balls?  You are running away from a fight like your name is The Miz.

Theory says Miz is a former champion and a future hall of famer.  He says that Miz would not run away from a fight.

Miz tells Ali that he is trying to use his name to get a reputation.  Miz says he cannot make a match.
