Miz walks in the back as we go to commercial.

We are back and Miz has something to say.
He says before he faces that whistleblower Johnny Weasel, he says he wants to speak to everyone with honesty. Without a shadow of a doubt, Johnny Gargano’s interview was completely false. The evidence was clearly doctored. Miz says he cannot believe that people haven’t looked at the sources. Miz says his father believes Johnny.

The only silver lining is that his agent’s phone has not stopped ringing. Miz says he met with someone who wants to tell his story. This story will take time and he wants to build Oscar buzz. Miz says he has talked to his lawyers about a defamation suit. He says his public relations team is preparing a formal response . . .

Johnny Gargano’s music plays and he comes out.

Johnny says he always liked Miz’ dad. A very smart man. Johnny says he cannot, in good conscience, start the match without telling the truth and he has to blow the whistle on himself.

Johnny says when he did that Byron interview, he was hoping that the public would shame Miz into paying Dexter Lumis, but that did not happen. Johnny says he needed stronger evidence against Miz. He says he did something a little deceitful to get it. Johnny says he hired someone.

Johnny says the big movie producer you had dinner with, it was his private investigator. She was wearing a hidden camera. Johnny says he has the footage. Luckily, he brought a universal remote that works on the Tron.

The ‘producer’ says all networks would be interested in Miz’ story. Miz wants to speak off the record. She says that Miz can trust her. Miz says what Johnny said was true. He says he orchestrated the whole thing.

Miz says that Lumis was out of control. He says corporate got into things too much so he had to stop paying Lumis. Miz says Lumis should be thanking him for the notoriety.
