The Miz Comes Home

Finally, the Miz has come back.. to Cleveland? The biggest homecoming for Cleveland since some guy named LeBron came back to win them a championship or something. The Miz is here and he’s going to be celebrated like the A-Lister he is. There are pictures of the Miz all over the ring, and he gets a massive amount of pyro.

The Miz gets a hype video shown of his career, all the way back to his Real World and Tough Enough days all through his career. It details all of his title victories, including the WWE Championship cash-in on Randy Orton. It shows his movies, his IC title win over Ryder, and parts of his massively popular Talking Smack promo.

Miz then rips into LeBron James and the Cavaliers, calling him a quitter and a traitor while he’s always brought them titles. Miz even acknowledges his parents, calling them the only two decent people in the entire arena. Dolph Ziggler’s parents are here too, and Miz says that they created an elite level loser.

Ziggler comes out, and defends his parents, the fans, and his city. Miz says he doesn’t care if he cheated, it will always call him a winner while the record books will always call Ziggler a loser. Miz calls Ziggler a warm-up guy to get the crowd happy and then lose, and says Ziggler’s career makes him sick and it would embarrass him if it was his.

Miz says Ziggler’s career is nothing, and leaves to go celebrate in Hollywood. He insults Ziggler’s parents on the way out by saying they must be so proud.

Ziggler calls after Miz, even calling him Mike. Ziggler says that the ring is all that he loves but sometimes the things you love don’t love you back. He gets emotional about how he can’t stop and how his career may not have gone the way he thought it would. Ziggler wants the title shot one more time, and he’ll put his career on the line.

Miz is intrigued and says that Ziggler can’t go to RAW or NXT, he’ll be done. Ziggler says that’s the deal, and Miz agrees for No Mercy. If Ziggler doesn’t hang up his career, Miz will do it for him.

Fan. Freaking. Tastic. Promo. Will they pull the trigger and somehow write Ziggler out?
