3. Miz TV

The return of Rey Mysterio last week for SmackDown 1000 was a sight for sore eyes when he got back in the ring and qualified for the World Cup.  It was a big night for Mysterio, so naturally, The Miz needed to try to diminish it, right?

The A-Lister tried doing so on an episode of Miz TV last night with special guest Mysterio.  This seemed like it would turn into a match, and that would eventually ring true.  But in terms of just Miz TV itself, it was per the usual with The Miz making everything about him and running down his guest.

He barely allowed Mysterio to talk before he started in on how nobody wants to see the underdog overcoming the odds shtick anymore.  Mysterio countered by saying he was disappointed because he thought he was going on Truth TV instead of Miz TV.  This upset The A-Lister, but he would end up having a chance to do something about it.

Mysterio challenged The Miz to a match and in typical Miz fashion, he tried jumping Mysterio when he wasn’t expecting it.  However, that wouldn’t turn out well and Mysterio ran Miz out of the ring.  This was a pretty good episode of Miz TV and it would set up a match to take place immediately after the segment was over.

Miz TV always entertains and this episode was no exception with two former rivals going at it verbally and eventually physically.

Final Grade: B
