MIDDLE CARD PROMO

THE MIZ: “Ladies and gentlemen, last Sunday at Extreme Rules, we witnessed a mockery of what the WWE Championship should be! Kane, the so-called Big Red Monster, holding that prestigious title? Give me a break! And what's worse, he's got his lapdog, Daniel Bryan, always lurking around like a lost puppy.

Oh how the mighty have fallen! From the "Yes Movement" to being the lackey of a has-been like Kane. It's pathetic! You used to be the face of this company and now you're reduced to being Kane's sidekick, a pawn in his game.

Team Hell NO is not a tag team; they're a desperate alliance trying to cling to the spotlight. Daniel Bryan, you're allowing yourself to be used by Kane to maintain his grip on the WWE Championship. You're nothing more than a lackey and it's embarrassing to witness.

Tonight, I'm here to expose the truth. The truth that Daniel Bryan has become a shadow of his former self. And when I get my hands on both of you, I'll show the world that The Miz is the only true superstar deserving of the WWE Championship!”

[The Miz drops the microphone, soaking in the boos from the crowd, confident in his message. Suddenly, Daniel Bryan's music hits and Bryan storms to the ring with a determined look on his face.]

DANIEL BRYAN: “Miz. let me remind you of something. I may be friends with Kane but I am nobody's henchman. I am my own man, and if you think for one second that I'm here to play second fiddle to anyone, you're sorely mistaken.

Kane and I may have our differences but when it comes to the WWE Championship, I won't stand idly by. I don't need anyone to fight my battles, Miz. So if you want a piece of me, you've got it. But be prepared, because you're stepping into the ring with the same Daniel Bryan who conquered the world, and I'm not about to let anyone stand in my way!

The Miz vs Daniel Bryan
