THE
MIZ:
"Brooklyn, at WrestleMania I dropped Shane McMahon flat on his
over-privileged face!" "And the best part? It wasn’t
backstage. It wasn’t through a table or off a scaffold. I beat
Shane in the ring. 1, 2, 3."
[He
plays up the dropkick finish, calling it poetic justice. He talks
about doing it for himself, Maryse, and his father.]
"I did what
every single one of you wanted to do: I shut Shane McMahon up."
[Miz
now calls Greg Hamilton into the ring.]
"Greg, come
in here, don’t be shy. You’ve had to scream ‘Best in the World’
every week like your paycheck depended on it. Well guess what, it’s
a new era on SmackDown LIVE."
[Greg
nervously joins Miz in the ring.]
MIZ,
mockingly:
"How did he used to make you say it? Like this?..."
(in exaggerated
voice)
“THE BEST… IN
THE WOOOOORLD… SHANE… McMAHOOON! Ugh, makes me sick. Let’s try
something different. Let’s hear it the way it should’ve sounded
at WrestleMania. Greg… why don’t you introduce me properly?"
[Greg
Hamilton hesitates, but The Miz smiles and waves it on.]
“Ladies and
gentlemen… THE MIZ!”
MIZ,
grinning:
"Much better. You see, I don’t need to bully people into
saying my name. I let my actions do the talking. Now Shane, I know
guys like you don’t take embarrassment well. I know you're out
there somewhere, watching this, plotting your revenge. I know this
isn’t over for you and that’s fine. Just know one thing: You
wanted a fight? You got one. And next time I won’t just embarrass
you. I’ll end this!"
VIGNETTE:
A cardboard box sits on a table in a completely dark room as
child-like piano music plays over the camera slowly zooming in.
Suddenly the box springs open and a buzzard puppet pops up. The
buzzard turns around a several times as laughter is heard.
NEXT:
The IIconics goad Natalya and Beth Phoenix into putting the WWE
Women's Tag Team Championship on the line against them tonight. With
Natalya and The Glamazon being fighting champions, the impromptu
