Miz has a message for his opponent at Survivor Series, Baron Corbin. They’ve been going back and forth on social media. Miz would knock Baron’s teeth down his throat if he talks about his pregnant wife. Then Corbin talks about not on his wife, but his unborn daughter. Corbin better be ready to step up to the plate because this is not the independent scene or NXT, this is the major leagues. Miz doesn’t strive respect, he demands it. Corbin might be the bathroom break of SmackDown Live, but Miz is the entire show on Raw. Miz is going to make Corbin’s title relevant. When you have a pitcher on the mound throwing 110 MPH, you better be ready to step up to the plate. Miz brings out his special guest, Kurt Angle. Angle is fully supporting Miz in his match with Corbin. Miz doesn’t feel the same way.
Did Miz forget what happen to him at the TLC PPV? Miz says that Angle abused his power to have one more moment with the Shield. Angle says that he’s going nowhere. Raw is about to celebrate their 25th anniversary. They have the best show, the best talent and fans. Smackdown has had a good run, but Shane has a big of an inferior complex. Smackdown will always be known as the B Show. Miz brings up SmackDown taking Raw under sieged. How did Angle retaliate? Miz says that Angle told Kane to ChokeSlam Daniel Bryan. Miz wouldn’t be shocked if Smackdown showed up tonight and put them under siege again. Angle had nothing to do with what Kane did. Angle wants to apologize to Daniel Bryan.
Miz saw a glimpse of the real Kurt Angle when Stephanie tore into him. He saw the vicious Kurt Angle that would get things done by any means necessary. He tried to systematically eliminate Daniel Bryan the same way that he tried to systematically eliminate the MizTourage. Miz thinks that Angle planned the Braun Strowman Attack from last week. When Miz hands go up, Angle’s mouth goes shut. Angle tells Miz to put his hands down. If Angle had nothing to do with what Strowman did to The MizTourage, then why did he put Braun on the Survivor Series Team? One has nothing to do with the other. Braun deserves to be on that team. Braun is a tough negotiator and he asked for a match. Tonight it will be The Miz vs. Braun Strowman. Oh it’s true, it’s damn true.
