After he made a dazzling in-ring return to SmackDown LIVE last week and defeated Shinsuke Nakamura in a thrilling bout to secure his place in the WWE World Cup, Rey Mysterio joined fellow World Cup competitor The Miz on a must-see edition of “Miz TV.”
It didn’t take long for The A-Lister to totally downplay and disparage Mysterio’s return to the blue brand and make it clear that, in his opinion, nobody cares about underdog stories anymore. The Biggest Little Man retorted very directly and challenged Miz to a match tonight. This seemingly baffled The A-Lister, who got the jump on Rey-Rey with a flurry of cheap shots, but The Master of the 619 turned it around and got Miz in position for that very move. Miz got out of dodge just in the nick of time, setting up an impromptu bout between Mysterio and The Awesome One.
