OOC: Hey! Sorry for the short one this week. Just got back from vacation- and had camp all day- and a work event until late tonight (The joys of playing catch up!) Best of luck to everyone!
The Miz had come THAT close to becoming the EBWF King of the Ring- before Sami Zayn got the better of him in the events finale, to earn the title for the second time. This would surely not sit well with The Miz, but he would have to have a short memory as he was headed for a first round matchup in the Tag Team tournament with Jimmy Jacobs and Seth Rollins. His partner you ask? A guy who would be making his triumphant (ok maybe not THAT triumphant) return to an EBWF ring... wait for it... A- RI, Alex Riley. In other words, Miz might be on his own in this tourney.
The scene faded in to The Miz and Alex Riley they were by themselves standing up against a white brick wall, both in wrestling gear. They were looking dead into the camera.
The Miz: Close. TOO close. SO close. That's all I've heard these past couple of weeks. "Oh Miz, you were ALMOST King of the Ring." "Oh Miz.. we thought you had it." Sami Zayn- I'll give you credit where it's due. You got me kid.. but trust me.. cherish that win.. because it'll NEVER happen again. It's time to get back on track.. and I can't believe I'm even saying this but A-Ri.. I need your help.
Alex Riley: I got you Miz! I'm pumped to get back in the ring.
The Miz: That makes one of us..
Alex Riley: You're not excited to get in the ring?
The Miz: No.. I'm not excited for YOU to be back in the ring, but I guess it'll have to do. We are facing two guys who would gold medal in the weird Olympics.. well at least Jimmy Jacobs would. Seth Rollins would probably just be off to the side feeling important, with nobody actually THINKING he was important. That's pretty much all he's good for.
Alex Riley: Seems like a cakewalk Miz- even if I will be a little rusty.
The Miz: Jesus, I've seen you "in your prime" i'd hate to see you rusty.
Alex Riley: I got skills Miz.
The Miz: Right- sleeping and eating.. and you aren't even that good at sleeping.
Alex Riley: It's called sleep apnea bro.. it's pretty scary.
The Miz: Whatever- look the point is- We are going to win this match and this whole freaking tournament. I'm sick of having to listen to people talk about how I almost won things. Seth Rollins and Jimmy Jacobs better be ready to hear those same types of sentiments.. well at least the losing parts.. because there's no way they are ALMOST going to beat me... uh.. I mean us.
Alex Riley: Us!
The Miz: Warfare is when normalcy is restored, and normalcy isn't the Miz ALMOST winning.. normalcy is the Miz doing what he does..and that's dominating and winning.. and yeah.. Alex will be there too.
Alex Riley: I'll be there as hell!
The Miz: See you Monday Jacobs and Rollins.. we'll be the team kicking your ass. Because I'm The Miz..
Alex Riley: AND I'm A-RI.
The Miz rolled his eyes. The two both spoke their next lines at the same time.
The Miz: And I'm
Alex Riley: And we're.
The Miz looked at A-Ri and then back at the camera.
The Miz: Awesome.
The Miz stormed off seemingly in a very bad mood. A- Ri gave the camera a peace sign like a tool would, and followed behind Miz as the scene faded to black.
