One Happy Person On Christmas

[D.J]

Sometimes the most fun thing about the EBWF is the familiarity of the match-ups. The rivalries that form are what makes the EBWF the company that it is. Throughout the course of time, superstars in this business form friendships, but too often circumstances lead those friendships to become bitter hatred, when glory and success are up for grabs. The Miz, Sami Zayn, and Kevin Owens are a perfect example of this fact. The Miz and Zayn had been through countless battles, while The Miz and Kevin Owens were former stable mates who now can't stand the sight of each other. In the EBWF, regardless of history between superstars being on top of the business is all that matters, it's all anyone focuses on in the day to day. The Miz was the EBWF Gateway Champion, which was a distinct and sought after title, because of what it represented. The EBWF Gateway Championship, was literally a golden ticket to the EBWF World Championship, it represented an opportunity that every man who laced up their boots really coveted. The Miz had his eyes on the title, for a lot of reasons, but mostly because of the fact that the men who held the title, AJ Styles, was the man whom The Miz had most recently defeated. Albeit that it was laced with controversy, The Miz was victorious as he often was. In order for The Miz to get his chance at AJ, he would have to retain the title against 2 very hungry competitors, 2 guys that hated Miz, but also had stars in their eyes, and wanted a return to the pinnacle of sports entertainment.

The scene opened up backstage at Christmas Eve of Destruction. The camera zoomed in on a star on the door that read "The Miz" next thing we knew we were inside the locker room of the Gateway Champion, The Miz. The Title rest on a glass table in the middle of the room. Michael Cole inhabited the room by himself. A toilet flushed, and out walked The Miz, who was wearing a dark blue suit. He seemed startled that Michael Cole was in his dressing room waiting for him.

The Miz: Michael, are you freaking kidding me? You don't even knock?

Michael Cole: The door was open...?

The Miz: That doesn't mean... oh whatever.. let me guess.. you want to pick my enormous brain on my thoughts on my match on Christmas Eve?

Michael Cole: Am I that transparent?

The Miz smirked.

The Miz: I wouldn't say you were transparent at all.. you butterball.. but I will give you some of my thoughts. Ready.. buckle up.. here they come. The fact of the matter is that Christmas is the most magical time of the year. Families come together, friends reunite, people get time off from their jobs. It's beautiful.. it really is. There's gifts.. there's lights.. there's stockings.. it's amazing. However, my match Michael, my match is NOTHING of the sort. My match is not going to be beautiful, it's not going to be bright.. there's not going to be stockings.. maybe spanks with Kevin in there.. but no stockings... there are no friends about to reunite.. it's not going to be anything like your typical Christmas season, Cole. What's going to happen is.. The Miz.. Sami Zayn.. and Kevin Owens.. are going to enter a ring.. there's going to be Tables.. Ladders.. Chairs.. electricity.. and it's all going to be coming from this beautiful bastard right here. All 3 of us are going to enter the ring..people are going to be interested for all of 2 minutes.. because 2 minutes in.. it's going to become crystal clear.. that it's talent vs. jamoaks.. that it's skill vs.. ramen noodles.. that it's Class vs. ass.. that it's The Miz vs. two mushrooms that are WAY below the quality of superstar that it takes to give me any kind of run for my money.. these two can't even give me a walk for my money. Sami Zayn is a guy Michael, who I have beat every which way but loose over the course of the last couple of years. He's a guy who started off hot in this company, everyone thought it was just adorable how successful he was so fast... since then.. it's blah zilla.. since then.. he's the last pick of the draft.. Mr. Irrelevant.. and that's not going to change on Christmas. If he asked Santa to matter. he's going to be really freaking disappointed. You see I'm not a bad guy Michael.. I just refuse to let anyone be happy at my expense.. I just refuse to let anyone have any sort of success at the cost of me losing.. Sami Zayn, may resurrect his career.. he may turn things around.. but it's not going to happen tomorrow night. He's not going to gain the EBWF Gateway Championship.. and if he thinks he is.. he might as well go under a gateway into an insane asylum because he's god damn delusional. Sami Zayn.. it's not fun anymore.. it's not cute anymore.. it's actually just sad. The thing about The Miz.. is that I'm timeless. It's been 6 straight years of The Miz being a god damn institution in this place. If there's gold.. The Miz is close by.. if there's success I'm not too far away. I'm the Gateway Champion now.. and there's nothing I haven't done around here.. and beating Sami Zayn multiple times is on my long list of accomplishments.. but I don't even really consider it an accomplishment.. because usually accomplishments take effort.. they take focus.. they take well they take something.. and me beating Sami in the past has literally taken NOTHING out of me. Sami Zayn is dead.. he's no longer a star on the rise.. he's ashes on the ground.. and on Christmas Eve.. I'm going to make sure that he hits an even lower bottom than he already has.

Michael Cole: What about Kevin Owens? He's gotta be hungry for a win against you given your history.

The Miz got a shit eating grin on his face.

The Miz: Of course he's hungry.. he's always hungry...

Michael smiled.

The Miz: I had to Michael.. you were like Chris Paul with that assist.

Michael Cole: I knew it as soon as the words came out of my mouth.

The Miz: Not much comes out of Kevin's mouth.

Michael Cole: Ouch.. another one.

The Miz: Ok DJ Khaled relax.. the truth of it is.. I'm sure Kevin is... hungry.. for a win. He's the classic example of the guy who everybody is like.. "well Owens is there.. I'm sure he'll do some damage." Then he like forgets to do any damage. There's little nothing about Kevin Owens, except his gut, that sticks out. There's nothing about him that makes me get out of my seat.. there's nothing intriguing.. there's literally nothing to see there.. except one thing. At Christmas Eve, the one thing to see with Kevin Owens.. is that he's going to get brutalized by the only guy who ever made him matter in this company, and that's me. Because when Kevin was with me.. people looked at him and they didn't say "ew." They looked at him with respect, they looked at him with fear.. and not just fear that he was going to take the last piece of pizza.. fear that he was actually going to kick their ass. Now they look at him, with pity.. they look at him and say "aw that's so sad.. he's trying so hard to be something.. but without Miz.. he's just a human Capri Sun that hasn't been consumed yet.' Well Kevin.. I love Capri Sun.. and I'm going to suck all the air and juice out of you on Christmas Eve. I'm going to deflate your ego.. and your self esteem to the point where it is completely non existent. I'm going to make you hate yourself.. just as much as I hate you.. and everyone else does. I'm going to make you look in the mirror, and say "Ew." Like the rest of us when we look at you. I'm sorry Kev, but I just refuse to live in a world, where you have any kind of notoriety in this business. You're just. well you're just not good.. and I can't have ANOTHER guy who's not good.. do well. Our World Champion is a pot smoking low life.. so I'm not going to let a Pot Roast eating.. no life.. take the EBWF Gateway Championship.. no way.. no how.. no chance.. not on my watch.. hash tag facts.

Michael Cole: Any final thoughts, Miz?

The Miz: They're simple MIchael. I'm the god damn Miz.. and until further notice.. that means a whole heck of a lot around here. I'll be damned if I'm going to let two jamoak-a-dokes.. who I've owned for the past 2 years.. change how much that means. This title on the table there.. is staying around this perfect waist. My money maker is this gorgeous face.. but it's also my immense talent.. and on Christmas Eve.. whether Sami and Kevin were naughty or nice.. this match is going to be the equivalent of a stocking full of coal.. because the only person leaving happy on Sunday Night.. will be me.

BECAUSE I'M THE MIZ

AND I'M AWESOME

The Miz shooed Michael out of the room as the scene faded to black.
