Hey guys! Had fun with this one, I hope you enjoy the read! Good luck to Cat and Chloe/Dohkster and Ben
There are few duos who have been through as much as Allen Jones AKA AJ Styles and Mike Mizanin AKA The Miz. The two have feuded both on and off screen, they have been best friends, turned bitter enemies, turned best friends again, and somehow seem to just roll with everything to the point that to an outside onlooker you would never suspect everything the pair had experienced together. As 2012 came to a close, Miz and Styles were starting the new year the same way they did the current one, on the same page with their sights set on Championship Gold. Only this time it wasn't a piece of gold that would tear their friendship apart, instead it was gold that to earn it, any trace of past drama would have to be checked at the door, because a united force is what they'd need to be to start their reign as the EBWF Tag Team Champions.
The scene opened up with a wide shot of the outside of a YMCA. The scene then faded inside and we had a close up shot of The Miz and AJ Styles sitting behind a long table. AJ wore his "I'm The Man" T-Shirt and had a name tag that said "Hello My Name Is: AJ" while The Miz wore his "Your Favorite Wrestler's Favorite Wrestler" shirt on and a Name Tag that said "Hello My Name Is: Miz" He wore the Intercontinental Championship on his shoulder. A pop up graphic showed up between the two former EBWF Champions that read "The Miz" under Mike and "AJ Styles" under Allen. Miz began.
The Miz: Hello I'm The Miz.
AJ Styles: And I'm AJ Styles
The Miz: But if you can read, you already knew that since that graphic just popped up under us.
AJ Styles: But if you can't, like Zack Ryder, then there you go, we just introduced ourselves again.
The Miz: But AJ not everyone's a wrestling fan, so some people watching this might not even know who The Miz and AJ Styles are..
Beat. Then both men started cracking up laughing, as if this was a ridiculous thought.
AJ Styles: Nope couldn't do it, couldn't keep a straight face of course they know who we are.. no further explanation needed.. so without further ado, here's a further explanation. We are The Miz and AJ Styles. We are two former World Champions, two former and in your case Miz, CURRENT Intercontinental Champions, the next EBWF Tag Team Champions, and last but certainly not least, the two coolest guys you'll ever want to meet. We are.. The SEQUEL.
The Miz: You get it, because like, we were the Trilogy. Then that ended, so now it's the second time we've been allies. So instead of the Trilogy, it's now The sequel. Since there's two of us, not three, and it will be the second time we've dominated this company together. So it's like the sequel to the first time.
AJ Styles: It works on so many levels.
The Miz made a motion with his hand and a "boooosh" sound effect to indicate that his mind was being blown.
The Miz: Only in our case the sequel will be a thousand times better than the original.
AJ Styles: Yeah since we got rid of Ted.
The Miz: Yeah and Funaki.
AJ Styles: Funaki was pretty great though.
The Miz mouthed words, seconds later this was heard.
The Miz: (Funaki voiceover) INDEED!
AJ and Miz both looked up startled. They then refocused.
AJ Styles: Anyways you're probably all wondering why we're on your TV or computer screens right now. Here at a YMCA/Boys and Girls Club, like we're about to leave the Cleveland Cavaliers to join The Miami Heat.
The Miz looked at AJ, he wasn't happy.
The Miz: Low blow dude.
AJ Styles: Sorry buddy, anyways, we are here today to talk about forgiveness. Now it's no secret that Miz and I have had our differences. He's dating my ex girlfriend, I've kicked his ass on more than one occasion. He's talked about kicking my ass on more than one occasion.
The Miz looked at AJ cross, but had no comeback, in truth AJ has owned Miz in one on one competition.
AJ Styles: The point is, we've hit some pretty low points, and here we are today, united, strong, and set to become the new EBWF Tag Team Champions.
The Miz continued the cheesy vibe to this whole "after school special" segment.
The Miz: That's right AJ, the point kids, adults, ladies
The Miz winked into the camera.
The Miz: Is that no matter how bad things get. No matter how mad you are, it's normal. Friends fight, friends have disagreements, but you can always forgive each other. Now I'm not saying you guys are like us, because let's face it, on so many levels you aren't like us. You might like us... heck you might love us.. why wouldn't you... but you'll never BE like us.. unfortunately.. mostly for you.. because AJ and I as friends.. when we fought then forgave each other.. it's going to lead to us becoming the Tag Team Champions. When you fight and forgive your friends.. you are probably still both going to be accountants.. and being an accountant has got to just be awful.
AJ Styles: Painful.
The Miz: Speaking of awful. I think our viewers might be interested in hearing a little bit about the two teams that have the unenviable task of trying to keep us from winning the Tag Titles tomorrow night.
AJ Styles nodded in agreement.
AJ Styles: Dynamite segway Miz. It's actually perfect that we're in the building of a non profit organization, because our opponents have never made this company a profit!
The Miz: BA-ZING! Cleverly done there AJ, but folks not far from the truth. I mean just take a look at the teams we'll be going against. Trent Barreta and Zack Ryder. Now alright don't get me wrong these guys are cool guys. I'd hang out with them, but beat us..
The Miz fought back laughter.
The Miz: In a wrestling match? I mean it's like the Jets scoring 20 points, it's just never going to happen. I mean if this was like a Sega Genesis tournament then, I'd be a little concerned about Trent. Or if this was a who can quote Jersey Shore episodes from start to finish competition, Zack might pose a legit threat. Although I'm pretty well versed on all that is JS. Yeahh Buddy!
AJ Styles: Don't ever do that.
The Miz bowed his head.
The Miz: Sorry.
AJ Styles: Like Miz is saying. Trenty and Zack mean well. They work hard, they don't step on anyone's toes. But facts are facts, and human nature is human nature. The fact is we're us and they're them. We're on an entirely different level than them. My boy Trent started off hot here, he was undefeated for a good while. Then he started to get pumped up with the big boys and he fell off. He's not ready to compete with anyone but guys like Zack, who again are fun to cheer for, but not exactly studs in the squared circle. Maybe we can call Glacier back to wrestle Trent or Zack, they could definitely beat him.
The Miz: I doubt we'll be able to get ahold of him. He'll probably just continue to freeze us out.
AJ and Miz belly laughed sarcastically.
AJ Styles: Oh man, good times.
The Miz: The simple fact alone that Trent and Zack lost the tag titles to our other "fine opponents." Seth Rollins and Dean Ambrose, speaks for itself. I mean those guys are an even bigger laugher than Trent and Zack. They walk around here, insisting like they've made a name for themselves, when I still honestly couldn't tell you which one was which.
AJ Styles: Maybe that's because Seth has bashed you in the face with your IC Title.. or was it Dean that did that.
The Miz: Again I really don't know.
AJ Styles: So should we just destroy both of them, and not ask questions?
The Miz: You just asked a question.
AJ Styles: When?
The Miz: You just did it again.
AJ Styles: Son of a bee sting, you are right I did.
The Miz: But yes.. I think destroying them, instead of playing the name game sounds like an excellent plan. I'm not good with names to begin with especially the names of guys whom the more they try to get people to pay attention to them, the less people care. I mean they've put Dean or Seth or whoever, on TV with me, he's slash they've sneak attacked me, they've breathed the same oxygen as me, yet not one person could care less about them. They always say cliff hanger things like "this is just the beginning" or "this is just getting started" And I'm just sitting there watching these guys like "well there's a to be continued, that I will continue to not be interested in." I mean really? What is getting started exactly? Your reign as Tag Team Champions? Well bad news boys, but The Sequel has plans to end that before it can really even pick up any steam. Don't take it personal, it's just in my case, my right shoulder has the Intercontinental Title on it all the time, and my left one is just incredibly cold, so I just need another belt to keep it warmer.
AJ Styles: Have you tried wearing long sleeves?
The Miz: I just get too warm, in long sleeves.
AJ nodded.
AJ Styles: Hot flashes?
The Miz looked confused.
The Miz: No AJ, I'm not going through menopause I just am saying I don't like wearing long sleeves. The Tag Team Title belt will work just fine to keep my other shoulder occupied.
AJ nodded.
AJ Styles: Nothing is going to give me the satisfaction of beating the crap out of those two weirdos on Christmas Eve. They had the nerve to call me the worst father of the year! The worst they said.. I mean was there an award show.. did I really win that award? That's just a horrible thing to even think about.. especially considering the fact.. that much like I am in the ring, I'm a phenomenal father. So it's weird that they would even choose that as ammo.
The Miz: It's weird they are even in the EBWF.
AJ nodded in agreement.
AJ Styles: You know something Miz, it is weird that they are even in EBWF.
The Miz: It's weird that they beat you last week.
AJ Styles: Oh right they did, which one was it again?
The Miz shrugged.
The Miz: No idea.
AJ Styles: Right, I was probably so confused with trying to figure it out, that I just forgot to win the match.
The Miz: Lucky for you, this time you will have me to remind you.
AJ smiled.
AJ Styles: Unfortunately for them, lightning will not strike twice. The world may have not ended when I was pinned by De.. Set.. whichever one it was.. but hell definitely got a little bit colder. Tomorrow night we will take it upon ourselves to warm it back up again. We can't have guys like that running around here with confidence, acting like they are going to win shit...
The Miz: Language, we're at a YMCA!
Two young boys walked in the background of the scene.
Young Boy 1: SO I said, bitch give me my money, and she said no, so I didn't even get to buy chicken nuggets at lunch today, because that damn bitch has my money.
Young Boy 2: Fuckin A man.
The Miz and AJ looked at each other.
The Miz: Nevermind.
AJ Styles: Like I was saying we can't have guys like these two, gaining confidence. We need to remind them of how things work around here, and though by losing the other night, I made it a little confusing for them, tomorrow night at Christmas Eve of Destruction, I'll pele kick some reality back into their thick skulls, because if they think that winning is something they can get used to, they are going to be in for a very sad and disappointing Holiday Season.
The Miz smirked.
The Miz: Another one to add to the collection for them I'm sure. With regards to being consistently sad and depressed during the Holidays I'm sure this is "just the beginning" for them.
AJ laughed at Miz referencing the vague statements they were making fun of the Tag Champs for earlier in this YMCA PSA gone awry.
The Miz: I feel like we keep forgetting to even consider that this match also includes Zack and Trent.
AJ Styles: That's because they just sent us an invitation to go to an ugly sweater party after the match. How could guys like this, actually even be worth talking about.
The Miz lit up as if he'd be reminding of something.
The Miz: Oh yeah! I meant to ask you are you going to go.
AJ Styles: Na I doubt it, I don't like to wear anything ugly. I'm only into fancy clothes.
AJ looked down at his very plain, simple, and to the point sloganed t-shirt.
The Miz: Of course. Alright look we kind of got off track with this. Here's the bottom line. If you have a disagreement with your friend, get over it, become friends again. Go see a movie, go bowling, and on Christmas Eve pop some popcorn, make yourself comfortable and watch, as The Sequel rolls over both BarRyder and Seth Rollins and Dean Ambrose. You may not know what's going to be under your tree on Tuesday Morning, but an early Christmas Present from us, will be to end the days of you having to listen to or watch Rollins and Ambrose do or say anything on national TV ever again. This warning is "the beginning of the end."
AJ Styles: The end of the beginning.
The Miz: Has begun.
AJ Styles and The Miz: Mwahaha
AJ and Miz shared a quick smile, as the mocking continued of the tag champs.
The Miz: Oh wait, I don't think we're supposed to mock them. They said we would.
AJ Styles: Well they were right, they must be psychic.
The Miz: Well in that case maybe they'll just show up and hand us their belts. That's what a psychic would do, especially a psychic who wants to avoid undeniably excruciating pain. Not to mention the humiliation of trying to act THAT tough and scary only to get brutalized like the wimpy kids at recess who refused to give up their lunch money.
AJ Styles: Hated those kids, just give up the money already.
The two young kids from before walked back into the scene and screamed forward in passing.
Young Boy 2: That's what I'm fucking saying!
AJ and Miz looked back quick then back at the camera.
The Miz: Alright, we got to wrap this up. I will leave you all with this. In a little over a week many of you will make New Years Resolutions, but as always AJ and I are ahead of the curve, and quite honestly a little bit better than everyone else, so we've decided to make ours right now. Our New Years Resolution is to help every wrestler in this business who thinks they are something special, realize that they are not, by beating their misguided thoughts right out of their delusional heads.
AJ Styles: It's our pleasure really.
The Miz: As the new Tag Team Champions, we will ensure that no MORE in the EBWF will two jamoaks like Rollins and Ambrose, or even Ryder and Barreta if I'm being honest, be able to possess Tag Team Gold. A Styles and Miz victory, is a victory for relevance in the tag team division, which means it's a victory for the EBWF, it's a victory for America. It's a victory that is going to make our Christmas particularly merry this year. Rollins and Ambrose whether they like it or not, will be giving us our favorite presents of the Christmas Season tomorrow night, and they won't even have to wrap it! 2013 will be our year.. this really WILL "just be the beginning."
BECAUSEEEEEE WE'REEEEEEE THEEEEE SEQUELLLLLLL AND WEEE HAVEEE NOOOOO
AJ Styles: EQUALLLLLLLLL!
The scene faded away slowly as AJ and Miz seemed pretty proud of their rhyming catchphrase. Who would walk out of CEOD with the tag titles? Only time would tell. The scene faded out completely to black.
First one was good.. but I can't wait for the Sequel!
