This is Miz’s world and the rest of us are just occupying his airspace.
Fresh off of doing nothing on Sunday at Extreme Rules and winning MVP honors at MLB’s celebrity softball game on Monday, The Miz strolled into SmackDown with a singular purpose; to bury the reunion of Team Hell No and any good feelings you may have left for it.
Miz was at his best during his self organized eulogy for Kane and Daniel Bryan.

Sure, Bryan would eventually run through the crowd and attack The Miz from behind. But for a solid five minutes Miz was the perfect pro wrestling character.
Dearly beloved, we regret to inform you that #TeamHellNo might be no longer...

... but @mikethemiz & @WWEDanielBryan's rivalry is ALIVE and WELL! #SDLive pic.twitter.com/O9iRhGxCzZ
Thank you Miz. Thank you for whatever hell that segment was because it was great.
Lost in The Miz being the peak- jerk glory is the fact the WWE is definitely giving us a Miz versus Daniel Bryan one-on-one match at SummerSlam, right? Right? For the love of Talking Smack, don’t take this away from us WWE.
