That’s what we’re supposed to swallow about Miz’s failed Money in the Bank cash-in at TLC Sunday night.

During Miz TV, the Awesome One told AJ Styles he was impulsive and was desperate to recapture the magic of 10 years ago when he previously cashed in the MITB briefcase, won the world title and main-evented WrestleMania 27. Miz then talked about being in WWE for 15 years being a good company man but still no one respects him, but if he won the title, then maybe people would respect him.

That is some pathetic, weak sauce there. Way to make Miz look even more pathetic and joke-like. He then offered AJ a guest spot in The Marine 7, the direct-to-video franchise that just won’t die.

Finally, Miz tried to claim that because John Morrison actually cashed in the briefcase that it didn’t count and he should have the title shot back. Oh dear God, so after debasing himself and looking like a moron, Miz is gonna get the briefcase back, isn’t he?
