Miz TV with Daniel Bryan and Kane

The Miz welcomes everyone to Miz TV. He says that people are talking about the reunion of his guests tonight, that is to say Team Hell No. He introduces Daniel Bryan and Kane.

The Miz says that he is out here to be a professional and he only asks that he extends the same courtesy. Daniel says that if he’s asking whether or not he will punch him in the face, the answer is (the fans start to chant YES)… He will be professional. The fans start to boo. The Miz tells the fans they are booing someone who is trying to be civil.

Miz says their history is relevant and impressive. They were tag team champions, they are a well oiled machine. He says he never thought he would see the day, it would be like Justin Timberlake reuniting with NSync. He asks them if they are ready to face The Bludgeon Brothers. Kane says first of all, NSync will never reunite. Kane looks at Bryan and says “JT is just too big a star now.”
