If you don’t watch Talking Smack after Smackdown LIVE every week, you might have to start. This week saw an incredible heated exchange between Daniel Bryan and the Miz. It started by Bryan saying that the Miz wrestled like a coward and that he was more impressed by Apollo Crews in their match at Summerslam (even though the Miz won).
The Miz blew up on Bryan and cut arguably the greatest promo of his career. He shoots on Bryan for saying that he is a coward. He mentions that he isn’t the one getting injured for long periods of time. He is the one who has worked consistently for 11 years without getting injured. Bryan even says if the WWE would let him come back he would. The Miz responded by saying why doesn’t he quit and go back to the bingo halls with his friends.
Renee Young even looked confused as to what was happening. Bryan stormed off the set and was clearly upset by what happened.
Here is the video:

All I can say is wow. I don’t even know if that was real or scripted. The comments from the Miz were harsh but wow that was an amazing promo from him.
Let us know what you think!
it was awesome. but its a work… anyone would slap the sh&# out of someone in their face like that.
Hmmm. Hard to understand if it was real or a work. Renee Young did an awesome job if it was a work. She literally didnt know how to react, which is what makes me believe it was real.
Maybe there has been beef between Miz and Daniel Bryanson for a while now. I remember in the draft DB didnt even wanna draft Miz but he had to in order to get a belt on his brand. And then I remember a segment when the Miz brought it to DB’s attention about him(DB) not even wanting to draft the Miz.
But maybe….. Just maybe there is some backstage politics going on with Daniel Bryan wanting the Miz to do more “spots” when wrestling. As we all know, DB, and many others, put their body on the line and at risk in wrestling. And the Miz doesnt. So Daniel said he wrestles like a coward and the Miz felt disrespected.
Whenever you “push” someone, the other person has the right to react in any way that he wants to. I dont blame the Miz for shooting on DB.
Another question, what reason is there for the Miz to cut a promo on DB on “Talking Smack” in the first place? To get more viewers on Talking Smack? Thats the only logical reason.
IDK about this situation, but I think it was real.
