Miz still has tiny balls
The Miz welcomed us to Miz TV and ran down the draft thus far and how Raw is benefiting from it, with himself being the biggest draft acquisition.
He eventually got around to introducing Shinsuke Nakamura.
When asked if he thinks he can win the World Heavyweight Championship and Nakamura responded in Japanese, Miz turned it around to how he’s the actual workhorse and Nakamura is a great numberer 2 and tried to recruit Nakamura.
Nakamura told him Miz may have more experience than him, and he taught him a Japanese phrase and the Miz got the fans repeating it.
