Xavier Woods def. The Miz
After riling up Logan Paul during “Moist TV,” The Miz had to shift his focus to a matchup against Xavier Woods. John Morrison decided to insert himself in the action with his patented drip stick, inadvertently costing The A-Lister his match against Woods thanks to a quick roll-up.
