The Miz will have to continue his search for the respect he thinks he deserves as Rey Mysterio put on a display in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia and showed exactly why he is the WWE 2K22 cover star and a legend in this industry.
The A-Lister jumped Mysterio early, rolling out of the ring to avoid a 619, but he could not escape Dominik Mysterio at ringside, who tossed Miz back into the ring and into the waiting arms of his father.
The Miz dug into his bag of underhanded tricks to try to put away the future Hall of Famer, sling-shotting Mysterio’s head into the bottom ropes before bouncing it off the barricades. After Miz took a swing at Dominik behind the ref’s back, Dominik ducked it and clocked Miz to set up a near-fall.
The Ultimate Underdog escaped a Skull-Crushing Finale to set Miz up for a 619, but as he went for a splash, Miz rolled out of the ring and grabbed a chair before turning around into a splash from Mysterio. As Dominik went to grab the chair from Miz, The A-Lister feigned a fall into the steel steps to have the young Mysterio ejected from ringside. Miz tried to capitalize on Mysterio’s argument with the ref with another Skull-Crushing Finale, but it backfired as Mysterio rolled him up for the pin.
Enraged, The Miz attacked Rey after the bell, but Dominik raced into the ring to aid his father as the duo combined for a double 619 and back-to-back frog splashes to send the crowd into a frenzy as Miz was flattened.
