WWE MAIN EVENT 11.21.12 (Episode 8)
-Recap of last week’s show where Miz and Ziggler set up this week’s match.

-Michael Cole and JBL are the announce team tonight,

-Miz makes his way to the ring. Before he says anything of substance, Dolph Ziggler makes his way to the ring. Ziggler says the show is main event, and that he is the main event, Mr. MITB, the sole survivor from Survivor series, and he is too big a star to sit backstage with Matt Striker’s moustache. He mocks Miz for losing at Survivor Series, and then Ziggler says he will out class Miz in every way tonight. Miz says Ziggler is finally getting some spotlight, but the fact is that everything about Ziggler is fake. Miz discusses main eventing WM and beat John Cena, and Ziggler mocks him saying we have heard it a hundred times Ziggler says he steals the show every night, while Miz says the same thing over and over. So Miz replies by saying the same shit again, and adds that he did it on his own. He also adds that he cashed in MITB like a man, meanwhile Ziggler carries his around like a blanky. Ziggler says that Miz is the past, while he is the future. People will look back on this week, they will see Ziggler taking out Cena, winning at Survivor Series and shutting Miz up. Miz then says it will go like it always does, Ziggler will choke. Miz says Ziggler will fail, because Ziggler is nothing but a constant failure, and a future nothing. Miz adds that Ziggler is scared to try and cash in; because when he fails all he’ll have is an old woman and a crappy shirt. Cheap shot by Ziggler, and Miz tells a ref to ring the bell…
