Miz TV

Miz and Morrison were in the ring. They introduced Jeff Hardy by saying he has better face paint than 1993 Doink the clown. Morrison made some drug jokes about Hardy too.

Miz said that Jeff had a clip. Jeff didn’t have a clip, so they showed a different clip of Jeff Hardy and Sheamus. This clip didn’t paint Hardy in the best way. The video made Hardy look like he’s always breaking rules. Hardy said he’s about to “break something” if they keep this up.

The Miz said that Hardy is his daughter’s favorite Superstar. She doesn’t even know what’s going on, she just likes bright colors. He said she doesn’t know about the darkness within Hardy and he doesn’t want her putting faith in someone who is going to self-destruct.

Hardy said that he’s going to be a beacon of light for people who struggle with addition. He said that he will show people that there’s a life beyond their wildest dreams waiting for them if they can stay sober. Morrison said he just got goosebumps.

The Miz said that Hardy needs to face Sheamus in a bar fight. They loved that idea, Jeff said it would be like a handicap match with him against alcohol and “The Celtic Butthole.” He said he’s going to take Sheamus out in that bar fight. It looks like this match is on.

Then Jeff offered a match with either of them, but they weren’t about it. Hardy was, and he jumped them both before they left. Cut to commercial.

It seems like WWE doesn’t know what they want to call Jeff Hardy’s signature move. Hardy hit an inverted DDT and avoided a Skull Crushing Finale. He kicked Morrison off the apron and climbed up top.

Then Sheamus appeared on the screen. He was still at home and having a beer. Sheamus said he’s enjoying the entertainment. Then Miz rolled him up, Hardy reversed, and Hardy won.
