[SOUND] >> And they are watching the mission is
first title defense all over the world tonight, ladies and
gentlemen in places like Italy and Germany and Austria, Switzerland, Luxembourg.
And of course, on the armed forces that work.
>> No one's figured it out what a great show tribute to the troops.
I was proud to be a part of that tremendous event this past weekend in MDC
or it's coming your way.
>> Wednesday night, as well on the USA Network.
>> As Randy hammers away on the man.
We talked a little bit earlier, Matt, but what about Randy Orton?
>> Listen, when Randy was champion, he was invited to do media, but
Randy turned it down.
Randy's a private person who leads by example whereas Miz craves the spotlight.
Miz's ego needs the attention.
>> [APPLAUSE] >> It's been good for the WWE.
I mean, I can argue that.
>> [INAUDIBLE] >> Here you go,
Randy stopped being away on the man.
>> King, the last time that the championship was defended at TLC.
We saw a new WWE Champion.
We've been in the ring with the Miz, what does the champion bring?
>> Well, I mean, honestly, you just want my honest opinion, who I think-
>> No, I want you to lie to me, of course.
>> Who I think should win this match?
>> I wanna- >> Randy Orton,
I think Randy Orton is the better superstar hands down.
>> No, I'm gonna argue with you there.
I'll tell you why, cuz Miz should be the superstar of the year.
Look at his accolades for 2010.
He was the tag team champion.
He was the United States champion.
He won the Money in the Bank and he cast in that contract become WWE Champion.
He arguably had the best year of any superstar in the WWE in year 2010.
>> Probably slides sneaky, he's conniving.
He cheats to win again.
>> Who cares as long as he win.
>> I care.
Look at Randy Orton exploding out of a quarter to knock down the man's
control early.
>> I think the WWE Universe cares.
They better get used to misbehave the champion.
>> Randy has to control his emotions here.
There's a lot of animosity between Randy Orton and the Miz,
but Randy has the experience and Randy has poised.
Let's not forget the concept he asked, the goal.
Put your opponents through a table.
>> But did you notice who was in the, the flutter over the shoulder of Randy Orton?
>> [APPLAUSE] >> Alex Riley,
we haven't mentioned him yet tonight and you help him and there he is.
Alex Riley, speaking of the Dallas, Randy.
>> To distract him at all.
>> [APPLAUSE] >> Spins it back, man.
>> There's no way around.
>> [APPLAUSE] >> Yeah, but he's not the WWE champion,
keep that in mind.
>> Catches him over.
>> Did you know this guy has convenently,
Alex Riley put the table back under the ring, the table that.
>> Good point. >> It was smart.
>> Yeah, that's smart.
>> [APPLAUSE] >> Suplex out.
>> He's got him again and I'm ready [INAUDIBLE].
>> We could have a new champion right now if Alex Riley than to conveniently show up
ringside with our that's what Alison.
And again, I think Kim forgot what the rules are.
The snaps are, there are no disqualifications.
Alex Riley can do whatever he wants out here.
You've got to put your opponents to a table to win the championship bottom line.
I mean, I can run in there and help if I wanted.
I mean, anybody could get- >> Really, could you really?
>> And look at Randy Orton again, looking to set up the table in his tables match.
>> I just think the WWE Universe would be proud of a champion that didn't have
to- >> Man.
>> Matches on his own.
>> We got to admit King I was moved by Miz.
>> I'm not taking anything away from Miz.
>> Come on, the Miz is the first champion in history to not use
outside help to win a championship to help them through matches.
Come on. >> I'm not saying that.
>> I'm not saying that he's not the first champion and history to do that,
to us that.
I'm just saying he does that.
He uses that outside interference, but outside.
>> And now it's been setting up the table.
>> And this is urgency is picking up Jessica leaving the bathroom in his mind.
Of course, he remembers it was John Cena that lost
the WWE Championship to Sheamus through a table.
Was it an errant slip?
>> And look at Randy Orton.
>> Was it by Sheamus's hand?
>> It doesn't matter.
Sheamus put him through a table and won,
and look at the uppercut by Randy Orton to the Miz.
>> [APPLAUSE] >> Table, table, table time.
>> Look at Randy Orton, perhaps coming off the step, gonna put Miz through the table.
Will we have a new WWE Champion here?
And Miz's surviving and Orton's skull first off the steel.
>> [APPLAUSE] >> Man see how wide his eyes got.
He realized that his championship reign was close to coming to an end.
>> And did you see the Miz?
Such an egotist [INAUDIBLE].
>> [APPLAUSE] >> So?
>> So come on.
Randy Orton in trouble.
Miz, those heavy, steel steps in hand perfectly legal in this environment.
>> [APPLAUSE] >> This is not good.
Watch your back, Randy.
>> Again, off the skull of Orton.
>> And Randy Orton Been pummeled down by the Miz.
>> [APPLAUSE] >> Miz
promise to answer the critics here tonight.
>> We may seem like a small thing, but notice how smart he is going
through a table right where he's standing as opposed to try to cut the ribbon and
get the table that's already set up on the other side, not wasting any time.
>> [APPLAUSE] >> I don't know if I can take both you
guys singing the prays.
>> No, I'm not singing the king, not at all.
I'm not singin the prays, I'm trying to call it down the middle as best I can.
>> [APPLAUSE] >> Now Randy Orton.
And again, that's some of the paralels you have with this table mat mat,
sometimes the table don't stand up the way you want to.
>> The man's a WWE champion, perfect and he couldn't set that table up.
>> [APPLAUSE] >> The thing about Miz,
he's heard the s erve a pizza said about him that maybe he shouldn't be camping.
Maybe he did take the shortcut the way he's gonna prove tonight.
He's gonna tonight that he should be the champ and be put through a cable.
He can't well deserves it and look at Randy again.
There's wisely down again gotta go to the top.
We're gonna take Randy you're down here.
The man's from the theory >> [APPLAUSE]
>> Wisely,
now if Randy would have rolled out of the way while the Miz was in mid flight,
we could have a new WWE Champion.
>> That would have been fabulous.
>> Randy Orton right back on the attack on the Miz again.
>> [APPLAUSE] >> Miz counter.
>> [APPLAUSE] >> This is a vicious streak tonight.
I'm nervous, no doubt about it.
There's got a mean streak of my wife.
>> [APPLAUSE] >> Now right down here
in front of the announced table, news with yet another table.
Miz is in control at this juncture gentlemen.
>> [APPLAUSE] >> That table in the ring.
>> [APPLAUSE] >> Miz's
strategy seems to be to disorient Randy just enough to place Randy on the table.
A lot of these smashing the head against the steel steps works in the Miz's faith.
>> Yeah, he just need them out enough to put him on the table.
So he can go through it.
>> And the Miz, that is vintage Miz there.
>> [APPLAUSE] >> WWE Champion.
>> [APPLAUSE] >> It's time to gloat.
>> Soaking the prays.
Praise, I don't hear any praise, accept from you two.
>> It's the king, it's Michael.
Michael is a fan of the Miz, he's allowed to be a fan of the Miz.
The same way you're allowed to root for Randy Orton.
>> I'm not rooting for Randy Orton.
I'm rooting against The Miz.
>> And Miz with that table set up in the corner.
And again, Randy Orton trying to kick the cobwebs out of his head, but
this is what the Miz needs.
>> My favorite superstar is anybody that's wrestling the Miz.
>> And look at this, Randy Orton, will he go throught the table?
Don't count on it.
>> Hey. >> And Randy [INAUDIBLE].
>> [INAUDIBLE] he buys himself a little bit of time.
>> Nice. >> [APPLAUSE]
>> And when Randy came up his first look
was at the table that visit placed in the corner.
So we're very well aware of where the table is.
>> [INAUDIBLE] stirring king is smiling here at the table.
Could we be seeing the end of the Miz championship reign?
>> I just love the way Randy Orton is clearing that table.
>> Man.
>> With the count of a table goes through the Miz.
>> [APPLAUSE]
>> Look at Riley.
>> Well, he's concerned.
>> His mentors in trouble >> In trouble, yeah.
>> Turn him around.
>> This could be better.
>> [APPLAUSE] >> Sadly challenger control.
My God.
>> A nice, slightly paid dividends twice.
Well, that's why he gets paid >> [APPLAUSE]
>> Disqualifications in a tables match.
>> [APPLAUSE] >> Alex Riley,
again saving [INAUDIBLE] superplex perfectly
delivered, but there was no table there.
>> [APPLAUSE] >> Good morning.
>> [APPLAUSE] >> I've somehow I've
got a feeling that if someway, the Miz were to emerge victorious here tonight.
He won't remember that.
>> [LAUGH] >> He won't remember that Alex Riley saved
him not once but twice.
You Miz, it will be all missed, exchanging blows.
>> [APPLAUSE] >> Yeah, now Miz paid for
that, now Randy Orton.
>> [APPLAUSE] >> Now he violated.
>> Is starting to fire up.
>> [APPLAUSE]
>> How many times have we seeing this?
>> [APPLAUSE] >> The WWE Apex's predator is in
hunt mode.
>> I wanted to give him hunt mode, I'd love to see that.
>> [APPLAUSE] >> Well, you got your wish a little bit.
No, look at this.
Randy Orton, Miz in trouble, Miz in deep trouble.
>> [APPLAUSE] >> Vintage on him.
>> [APPLAUSE] >> And
now, Randy Orton with Miz stunned momentarily.
Looks to put a table back into the ring.
Got to put the champ through.
>> [APPLAUSE] >> Did you see Alex hit his head
nice incapacitate Riley.
>> And look at Randy's poise.
Randy could have easily focused the attack on Alex Riley, but
Randy understands what's at stake.
>> He's a seven time world champion, Matt.
I mean, he's a veteran.
Randy knows what he's doing at all times in the ring realizes the task at hand.
He's not to take his frustrations out on any right, but
to put the champion through a table.
[APPLAUSE] >> Again,
table set up, middle of the ring, Miz slowly stirring.
Miz went with a wild clothesline, look at Orton back breaker.
>> [APPLAUSE]
>> Come on, Miz.
Get up run, do something.
>> Yeah, run.
>> Do something. >> Look at this.
>> Miz is right on the edge of the table, doesn't know where he's at,
Orton's in RKO position.
>> [APPLAUSE] >> No, maybe not.
Maybe worse than that and
Randy again facing the distraction.
>> [APPLAUSE] >> Miz [INAUDIBLE].
>> [INAUDIBLE] the referee knocking right through the rope to Alex Riley.
That's gotta feel good, an RKO to A-Ry.
>> [APPLAUSE] >> Now,
the Miz and the ref have gone nighty night out here.
Thanks to Randy Orton.
And now,
Orton has
turned his
attention to
Alex Riley.
>> [APPLAUSE] >> Watch that from behind, Miz,
skull crushing finale.
>> [APPLAUSE]
>> He's getting O'Riley out of his way.
Miz gotta [INAUDIBLE].
>> [APPLAUSE]
>> [INAUDIBLE]

>> [APPLAUSE] >> What do you mean?
The Miz is awesome.
>> That's smart.
>> That's awesome.
That was awesome >> Are you kiding me?
>> Alex Riley went through the table.
The Miz had the will with Alex Riley.
The table and take advantage when the referee came through.
The Miz is a king.
>> You're admitting, you're out of your stupid mouth.
You're admitting what just happened.
>> The referee obviusly heard something.
He [INAUDIBLE] table the bottom line is he did what he had to do
champions find a way to win >> Here we go watch this
Randy a ride through the tail.
Capitalize with a cheap shot from behind.
>> The light bulb goes off the head of the WWE Champion.
The referees pretty much out and the measures are [INAUDIBLE] Katie wouldn't be
in a position that he's not in the cage, lie, cheat and steal.
It's the way it works.
>> It's the shortest time, I've ever seen a champion match.
Look at this.
>> Champions do what they have to do to win.
That's why they remain champions.
That's why the Miz is awesome.
No matter how he did it, he won the match.
>> While we're watching the replay, so is the official.
>> Wait a minute.
>> [APPLAUSE] >> This is, here's your must see TV.
He wanted to see himself again, but he forgot the referee was seeing it.

Randy Orton Orton was sent through the table, The Miz is still the WWE Champion.
