Ziggler continues to accuse The Miz of being a walking gimmick rather than trying to be the best, and says that Miz has become everything he has always hated and wrong with the business, because all he cares about is fortune and fame like his wife Maryse. Miz immediately beats up Ziggler and sends him rolling out of the ring.
