So every time you're in this ring, I'll be watching you. Let me put this in perspective for you, Daniel. Say you go home and see your wife and you daughter, but you step away because Brie hears something outside. I'll be right there watching, studying. Or maybe you'll be doing a backstage interview, talking like a tough guy Then BAAM! I hit you in the back of your head with a steel chair, drag you out to this ring, get a referee and beat you on the spot. You can call me your celebrity stalker, because every breath you take, every move you make, I'll be watching you. Because I'm The Miz, and I'm...
Daniel Bryan: STUPID! You are a complete, worthless, untalented piece of trash! Mike, so help me, if you ever step in the ring with me I will make sure I drive my knee right into your nose and break it!
The Miz: So, Daniel, DO IT! I am awesome! I am the most must-see wrestler on this damn show, and you? You're another word. Overrated! You know what? Your entire career is overrated. In the end you are just going to be a catchphrase and an arm motion. As a matter of fact you're the most overrated wrestler there will ever be. Now, why don't you get out of my ring before my fist gives your face the closure you desire.
Daniel Bryan: Ever since NXT. Ever since that Talking Smack moment I have known I wanted to kick your ***! At Money in the Bank I will gladly take you one on one for my first title defense as WWE Champion!

IN-RING SEGMENT:
Batista: Two nights ago I made someone scream, "I QUIT!" I kicked Jinder Mahal's *** so hard that he had no choice but to verbally tell the world he couldn't go any longer. I am here to stay. This isn't some last minute one last run style thing like Bill Goldberg did. I am not here for a three-minute WWE Championship reign and then leave forever. I am here to be here. I want to be WWE Champion, but like I told the people in the back. I want to work for it. I have not been here, I have the name to back me up, but I wanted to start at the bottom. So, the first thing I did here in my return was target a former WWE Champion from not too long ago in Mahal. Got in in a WrestleMania match, he got me at Payback, and two nights ago at Backlash he became my bitch! Now, whoever is next for Batista, that is to be determined, but what I can say right now is that whoever it is expect a war!
