The friendship between The Miz and John Morrison is no more. As seen on this week’s episode of Moz showed his true colors by attacking his on-screen as well as real-life friend in a piece of big news. The set of actions also set up a match between the two on the next episode of Monday Night RAW as we move into WWE’s next PPV event, Extreme Rules.
Weeks of tension have been noticed between the former WWE Tag Team Champions while this week’s post-SummerSlam edition of RAW saw The Miz snapping on John Morrison and leaving him lying in the ring with his finisher. This came after the latter distracted Miz in his scheduled match against The New Day member Xavier Woods.

The segment began with celebrity Logan Paul appearing for a Moist TV segment with John Morrison being the host. The Miz eventually came out to interrupt who wasn’t happy about how Morrison didn’t even bother to introduce him. Miz and Morrison ended up arguing as Paul made his exit from the talk show. Then Xavier Woods came out to interrupt them reminding them how he embarrassed the duo at the SummerSlam PPV event.

The Miz will compete against John Morrison, next week
The Miz then competed against Woods in singles action while John Morrison supported him from ringside. Morrison tried to interfere a few times during the match but his antics with the drip-stick eventually back-fired as Miz missed a Skull Crushing Finale attempt. The referee also missed The Miz’s counts while Woods countered with a roll-up for the victory.
After the match, John Morrison apologized and said that it was just an accident. He continued joking around to keep things smooth with his longtime friend. Miz suddenly snapped and attacked him as the fans booed the turn-on. Miz ended up laying out his former friend with a Skull Crushing Finale as the boos got louder.
This appeared to be a similar turn of events as from more than a decade ago when The Miz and John Morrison formed a tag team. The bond was broken with Miz becoming a heel by attacking Morrison in a similar fashion. Now, Miz vs. Morrison has officially been announced for next Monday’s RAW after Morrison featured in a backstage segment where he intended to put an end to the partnership when he gets “that son of a b—h” in the ring.
