The Miz was out on WWE Raw to present the 3rd annual Mizzie Awards. It was a WWE version of the Oscars hosted by the most must-see superstar of all-time. He seemed disgusted after the “The Shape of Water” won over “The Marine 5.” He mentioned this was the “Darkest Hour” of the show. So, he went on to present some of his own awards to the WWE superstars.
In reality, this was just a mockery against Seth Rollins and Finn Balor. In case you don’t remember, last week on WWE Raw Rollins defeated The Miz in a singles contest to become a contender for the Intercontinental Championship. If that was not enough bad news for him then Finn Balor also received a match and pinned him with a Coup De Grace.

Kurt Angle was the one to sanction this matchup, all of a sudden. So, the Intercontinental Champion went on a rant against the WWE Raw general manager. According to him, Angle is trying to build all the stacks against him from day one. Despite all of these, he proved to be a strong champion and made this title, so much prestigious.
To insult all three of them, he declared two categories and handed away the awards in the following category,
First Category: Best Superstar at Patting Themselves on the Back (Seth Rollins and Finn Balor)
Second Category: Worst Decision by a RAW General Manager (Kurt Angle)

Rollins and Balor had heard enough of these insults and decided to come to the ring setting up a match against The Miztourage. These two worked smoothly in the match until the end. As Balor was going for the Coup De Grace, Rollins tagged himself into the match and connected with the Curb Stomp to pick up the win.
