TNW:R Presents: RAW (6/26/17) // QUALIFYING MATCHES

[AwesomeButAnnoying]

The Miz extends his right arm out and tries to rake Reign's off of his feet!!  

[Leati Joseph Anoai]

Roman is caught off guard by the sudden arm and falls back to the canvas again. Holding his lower back again.  

[AwesomeButAnnoying]

The Miz gorilla beats his chest and raises his right arm up ushering in dominance as he takes a slow glance at the downed Reigns, he smiles as he soaks in the negative feedback that the audience is giving him.  

[Leati Joseph Anoai]

The Big Dog looks on as The Miz taunts and embraces all the hate he's receiving taking time to recover. Roman then begins to try and retreat to the nearest set of ring ropes, using them as leverage if he can.  

[AwesomeButAnnoying]

The Miz, completely unaware of Roman Reign's going to the ropes, would have kept taunting, afterwards he suddenly regains his focus into the match as he would have turned around to face his opponent yet again...  

[Leati Joseph Anoai]

A battered, tired, and frustrated Reigns stood there at his boiling point behind The Miz. Some of the crowd tried to re-direct his attention before it was too late but the damage was already done. Or about to be done anyway. When Mike turned around, there stood the 6'3 250+ pounder. Baring his teeth at Miz to intimidate him before mugging his face several times with degrading slaps.

 

[AwesomeButAnnoying]

A terrified Miz would have been humiliated by Roman Reigns whom was towering over him at the moment, when he received each slap to his face he stepped back until there was no more room left for him to, suddenly he was now against the ropes...  

[Leati Joseph Anoai]

Roman would pry Miz from the ropes and attempt to irish-whip him into the next set of ropes waiting for him to come back now.  

[AwesomeButAnnoying]

The Miz was whipped to the opposite set of ropes, he came sprinting back like a boomerang, running at full speed towards Reigns, not knowing what was going to happen next..  

[Leati Joseph Anoai]

When the Miz returned, Reigns was there to catch and tag him immediately with a very aggressive back-elbow to take him off his feet!

 

[AwesomeButAnnoying]

The Miz was swept off of his feet, landing backfirst onto the mat after having Roman's elbow nailed straight into his moneymaker, he crawled towards the ropes as he was holding onto his face, with his right hand he would have held onto the bottom rope.  

[Leati Joseph Anoai]

Roman felt himself getting pumped, his injuries taking a back-seat to the adrenaline coursing through his veins, as he sized his opponent up. Waiting for him to rise in any corner.  

[AwesomeButAnnoying]

This was only the beginning, as The Miz still had much more fight in him, he couldn't let Reigns gain the upperhand, he used the ropes to as support to get back into a standing stance.  

[Leati Joseph Anoai]

To conserve energy, Roman would walk over toward Mike with purpose. He would attempt to shove him inside of a corner. Then use his arm to bury him under several short-arm clotheslines!!

 

[AwesomeButAnnoying]

The Miz was weakened after receiving the onslaught of short-arm clothesline inside of the corner..
