After a turbulent several days of contract negotiations … and re-negotiations … and thinly-veiled Twitter insults, The Miz finally signed a new contract with SmackDown LIVE! However, much to his surprise, and thanks to the fine print, his first action as a re-signee was to defend his Intercontinental Championship against Dolph Ziggler, and, if he didn’t, his new contract would be null-and-void.

The two went back and forth for a while until, much like their match at Backlash, Maryse attempted to spray an unidentified substance into Ziggler’s eyes. However, unlike the pay-per-view, Miz’s wife was caught and the referee promptly ejected Maryse from ringside. Yet, the commotion still proved to be too much for The Showoff to overcome, as The A-Lister defeated Ziggler by slyly spraying Ziggler himself with the substance behind the referee’s back to retain his championship.

The Miz's Intercontinental Championship is on the line against Dolph Ziggler on SmackDown LIVE.
