WWE Backlash

Announced moments ago on the WWE Talking Smack post show, WWE Smackdown General Manager Daniel Bryan confirmed The Miz will defend his Intercontinental Championship against Dolph Ziggler at the WWE Backlash pay-per-view.

Miz and Ziggler got into it at the start of tonight’s WWE Smackdown Live, which led to the match. Miz brought up the Talking Smack from last week and bragged about finally getting attention, which led to Ziggler coming out and sayind the fans saw through Miz. He says Miz just wants to be famous and Bryan was right to call Miz soft, then Ziggler dares him to prove Bryan is wrong. Miz feigned going to fight on the spot but ended up backing away, and Ziggler said Bryan was right and Miz is a coward.
