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

[Leati Joseph Anoai]

Another kickout, this time via the bottom rope. This surprised Reigns as he now stood back up and away from Mizanin. He didn't like the guy but had to respect his wherewithal to keep trekking on in the thick of battle. Too bad for Miz though as the Big Dog now took his place in the corner. Lockin' and loadin' for another Superman Punch. He extended his arm and planted his fist firmly into the canvas calling for it. All he had to do now was wait until Miz turned around...

 

[AwesomeButAnnoying]

Stunned from the effects of the Samoan Drop, he used the ropes as support to get him back onto his feet, he shakes his head and tries to get back into the game, but he would have stupidly turned around in a dramatic way...  

[Leati Joseph Anoai]

When the Miz turned around, the big Samoan was already on his way. Leaping high into the air, uncharacteristic for any man his size. Showcasing his impressive height and speed this late in the main event. And looking to plant what was most famously known as the Superman Punch square across his jaw!!!

 

[AwesomeButAnnoying]

The Miz with no haste tried to avoid the Superman Punch and instead catch Roman Reigns, putting him inside of a roll-up position...

 

[Leati Joseph Anoai]

Reigns was suckered in by the Miz and pulled down into a roll-up position. The referee sliding down about to commence count.  

[AwesomeButAnnoying]

After capturing the "Big Dog" at his only chance to succeed in this match, The Miz, desperate for a win, seeing as though Reigns was severely weakened after the whole ordeal with Braun and what came after, he would have tried to keep the roll-up position in tact long enough to hear the referee count to three!

1..
2!
....Reigns would attempt to break the pin and get back to his feet thus overcoming his injuries and all throughout the bout.  

[AwesomeButAnnoying]

The Miz as well as the audience could not believe that Roman Reign's had the energy left in him to be able to kick out of the pin!! The constant failure of not being able to successfully pin one another had irritated The Miz, but he wasn't going to let this roadblock in the match stop him from getting a spot at the MITB match. He took a couple of deep breathes before getting back onto his feet to continue the action..

 

[Leati Joseph Anoai]

Reigns was back up to his feet now and when Miz turned would move close closer to send a well placed uppercut to his jaw. To which the crowd would erupt in a "Yay!"  

[AwesomeButAnnoying]

The Miz's jaw would have been cut through by Roman Reigns, he would have stumbled back against the ropes...  

[Leati Joseph Anoai]

Roman yanked Miz off of the ropes and for his efforts in this match would receive yet another uppercut.  

[AwesomeButAnnoying]

The Miz ate another uppercut and would have fell backfirst onto the mat...  

[Leati Joseph Anoai]

A worn out Roman Reigns would back up after seeing Miz drop to the canvas. He'd take his place in the corner once more attempting to call for his finishing maneuver; the Spear.  

[AwesomeButAnnoying]

The Miz sprung up onto his feet, slowly turning towards Reigns' direction...  

[Leati Joseph Anoai]

The crowd was hot for this main event. The egos of both men fueling their will to live in this match. And the knowing that whoever won would be moving on to participate in the 2017 Money in the Bank ladder match. However with a head full of steam and energy following the exchange, Reigns would stand erect again roaring out. "OOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH" once more before bounding towards his opponent to leap forward and Spear him!!
