WWE Raw Star Passionately Demands More Respect

WWE

A veteran WWE star and two-time Grad Slam Champion is tired of the lack of respect they receive and has made their feelings very clear.

Tommaso Ciampa’s recent return on WWE Raw saw the star attack The Miz, beating and chastising The A-Lister for not having spoken to him during Ciampa’s nine-month absence.

The animosity between the pair would continue on the June 26 episode of WWE Raw with the pair set for a rematch.

Ciampa reflected on their past together referring to this opponent as “Mr. Tiny Balls” during a backstage interview with Byron Saxton, saying:

“I spent the last nine months of my life rehabbing from hip surgery.

Do you know how many times The Miz reached out with phone calls, text messages, anything? Zero.

For the last nine months, I haven’t heard one peep from Mr Tiny Balls.

That’s funny? You know what’s funny? People warned me about The Miz.

They said he was a user and a manipulator. And, they were right. And this injury was a blessing in disguise.”

During WWE Raw, the pair would come to blows, with The Miz jumping Ciampa in a sneak attack during the returning star’s entrance.

The furious star would mock Ciampa, throwing him around the outside of the ring, into the ring apron and barricades before hitting a skull crushing finale to further make his point.

Byron Saxton would catch up The Miz after the incident to discuss what had transpired during WWE Raw, with The Miz saying:

“I had my arms wide open. My good buddy, my good friend, Tommaso Ciampa is back in WWE, give me a hug buddy. And, he sucker punches me.

“That’s the thanks I get for everything I’ve done for him, for all the opportunities I’ve given him.

“What? He’s mad that I didn’t call him? He didn’t call me. He didn’t text me. Boo frickin’ hoo.

“I don’t call anybody. You call me. We were just in Cleveland, my home town.  Do you think I called any of my friends that I went to high school with? My long term friends? No.

“I don’t call them. They call me. They want to hang out with me. I’m the superstar. Do we understand that?

“Put some respect on my name. I am tired of the lack of respect that I get.

“I’m the two-time Grand Slam Champion. What’s he done? 

“Granted, he’s an immense talent. There’s no denying the talent that he has. But, he’s not done it in WWE. I’m the veteran.”

The Miz would end by pointing out that Byron Saxton isn’t the one that matters and it’s The Miz that matters.
