The Miz Feared WWE Firing After Talking Smack Clash With Daniel Bryan

During an August 2016 episode of WWE's Talking Smack, Intercontinental Champion The Miz had an intense exchange with co-host Daniel Bryan. Bryan called Miz a coward for his in-ring style, prompting Miz to fire back that Bryan was the one unwilling to return to a WWE ring. Miz later revealed he immediately worried the heated promo had gotten him fired, though he received positive texts from Kevin Dunn and Vince McMahon.
