What's the story?

WWE WrestleMania 34 took place at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome arena in New Orleans. After the pre-show had taken place, the main WrestleMania show started with the Miz defending his Intercontinental title against Seth Rollins and Finn Balor. 

Prior to his title defence however, backstage Miz confronted two celebrities who had opinions about his match. Sal Vulcano and Brian Quinn of TruTV's hit show, 'Impractical Jokers' found themselves face to face with the Miz backstage. 

In case you didn't know...

Impractical Jokers is a show where four friends play practical jokes on each other in a public setting, with the one who is unable to complete all the challenges facing a 'Punishment' at the end of the show.

WrestleMania is a show which tends to attract fans from all over the world, and often celebrities who are fans end up backstage at the show. 

The Miz defended his Intercontinental title against Seth Rollins and Finn Balor at WrestleMania. He was unable to retain his Championship, as Seth Rollins picked up the win and became the new Intercontinental Champion.

The heart of the matter

Sal Vulcano and Brian Quinn were being asked their opinion of the Intercontinental Match and The Miz backstage in an interview. While Brian said that he felt that he would like to see the Miz win using cheating methods, Sal said he felt that Finn Balor was the likely candidate. 

The Miz was nearby and heard these comments, confronting them. He said that he could not believe what he had heard them say, as he had turned over a new leaf after becoming a dad and did not cheat anymore. 

The two then said that they wanted to be a part of the Miztourage. Miz asked Sal whether he would be a part of the Balor Club if Finn Balor was there, to which Sal replied that he would not while asking whether Finn was there or not.

Miz dismissed them, saying that they were done and did not need their help to cheat and win, before heading off to defend his title.

After he had left, Sal said he still felt that Finn would win, while Brian said he was sure the Miz would still cheat.

Author's take

There are rumours that Miz may be taking time off after his loss at WrestleMania as he recently became a father. He may take time off now to be with his family, and make a return later.
