After pretending to get a phone call from Soriano's agent claiming he couldn't wrestle him, Santino Marella makes his way down to the ring. Marella calls The Miz a jackass and Miz attacks him. Well there is no referee but looks like we have a little match in store for us. After beating Marella down Miz claims that he is now 4 in 0 against John Cena, who has never come down to the ring!
