The Miz and YouTube sensation Keenan Cahill have been going back and forth on Twitter over the past week – with the feud culminating on Monday night in a lip sync battle.
Miz and Keenan see who can rock out the hardest to Miz’ theme song, “I Came To Play” by the band Downstait.
Below is The Miz’s lip sync battle with Keenan Cahill, with a special appearance by John Morrison.
Several WWE personalities appeared at the Teen Choice Awards last night from Los Angeles, California. WWE Champion John Cena and The Miz presented an award to the show Glee, along with fellow presenter Maggie Q.
WWE diva Maryse was shown in the crowd and appeared on the red carpet earlier in the night.
The Rock was also in the house as Fast Five won an award for best action movie. The Rock was also up for Best Action Star, but lost to Johnny Depp.
Check out these pictures and a video clip of John Cena and The Miz at the Teen Choice Awards:
– WWE has been making a number of changes internally with Triple H’s new talent recruiting division. Ty Bailey and Mark Carrano are now working directly with HHH and there is now a writer assigned specifically to work with HHH on development of new television characters and their introductions.

– Chris Masters’ first post-WWE booking will be for the World Stars of Wrestling’s tour of Portugal, which begins August 19th.

TMZ.com reports that the man accused of harassing WWE performer Maryse Ouellet has been legally banned from going anywhere close to her for the next three years.
L.A. County Superior Court granted a restraining order request filed by the WWE Diva against 61-year-old Lee Silber this morning. He is banned from going within 300 feet of Ouellet for the next three years.
Ouellet was accompanied to court by The Miz, her boyfriend. The website adds that “on their way out of the courthouse, both WWE stars were pretty tight-lipped, but seemed satisfied with the result.”
Ouellet claims Silber has been constantly harassing her-—leaving more than 50 “delusional voicemails” on her cell phone and sending her “increasingly scary letters.” He also promised to track her down in Los Angeles and “take (her) to heaven with him.”
TMZ’s attempts to reach Silber for comment were unsuccessful.

WWE Superstar The Miz appeared on TBS’s Lopez Tonight with George Lopez on Wednesday to promote WWE’s SummerSlam pay-per-view in Los Angeles.
The WWE superstar explains what happened when he tried to take his pants off at a PGA tournament, and when he caught his own father forging his autograph for fans. Plus, George gets “The Miz” to audition for “DWTS,” using an audience member as his dance partner.
Here’s the video:
— Photos have surfaced online of Mick Foley purportedly leaving last night’s SmackDown taping at the Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

— The Miz has landed a guest starring role on the USA Network detective comedy-drama series Psych. The former WWE Champion plays Mario, who is described as a “bros before hoes” type of gentleman.

— WWE’s Capitol Punishment pay-per-view event featuring R-Truth vs. John Cena drew approximately 200,000 buys, according to business figures released for the month of June 2011 on their corporate website.
The preliminary figure is up from 143,000 buys for the previous June’s pay-per-view event, Fatal 4-Way.
Capitol Punishment was also up from the previous month’s pay-per-view, Over the Limit, which drew approximately 150,000 buys. Cena was also featured in the main event, but against The Miz in an “I Quit” Match.
— Sin Cara, who is currently serving a 30-day suspension due to his first violation of WWE’s Talent Wellness Program, is advertised for an event WWE.com has just listed; a SmackDown taping in St. Louis, Missouri taking place September 27.
Regarding the masked grappler’s status with WWE, many employees are under the impression that management “had decided to cut bait on him.” Creative wasn’t informed until a day or two prior to Money in the Bank that he needed to be written off television and were also told to not “put any thought into any scenarios for him going forward.” A final decision regarding his immediate future has not been made.
– WWE’s “new CEO” Triple H turns 42 years old today.
– Reader Stan sent word that Monday’s RAW featured 40 minutes and 6 seconds of in-ring action, up a bit from the week before.
– The Miz will be on MTV tonight hosting “MTV’s The Challenge: Rivals.” After that, at midnight (EST), Miz will be appearing on George Lopez’ late night TBS show, Lopez Tonight.
– Following CM Punk’s return to WWE on Monday’s RAW his new theme song “Cult of Personality” skyrocketed on the iTunes sales charts, breaking the Top 200.
– Tyler Reks wrote the following on Twitter last night in response to fans that commented to him about an apparent babyface turn this week after he was seen celebrating with Rey Mysterio on RAW:
“Lotta talk about me celebrating Rey’s win with everyone last night. Bottom line is that Rey is my friend & I wanted to say congrats. No crime in that.”
Alberto Del Rio has once again been victimized by WWE’s haphazard booking as his long planned match with John Cena at SummerSlam was nixed hours before last night’s Raw telecast in Hampton, Virginia.
Creative overhauled the match line-up for SummerSlam Monday afternoon after deeming their creative plans for CM Punk for the event as “awful.” Del Rio was effectively removed from the title picture as a result. WWE’s braintrust felt that had Punk not been slotted in the title match, his much talked about storyline would extinguish.
Though Del Rio had the rug pulled out from under him once again, creative has the 34-year-old pegged for a title run this fall. WWE announced today they will present a landmark tour across Mexico this October and a number of high ranking officials feel the countryman returning as a conquering hero will garner a great deal of media attention.
Meanwhile, The Miz was at one point scheduled to reign supreme in the WWE Championship Tournament on Raw. Creative later changed their mind and the WWE Championship was awarded to Rey Mysterio, who got to hold the belt for approximately an hour and a half.

“It’s come to my attention someone has hacked my acct!!! Some people just have way too much time on their hands! Ill b deleting this acct,” he wrote.
“Sorry if this acct has fallin into the wrong hands! Thanks to all my wonderful fans!!!!! Keep an eye out for new acct coming soon!
“I personally have the utmost respect for mike and enjoyed workin w him! Im sure he will say the same! Sorry again for twitter hackers!
“Ill do my best to find out who is Responsible, im truely sorry to those who were offended! Thanks again! From the REAL Snitsky.”
He deleted the account shortly after his post. Coincidentally, the hacker’s diatribe and Snitsky’s apology both originated from an iPhone in Orwigsburg, Pennsylvania.
Former WWE talent Gene Snitsky posted multiple inflammatory remarks this afternoon on his Twitter account in response to widespread criticism over his unfavorable view of The Miz.
“Love the haters on twitter!!!! I beat the miz in 30 secs and he could nvr hold my jockstrap! Im a div 1 athelete, former NFL player! Fags,” he wrote.
“Do your research you fuckin no life pieces of shit! Lmao… Anyof you mommys boys ever accomplish nethin b sides sniffin ur moms panties.
“Get out of your mommys basement and stop jerkin off to gay porn u wanna beez!!!!! Rotflmao at these nerds!!!!
He also called a follower of his a “retard” in response to a remark that The Miz has a job. The former Heat Superstar then boasted that he’s featured in WWE’s upcoming video release, OMG! The Top 50 Incidents in WWE History, while The Miz isn’t.
“Oh and dont 4get im on the top 50 omg moments in WWE!!! Haha jackasses! Dont c miz on there!!!!! You DMF’s,” he wrote. “My time is money…. You idiots arent worth either! Lol peace out to all my beloved fans!!!! Have a wonderful day.”
Snitsky capped off his diatribe by saying The Miz couldn’t carry his jockstrap and that fans of the WWE Superstar are “Mizarks.”
Former WWE star Gene Snitsky, who took shots at The Miz throughout his reign as WWE Champion via Twitter, continues to belittle his former colleague.
During Chavo Guerrero’s Twitter diatribe of John Cena on Saturday, the third generation grappler took a potshot at The Miz. He wrote, “And frankly no one believes it anymore. If Miz can kick your ass then the clerk at the store can kick your ass, so please deliver if you say that..”
The former Heat headliner wholeheartedly agreed with Chavo’s critical assessment of The Miz.
“Well said chavo!” Snitsky typed. “Wtf is seriously scared of the fukn Miz? Ru kiddin me!!!!”
A follower of Snitsky’s said The Miz “is awesome,” to which he replied, “RU fukn kiddin me? Heez a putz and i mean that.”
He also ripped WWE Monday night for trying to insult the fans’ intelligence by implying that John Cena would be dismissed from the organization.
“Well here we go again with the wwe trying to insult our intelligence!” Snitsky wrote. “Does anyone really think John Cena is gettin fired? Wtf cmon rukidinme.”
Snitsky was backstage looking for work at last month’s SmackDown taping in Hershey, Pennsylvania. He revealed recently on Twitter that he was not offered a contract to return.
In the final round of the WWE Championship Tournament, Rey Mysterio and The Miz meet next week on Raw to determine the undisputed title holder.
Vince McMahon announced at the top of the show that eight of the top Superstars would compete in a WWE Championship Tournament and that a new titleholder would be determined that night. Before Mysterio and The Miz could compete in the final round of the WWE Championship Tournament, McMahon demanded that the ring be cleared due to important business he had to conduct. Triple H then informed McMahon that he had been relieved of his duties as WWE Chairman and that he would be taking his place.
