The Miz has been seen hanging out with Truth and coming to his aid whenever he is being humiliated by Judgment Day. With their reunion, it seems like WWE has something special planned for the reunited tag team.

WWE is making its return to Australia for the first time since 2018 to host Elimination Chamber: Perth. Judgment Day’s and Damian Priest will defend their Tag Titles against and . Meanwhile, will defend her Women’s World Championship against . JD McDonagh is not scheduled for any match, while Dominik Mysterio could have had a match if R-Truth hadn’t interfered.

Truth, pulling off another comedic act by referring to Owens as Miz, came to ringside to assist him. “Dirty” Dom asked the former 24/7 Champion to bring a chair to help him secure the victory.
