WWE Hall of Famer Ron Simmons was the court deputy, and the judge was JBL. The Miz started making his case by claiming Otis had victimized him emotionally and physically.
He also said Otis had not held up his Money In the Bank responsibility. Otis was then asked for his statement. He just said he should have the briefcase because he won the Money In the Bank match.
As we reached towards the end, JBL issued his verdict. The former WWE Champion claimed he cannot hold Otis responsible for what Miz accused him as it’s his job description as a WWE Superstar.
