In a hilarious, entertaining, and well-produced segment on WWE Raw, Johnny Gargano sat down with Byron Saxton and blew the whistle on The Miz. Claiming The A-Lister paid Dexter Lumis to stalk him, he also believes The Miz has stopped paying Lumis and now has a real problem on his hands.

Following a loss to Mustafa Ali -- where Lumis tried to get at The Miz and caused a distraction -- Gargano sat down for a 60 Minutes-style interview and revealed that he knew The Miz was lying to everyone. Gargano started at the beginning when he said Lumis became part of his NXT family when Lumis married Indie Hartwell. But, when Lumis was released by WWE as part of company budget cuts, he fell on hard times as a struggling artist. The Miz was recorded making an arrangement with Lumis to pay him to stage attacks and act as a stalker to up his celebrity status. Gargano played the recording and re-enacted the scenario where The Miz set the whole thing up and played along as Lumis showed up over and over and kidnapped him.

WWE aired footage of moments that Lumis got to The Miz but provided "evidence" that it was all staged. But, Gargano claimed he thinks when The Miz stopped paying Lumis, the creepy WWE star took aim at The A-Listed for real.

This Was So Well Done

The entire segment -- made great by Gargano's performance-- was nearly perfect. It put a bow on a long-term storyline, while also explaining why things have dragged out. It then flipped the switch and painted the picture that The Miz now has a real problem, while busking babyface sympathy for Lumis.

It will be fascinating to see where WWE takes this now and how Gargano stays involved. Clearly, The Miz will claim it's all untrue. Does Gargano have more?
