I may have gotten fired - Former WWE Champion discloses nixed plans in the infamous segment with the Miz

This was intended to force WWE to bring Danielson back into in-ring action due to fan outcry. However, Danielson later decided that simply walking away might be a better option. "He was so good. He was magic. Mike and I don't like each other, legitimately, but he's somebody I respect a lot for working hard. When he was going off, I was like, 'This is so good. It'd be so good if I punched him, but maybe it would resonate more and be better for him if I walked.' So, that's what happened. Everybody, including Maryse, was like, 'why is this going on? What is happening?' It would have been great television. It might have gotten canceled. I may have gotten fired."
