On the January 18, 2010 episode ofRaw, afterBig Show helpedUnited States ChampionThe Miz by attacking Miz's rival,Montel Vontavious Porter (MVP), guest hostJon Heder arranged for Big Show and Miz to form atag team to take onShawn Michaels andTriple H ofD-Generation X (DX).[4]
On the February 8 episode ofRaw, Big Show and The Miz, bothvillains, competed in atriple threat elimination match for the Unified WWE Tag Team Championship againstThe Straight Edge Society (CM Punk andLuke Gallows) and the defending champions DX, which Miz and Big Show won to capture the titles.[10] AtElimination Chamber on February 21, Big Show interfered in Miz's United States Championship match against MVP, helping Miz retain the title.[11] The next night onRaw, ShoMiz successfully retained their championships against MVP andMark Henry.[12] ShoMiz also retained the Unified WWE Tag Team Championship in a rematch against DX on the March 1 episode ofRaw after Michaels was distracted byThe Undertaker, and Triple H was then attacked bySheamus.[13]
On the March 5 episode ofSmackDown,John Morrison andR-Truth defeatedCryme Tyme (Shad Gaspard andJTG) andThe Hart Dynasty (David Hart Smith andTyson Kidd) to earn a shot at ShoMiz's Unified WWE Tag Team Championship atWrestleMania XXVI.[14] On the next episode ofRaw, The Miz mocked the new challengers, claiming that no one in the locker room was worthy enough to face ShoMiz, but Morrison and Truth laid out ShoMiz during a "WrestleMania preview" which went to ano contest.[15] In the following weeks, both Morrison and Truth would pin The Miz duringsingles matches,[16][17] and ShoMiz was once again laid out by Morrison and Truth on the March 26 episode ofSmackDown.[18] However, ShoMiz would successfully defend the Unified WWE Tag Team Championship against Morrison and Truth at WrestleMania on March 28.[19]
ShoMiz then started afeud with The Hart Dynasty on the March 29 episode ofRaw, when ShoMiz interruptedBret Hart's speech, prompting The Hart Dynasty to come out to back up Bret, who challenged ShoMiz on The Hart Dynasty's behalf, which Miz accepted despite Big Show's protests to walk away, but that match ended in a no contest.[20] AtExtreme Rules on April 25, after ShoMiz came out and bragged about themselves, challenging anyone to face them,SmackDownGeneral ManagerTheodore Long ruled that ShoMiz had to face three tag teams in succession in agauntlet match, and that the team who defeated ShoMiz would get a title match the next night onRaw.[21] ShoMiz managed to beat the first two teams in the gauntlet match (John Morrison and R-Truth by disqualification, and then Mark Henry and MVP), but The Hart Dynasty managed to beat ShoMiz to earn their title shot.[22]
On the following episode ofRaw, ShoMiz lost the Unified WWE Tag Team Championship to The Hart Dynasty after The Mizsubmitted to thesharpshooter, after which Big Show knocked out Miz with aright-handed knockout hook,turning into afan favorite and symbolizing their break-up. Big Show was released from his WWE contract in 2021, thus likely ending any possible reunion.[1]
His message is short, but definitely not sweet as he says "Brother to brother, you need a better tag team partner than me." Cody walks off as the crowd chants "No!" to the request.
