The WWE Universe has been confused and saddened in recent weeks with the actions of Brodus Clay , who had decimated rookie Xavier Woods and his former Tons of Funk partner , Tensai . Ditching The Funkadactyls , the monstrous Superstar is clearly on his own now . With everyone seeking answers from the big man , The Miz invited Clay to be his guest on “ Miz TV . ” There was no dancing from Brodus , who confidently strode to the ring clad in a black pinstripe suit and flashy gold chain . The self - proclaimed “ Main Event Playa ” sternly warned The Miz to watch his words Wednesday night . The Awesome One didn ’ t particularly heed the warning , going on to accuse Clay of being jealous of Xavier Woods . Clay went on to explain that his recent change of heart had nothing to do with Xavier Woods ’ recent debut . It had everything to do with WrestleMania 29 , where Tons of Funk ’ s match against Cody Rhodes , Damien Sandow & The Bella Twins was cancelled at the last minute . Brodus expressed anger that everyone else in the match has since gone on to achieve big things in WWE , while he ’ s been stuck with Tensai , who he called a “ washed - up has - been . ” Sweet T finally had enough of Brodus putting him down . The veteran big man charged to the ring to face his former friend . While the “ Main Event Playa ” originally got the upper hand , Tensai landed a few blows in on Brodus , prompting the monster to retreat from the ring . Though Brodus Clay wishes to put Tensai and Tons of Funk in his rearview mirror , Sweet T isn ’ t going to let him go without a fight .
