“I Did Everything I Could”- The Miz on Losing His Main Event Spot

Former WWE Champion and current Superstar, The Miz, in an interview given to The Bump, talked about his WrestleMania 27 main event against John Cena. Further, he spoke about dropping the title, which caused him to go out of the WWE main event scene. He said,

“I look at it and I go, I did everything I could in that moment to elevate myself, elevate the title I mean I did it all, it was incredible. I’m working the face of the company, John Cena, I’m working with The Rock, who in the Attitude Era I thought the world of. I still do think the world of him, and I think he is just a special talent.”

The Miz talked about how he was the ‘new’ guy in the main event scene. He felt the need to create an impact, and credits both Cena and Rock for helping him improve. The Miz, however, did not blame either of them for taking his place. This is quite interesting, considering John Cena’s infamy in burying new talent, like the Nexus, to further his career.

Miz reflected on how quickly things changed. He lost the title and went to the mid-card. He reflected on the importance of working hard to keep the spot. Unfortunately, despite all his efforts, it seemed that Vince was not interested in pushing him for more time.

The future looks promising for The Miz

In his current role, the Miz reunited with John Morrison for the Smackdown brand, where he has been prominently featured. The tag team was recently challenged for the Tag Team Championship on Money In the Bank, where they lost. It will be interesting to see where the tag team will go.

Except for the wrestling aspect, the 39-year-old veteran has, just like Cena and The Rock, pursued a career in Hollywood. He has tasted success in films, with movie titles like ‘The Marine’ under his belt. However, unlike Cena and the Rock, Miz also has his television series called ‘Miz and Mrs.’, which features him and his wife, Maryse. The show is a Total Bellas spinoff produced by WWE.
