The Miz Becomes a WWE Cruiserweight for ABC’s Dancing With the Stars

The Miz has not only been a top heel but also one of the most decorated wrestlers WWE ever had.

But the WWE fans got to see him in a dancing show recently. The WWE superstar made his “Dancing with the Stars” debut when the 30th season of the show premiered on September 20.

In an interview with 3News with Stephanie Haney(h/t: Fightful), The Miz stated he has lost nine pounds while preparing himself for the dancing show. He said, “I started this thing at 211 pounds. Two weeks later, I’m at like 202. I’ve already lost nine pounds.”

This clearly showed the amount of hard work The Miz has put in for the show. Even though he is not a pro at dancing, The Miz seems to be ready for the challenge.

This will be an enormous challenge for the WWE superstar. During the interview with 3News with Stephanie Haney, he talked about how dancing is a totally different challenge to him when compared to wrestling. Miz pointed out the fact that in the ring he is not required to be tensed all the time while in dancing one has to be tensed in order to feel the other person.

In the middle of the interview, Miz opened up on what is the hardest thing about being on “ Dancing with the Stars “. He said, “The past 16 years, I have been the most egotistical, arrogant jerk on WWE. That is what my character is. He will cheat to win. So now I’m going to ask those people, ‘hey, vote for me!”.

“I think people get it and my [USA Network reality show] ‘Miz & Mrs,’ I’ve been able to show my family, my insights of what it’s like to be a WWE superstar, a husband, to be with my wife, to be with my children, so people have been able to see that side of me and now, I hope a broader audience of ‘Dancing with the Stars,’ maybe people who don’t watch wrestling, don’t watch WWE, maybe they’ll tune in now because they saw me on ‘Dancing with the Stars.’ I hope to just show a little bit of Mike From Parma, Ohio,” he added.

It will be very interesting to see how The Miz takes on this challenge.
