The Miz started his WWE career nearly 10 years ago. He was known for being a very important member of WWE Tough Enough at one time. The Miz is also a former WWE Champion and even though he is not the main event star right now, he is still one of WWE’s most famous wrestlers.
He is also a reality TV star. He recently appeared on The Rich Eisen Show. During his appearance, he spoke about WWE releasing some stars ever since the COVID-19 pandemic started. It started in 2020. He stated that it was extremely tough for him to see his colleagues go.
The Miz Talks About His Colleagues Being Released During COVID 19 Era
“It’s always tough when your friends and your colleagues get released,” The Miz said. “But you always wish for the best for them and you just, you do what you do.
You just keep going, you know? Like my buddy John Morrison, he got released. He was my tag team partner for a very long time and when he got released, I was like, ‘ah man’, you know? But I know John and I know the type of person he is and I know he’ll succeed in everything that he does, right? And so, you always wish the best for them.
And, for me in WWE, like, when you go to Monday Night Raw, ‘alright. What am I doing? How do I make this something that the live audience who paid money for their seats can get something out of this? Can really sink their teeth into, you know, and have a memory?’ Like whenever I see a dad with their son or a mom with their son or daughter, you know, you want to create a moment for them.
So when 10 years down the line, ‘hey remember the time we went to that WWE event and The Miz did this? Or this superstar did this?’ That’s what you’re always looking to create. So yeah, am I sad when people get released and my buddies go somewhere, somewhere else, or do something else? Of course.
But it’s my job as a WWE Superstar to keep elevating myself and keeping myself at a certain level to where I can do the best I possibly can for the fans out there”.
