The Miz recently appeared on “Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen” on the USA Network, where he discussed several topics. Among them were getting his start on Reality TV, interactions with The Rock, his plans for Logan Paul at Summerslam 2022, and more.
Below are some highlights from the interview:
On getting his start on The Real World:
“I was sitting in my fraternity, and I was like, ‘Oh my god, I can be on my favorite show? I can audition for it?’ And back then we had VHS tapes, I had to record myself,” he said. “We didn’t have camera phones back then.”
On working with The Rock:
“There was a promo that I cut,” he said. “I was getting lost in the world of The Rock and John Cena because it was The Rock and John Cena and I was an up and comer but I was a champion. So, I cut this promo on The Rock and the day after I got a voicemail from The Rock being like, ‘That’s it, that’s how you step up!’ It was motivation.”
On his plans for Logan Paul at Summerslam:
“Logan Paul fans, are we?” The Miz joked. “You know, honestly, he is a natural talent. I said this when I was training him at WrestleMania, I’ve never seen someone pick up my sport faster, whether it’s a celebrity or WWE Superstar. He’s that talented. He’s focused. Laser-focused on everything he does. That’s why everything he touches is really a success.”
Still being The Miz, he added: “He’s going to be beat at SummerSlam by me with a skull-crushing finale, boom.”
