Comcast interviewed The Miz to hype Sunday’s WWE Royal Rumble event. Here are some highlights:
On his theme song: “I will say I have one of the best entrance themes in all of WWE. I won’t say the best of all time because my favorite is The Brood. They didn’t even have words, and they didn’t need words. They had the best entrance as well coming up through the fire was just awesome.”
On winning the Royal Rumble: “When I win the Royal Rumble I will have the choice between the WWE Championship and the World Heavyweight Championship. So, you look at it and you go, CM Punk vs. the Rock. CM Punk has held the title for 400-something days. He’s a proven champion and he’ll do whatever it takes to win that title at all costs. Then you have the Rock coming back, hasn’t been in the ring in almost a year now. CM Punk has been defending the championship for the past year. He’s crisp, he’s in his prime. The Rock might have a little ring rust. But, I want the Rock to win. The Rock is the reason I wanted to become a WWE Superstar. I would like to face the Rock in the main event of Wrestlemania, beat him, then solidify myself as the most must-see WWE Superstar of all time.”
On having a woo-off with Ric Flair: “(Laughs) You know, you really can’t beat having a ‘Woo’ off with the legend Ric Flair. Not only that, but to have Ric Flair allow me to apply the figure four, it’s almost like… I hate to say a passing of a torch, but I felt so honored. To sit there and talk to Ric Flair on Miz TV and not only strut like Ric and ‘Woo’ like Ric, but to have the honor of putting on the figure four and now using the figure four is just an incredible feat.”
