During a recent interview with The Athletic, The Miz commented on fighting to gain respect from the WWE locker room when he first joined the company and the reactions he now receives from the crowd.
You can check out some highlights from the interview below:
On his fight to gain respect in the WWE locker room: “A lot of people would tell me, ‘How come you didn’t just fight the dude who kicked you out?’ Locker rooms are about respect from your peers. If you don’t have that, fighting the locker room is not going to get it. It’s taking a slice of humble pie, figuring out what you did wrong, and making it right.”
On his reactions from the WWE crowd: “It’s taken a long, long time, but now when I hear the audience, there’s some cheers and boos, and the boos are because they’re going along with it and it’s more fun.”
The Miz will be hosting the WrestleMania 39 pay-per-view event this weekend.
