Ohio native The Miz doesn’t know whether he will have a match at WWE SummerSlam when it comes to his hometown in August.
The Miz and R-Truth recently lost the WWE World Tag Team Championship to The Judgment Day. The Miz’s road to WWE SummerSlam is unclear, especially after he, Truth, and Braun Strowman lost to The Judgment Day on the July 8 episode of WWE RAW.
Speaking with Scott Fishman for TV Insider, The Miz was asked to comment on what the vibe was like for him with Triple H leading WWE creative. He highlighted how Triple H has one of the best minds in the business.
“Triple H is one of the best minds this business has ever seen. The way he is able to not only do what he is doing right now, but he is there as a resource… If I need to know what we are looking for in a match, he would be able to tell me in-depth what he is looking for and how we can get the crowd to gravitate toward the storyline.
“The energy in the locker room is unbelievable because wrestling has never been so hot. If you look at it, think of all the top stars right now. I love what we’re doing with these PLEs (Premium Live Events) where we’re having five to six matches.”
The Miz On WWE SummerSlam
The Miz went on to note how WWE premium live events now feature matches with storylines that have been built in. He brought up WWE SummerSlam, which will be in his hometown. The Miz said that he was not sure whether he would have a match. He stated that it was tough to get on the cards for premium live events.
“There are longer matches with storylines that have been built and are ready for a PLE,” The Miz said. “You look at SummerSlam now. It’s at the Cleveland Browns stadium. I don’t know what I’m doing, and it’s in my hometown. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. I don’t think we will ever go back to that stadium because they might get a new stadium.
“This stadium that I have grown up watching the Cleveland Browns games in, I don’t know if I have a match. You look at the storylines right now, and it’s insane how good they are… It’s very tough to get on a PLE now. You have to be on the top of your game. I understand more than anyone because I’ve been here for 20 years.”
For now, fans will have to wait and see how The Miz’s road to WWE SummerSlam will unfold.
