The Miz On WWE SummerSlam
In a recent interview, The Miz noted that he did not know whether he would have a match at the premium live event. Speaking with Scott Fishman for TV Insider, he stated that it was tough to get on the card these days.
“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.”
