The Miz Calls RAW Women’s Arrest Angle ‘Incredible’

In an interview with NBC’s Pro Wrestling 24/7 (h/t WrestlingInc), The Miz talked about this past Monday’s RAW arrest angle featuring Becky Lynch, Ronda Rousey, and Charlotte Flair, as well as the trust WWE has in him.

On Monday’s RAW arrest angle: “Oh my god, my wife called me like, ‘did you just see what Becky Lynch, Ronda Rousey & Charlotte Flair just did?’ and I’m like, ‘What? No I was on a flight,’ … ‘Oh go watch it, go watch it.’ It was incredible and that’s the type of thing I feel like they need and they deserve and those types of things never in my wildest dreams did I think a women’s segment would have that, but she was so proud and that’s exactly what these women should feel is proud, each and every woman that has ever stepped foot in the ring from generations all the way back to Fabulous Moolah to my wife’s generation, you know Maryse, to these girls now, have all fought their way to not only having all-women’s pay per view called Evolution, which absolutely dominated Nassau Colosseum and was probably the best pay-per-view I have seen this entire year, not only that, but now going into WrestleMania, Ronda Rousey, Charlotte Flair & Becky Lynch in the main event. They are creating history.”

On the trust WWE has in him: “Well you know the way I look at it as the type of talent, and I’ve always said this line, and I said it a couple weeks ago: hard work beats talent when talent doesn’t work hard enough and I can tell you for whatever I lack with talent I make up for with hard work,” Miz said. “I have dedicated myself, I have show all the talents that I have and I have the ability to make sure that people feel something and remember something & every time I go out there I make sure I’m an elite-level talent, a talent that people go I need to see what he’s going to say or what he’s going to do because I remember back in the day when The Rock was my favorite back in the Attitude Era with the Austins & the Triple H’s, you know back then. Those were the guys that you always wanted to know what they were going to say, what they were going to do next and that’s the type of caliber of talent that I am now & I think WWE trusts in that because I have shown them that over the years, over and over again whether I was up or down in WWE, I always go out there & make sure the audience gets exactly what they deserve.”
