The Miz Talks Backstage Reaction To His Talking Smack Promo On Daniel Bryan

The Miz recently spoke with Complex about his Talking Smack promo on Daniel Bryan. Here are the highlights…

On Being a Father & Having a Daughter: “My wife and I make an awesome tag team,” said Miz. “I see this loving, maternal side of her when she’s taking care of Monroe Sky, and I’m in awe… [Fatherhood] affects every part of [my] life. I’m changing diapers. I’m feeding her. I’m putting her to sleep. I’m being a full-time dad.”

On His Favorite Wrestler Growing Up: “My favorite wrestler growing up was The Ultimate Warrior,” said Miz. “I used to run around with the tassels on my arms. And he held the Intercontinental title, and so did wrestlers like Shawn Michaels and Ravishing Rick Rude. I want the Intercontinental title to be seen as more than just a mid-card belt. The Intercontinental Champion used to be seen as a threat to the WWE Champion. My goal is to return the Intercontinental Championship to that level of importance.”

On Backstage Reaction To His Talking Smack Promo On Daniel Bryan: “People backstage were packing their bags and leaving, and suddenly, everyone just stopped. I only remember parts of that moment afterwards, because I was so angry. But I was just pacing. I didn’t know what to do with myself.”
