The Miz Talks Fans Cheering Him When He Defeated Roman Reigns At Raw 25

During the WWE 24 special on Raw 25, the Miz spoke about his win over Roman Reigns and more. Here are the highlights courtesy of WrestleInc…

On Beating Roman Reigns At Raw 25: “I remember pinning him 1-2-3,” The Miz recalled. “And just everything becomes warm, and you get this sensation that you kind of feel your eyes water, and you’re saying, ‘oh my God, don’t cry, don’t cry.’ To hold the Intercontinental title for the eighth time, there’s no feeling like that.”

On Fans Cheering His Win: “Normally when I win a title, it’s a ‘boo’. This time was kind of a cheer. I don’t know. Maybe for the first time I got respect. Maybe.” The Mix explained, “I got to have my celebration at the Manhattan Center. The fans actually reacted to me as if I was a good guy and it was awesome. I thought maybe I had the respect at Barclays [Center], but at Manhattan Center, these are the hardcore fans. For those hardcore fans to chant ‘thank you, Miz’, I’ve won the respect of the WWE Universe.” The Miz mentioned, “I got more texts today than when I won the WWE Championship.”
