Tonight at Elimination Chamber 2021 pay-per-view, The Miz shocked the world by winning the WWE Championship.
Drew McIntyre successfully defended his WWE Title inside limination Chamber against AJ Styles, Sheamus, Jeff Hardy, Kofi Kingston and Randy Orton. But after the match, Bobby Lashley surprisingly attacked McIntyre and took him out with Hurt Lock.
After that, Mr. Money in the Bank winner The Miz came out and cashed-in his MITB briefcase. He hit the Skull Crushing Finale to McIntyre and pinned him to become the New WWE Champion.
After the show, The Miz was interviewed a backstage by Sarah Scheriber and he said that he did what he told to everyone. He what The Miz said:
Understand that I told you so. Whenever someone says I wasn’t thinking on their level, I am a master strategist. I think further than anybody else in all of WWE! I didn’t just take respect, I demanded it through all the WWE Universe. And I could care less if everybody’s on the internet going, ‘No, Miz doesn’t deserve it, oh Miz shouldn’t be WWE Champion!’ Cry! Go ahead and cry, and keep on doing it because that is the fuel that lights my fire. I am your WWE Champion whether you like it or not; ten years ago we had an Angry Miz Girl and I hope, and I pray, that their are thousands upon thousands — millions — of Angry Miz Girls right here, right now, sobbing, weeping, wishing that Drew McIntyre was still their WWE Champion. He is not, I am. So this is me saying I am now content being awesome. See you at WrestleMania, or at Monday Night Raw. Whichever I feel like because I am champion and I do whatever the hell I want.”
