The eight-time Intercontinental Champion The Miz recently had an interview with Yahoo!Entertainment and spoke about numerous topics including John Cena’s influence on him. During the interview, the A-lister also discussed about his second WWE Title reign.
After a decade, The Miz won the WWE Title for the second time in his career at Elimination Chamber PPV by cashing-in his MITB briefcase on Drew McIntyre. But his reign was very short for eight days and lost title to Bobby Lashley.
The Miz said that he doesn’t need title to be relevant in WWE but he was very much pleased by his performance. He also stated that he made Bobby Lashley biggest monster in WWE in one night. Here what Miz said:
“Do I need a title to be relevant and a main event-caliber player in WWE? No, I don’t, but I can take a title and make someone else. I had the title for eight days, but if you really look at how much I did in those eight days, Bobby Lashley was made to be the biggest monster in WWE [during that time]. I’m proud to say that I was a part of that. Bobby Lashley deserves the WWE championship and my job was to make him the biggest, scariest monster out there. We did it in one night. There is no better thing than when you’re a bad guy and you get pinned, to hear the crowd erupt,” The Miz said.
