The Miz wasn’t really eaten by zombies but it might be excuse to keep him off to WWE TV. Dave Meltzer of Wrestling Observer Radio reported that The Miz got injured during the match. He tore his ACL and he would probably out of action for several months.
“Okay, so he tore his ACL, but we don’t know the severity of the tear. The last I heard is it might be a partial tear so that might not be that serious. If it’s a full tear, you know, that’s surgery and probably, you know 7, 8. 9 months [off]. At 40 [years old], that’s not the best thing in the world. He’ll come back from it, I’m sure he will, but that’s a lot of time off. Hopefully for the best that it’s partial and he can make a quicker recovery. That injury is legit.” (H/T: Ringside News)
On this week’s Monday Night Raw, The Miz didn’t appeared and John Morrison also mentioned that he hope The Miz would get better soon. The Miz has been feuding with Damian Priest before WrestleMania 37 and had multiple matches between them. Now, Priest stated that he was done with Miz on this week’s Raw.
