The Miz is a former two times WWE World Champion and he constantly remained one of the biggest attractions of WWE for a long time. He is working in the promotion for nearly two decades and he had to go through a lot of ups and downs throughout his WWE career to reach where he is today.
Was introduced to the WWE Universe through the Tough Enough competition in 2004. He was the runner up of the competition and later he earned a professional contract from WWE. At first, he appeared on a non wrestling roles mostly, but slowly he transitioned to be a wrestler and in 2010 he shocked the entire world when he won the WWE Championship.
Cracking the Code: The Miz Shares His Key Tactics to Stay in WWE’s Main Event
He had to go through a lot of ups and downs in WWE, sometimes he was a main event star, sometimes he is a lower mid card. But he constantly remained the center of attraction. Recently he appeared on the Busted Open Radio podcast where he explained how he managed to be on the main events of WWE for a long time. Here is what he had to say;
“Sometimes you’re not going to have the main event storyline, and it’s your job as a WWE Superstar that if you get one minute on Monday Night RAW, Friday Night SmackDown, you better make it a meme-worthy talked about worthy minute,” The Miz said. “And I tell this to all the younger guys who are like, ‘Yeah, but my storyline isn’t here. I don’t have a storyline.’ Yeah, but do you have time on the show?

“If you have time on the show, you have the ability to connect with an audience, and it sucks because one minute sometimes isn’t enough time, but you have to figure it out. You have to, or you’re not going to make it as a main event. And by the way, once you start doing those one minutes, where you start making meme-worthy, talk about worthy, then it comes two minutes, then it becomes three minutes, then you get that main event storyline.
“And guess what? Then when that main event storyline goes away, you’re still able to keep yourself at that level. And that’s what I’ve been able to do. I didn’t do that the first time I had the WWE Championship 12 years ago; when I had the WWE Championship, I had the main event caliber. I was in every main event.
“But once I lost that title, I lost that main event storyline; I couldn’t figure out how to get myself back into it. Until I would say maybe five years later, and that’s when something clicked in me, and I was like, this is how I do it. This is how I build myself whenever I’m not in the main event caliber stuff. This is how I insert myself into something that is relevant that means something.”
He won his latest WWE Championship in 2021 and after dropping the title he could never win any World title in WWE. At this moment he is involved in a feud with Tommaso Ciampa at last week on Monday night RAW he received victory over the former two times NXT Champion. He is still going pretty strong and we hope his popularity increases even more in the future.
