The Miz has been with WWE for some time now, and throughout his career he’s been able to move up and down the card.
At one point The Miz cashed in Money in the Bank on Randy Orton to become WWE Champion, and he carried the belt into the WrestleMania 27 main event where he successfully defended it against John Cena.
The Miz getting the WrestleMania main event was surprising to many, and during a recent episode of his podcast Arn Anderson explained Vince McMahon’s decision to put Miz in the match.
“I know Vince likes Miz; he’s dependable, durable, speaks well, dresses well and fits with that Hollywood deal. It was a guy that kind of came in under the radar but he was built properly. And putting him in a main event with John Cena is about as big as it gets.”
In addition to the WWE Championship, The Miz has also been able to capture quite a few other titles, and Arn explained why he’s been able to find success in WWE.
“Everybody can’t be a steamroller, everybody can’t be a body guy, everybody can’t be a world class technician. But if you’ve got some of that stuff, you can be around for a long time. Everybody can’t be the last match every single night. You gotta have guys that are on second to last, third to last, sometimes open the show, sometimes the first match before intermission, The Miz is one of those guys that can move up and down and as long as you put a mic on his hand he’ll piss some people off.”
