The Miz has been in the professional wrestling business for a long time, and he’s mentioned before how he hasn’t suffered an injury throughout his whole career. However, that all changed when he faced Damian Priest in a Zombie Lumberjack match at WrestleMania Backlash.
It was reported that The Miz suffered an ACL injury, and that he could be out up to nine months. During an interview with Sports Illustrated the former WWE Champion addressed the reports and noted that he feels like a million bucks.
“I love reading reports about my injury. It’s amazing. It’s all usually wrong. I was reading stuff about me like, ‘What? Where are they finding this information?’ I hadn’t even released anything that I was even injured. As far as I’m concerned, everyone keeps asking me how I’m feeling, and I feel like a million bucks—and I’m going to be on WWE TV every week like I always am.”
The Miz went on to say that he doesn’t plan on being out of action for nine months, but he’s not exactly sure when he will be able to return to in-ring competition.
“I’ll be out for a little bit of time. I’ve seen that I’ll be out nine months. I don’t plan on being out nine months. I was on TV last Monday, and I’m going to be on TV every week. We always tell children not to try what we do at home because it’s a very dangerous sport, and I’m a person that had never been injured in a WWE ring for my entire career. I had a match, and did I get injured? Yes, the answer is yes, I did get injured. How long will I be out? To be completely honest, I don’t even know that. I’m just working on physical therapy, getting everything back to 100% so I can give the audience exactly what they want.”
