The Miz On Only Getting An 8 Day Reign With The WWE Title

The Miz shocked the world at the Elimination Chamber pay-per-view back in February when he cashed in his Money in the Bank contract on Drew McIntyre, and he managed to become the WWE Champion for the second time in his career.

Unfortunately for The Miz his second WWE Title reign didn’t last very long, as he held the belt for a total of eight days before dropping it to current WWE Champion Bobby Lashley.

During a recent interview with Yahoo! Entertainment The Miz talked about his eight day title reign, and he explained why he doesn’t feel like he needs a title to be relevant.

“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.”
