The Miz is certainly no stranger to championship gold as he’s held a wide variety of titles throughout his WWE run including the Intercontinental Championship which he’s won 8 times. Recently The Miz answered a fan question about his favorite childhood wrestlers on TikTok, and he revealed an interesting idea he had for an Intercontinental Championship match that would have seen him defend the title against several legends.
“This is actually an idea that I had that I really, really wanted to do but I just couldn’t make it happen. So, when I was Intercontinental Champion and I wanted to make the title relevant and prestigious, I wanted to defeat every former Intercontinental Champion because I wanted to be known as the best Intercontinental Champion and I thought there would be some pretty great matches.
“I wanted to have a Gauntlet Lumberjack Match. The reason I wanted it to be a Gauntlet Lumberjack Match is because the entrances would’ve been too long and it would take up too much time to do a traditional gauntlet. So everyone in the gauntlet would be by ringside as lumberjack and it would be four different former Intercontinental Champions with one in the ring.”
The former champion then went on to say that his idea was to drop the Intercontinental Championship to the Ultimate Warrior after defeating the other legends.
“I would have to go through a gauntlet match defeating all of them. I would do that successfully at WrestleMania. In the end when I defeated the last person in that Gauntlet Lumberjack Match, what would happen? Ultimate Warrior’s music would hit, and he would be the last person in the gauntlet match.”
“He would run down, he would hit me with three clotheslines, do a splash and hit 1,2,3, and beat me for the Intercontinental Championship and I thought that would have been really, really cool. But never got to happen.”
