The Miz did the impossible this year at SummerSlam when he got the WWE Universe to cheer his opponent Logan Paul.
The Miz recently sat down with Joseph Staszewski of the New York Post to discuss a wide variety of subjects. When asked about his match against Logan Paul at SummerSlam, The Miz said he was proud that he was able to get Paul cheered by the WWE Universe by the time the match was over.
“When you’re booed and it’s two people in a ring that people don’t like, it’s a very difficult match to do,” Miz said. “To be able to have one of those people at the end of the match, people chanting one of their names, that’s a huge, huge testament to both parties in working and figuring out what the audience truly wants and giving it to them.”
The fact that The Miz was able to make the WWE Universe cheer for Logan Paul over him by the end of the match at SummerSlam is something that the former WWE Champion believes is quite an accomplishment.
“Even going against Logan Paul, where I was like, ‘there’s no way they’re gonna cheer him. There’s no way,’” Miz said. “It’s WWE, it’s our loyal audience. If we were in an arena full of Logan Paul fans and I came in, I guarantee they’d boo the hell out of me. But for Logan to be turned into a good guy and cheered at the end of that match, I was like damn. I don’t think there is anything I can do for them to love me and cheer me. Like there’s nothing. I put a show on, a comedy that shows my family, that I’m a dad. You look at it and you go this is a nice guy and no matter what I do, who I go up against. I’m gonna be booed.”
