The Miz expressed his gratitude to the Undertaker for letting him back inside the WWE locker room after Chris Benoit had banned him.
During a recent conversation with Chris Van Vliet, The Miz opened up about the time Chris Benoit kicked him out of the locker room for eating chicken over someone’s bag. After spending six months out, The Undertaker was the one who let him back inside.
The Miz discussed the incident with The Undertaker himself during his recent appearance on the Six Feet Under podcast. The former WWE Champion noted that he didn’t know how to get back into the locker room after the tragic Chris Benoit incident, since Benoit was the one who banned him. He was thankful that The Undertaker finally let him back in.
“I would find places to go, and then the person (Chris Benoit) told me, ‘You can come in when I tell you can come in.’ Something happened to that person, and that person went away, so I had no way of getting back in.
“So I was like, ‘Oh, man.’ So I went to the person I ate the chicken over (his bag), and I was like, ‘How do I get back in the locker room?’ He was like, ‘You’re still out of the locker room? I had no idea, man. You should talk to Taker,’ The Miz said.
The conversation went like this:
The Miz: “I go (to the Undertaker), ‘I’ve been kicked out of the locker room.'”
The Undertaker: “Oh, you have? What did you get kicked out for?”
The Miz: “I ate a piece of chicken over a person’s (bag).”
The Undertaker: “Oh, you did? I’ll get back to you on that.”
The Miz was relieved after The Undertaker allowed him back into the locker room
The Miz then continued, “And then I was like, ‘Ah, man.’ So I waited till the end, and then I think you probably forgot. But I walked up and said, ‘Do you think I can come in the locker room?’ and you were like, ‘You’re back in, kid.’
“I was like, (sighs in relief). I remember driving with Punk, and it was like Ryder, Brian Myers, and Hornswoggle…. I remember being in there and being, Guys, I’m back in, man,’ The Miz said.
The Undertaker then chimed in, saying that while people thought he was aware of everything that happened in the locker room, that wasn’t the case on most occasions.
“So I probably knew that at one point, you had been kicked out. But I wasn’t doing live events at the time; I was only doing TV. People are always under this impression, ‘Oh, he was locker room leader. He knew everything,’ it’s like I’m Don Corleone. There’s a lot of times things happen, and then they get filtered to me later, and a lot of times people would go, ‘Oh, Taker’s gonna be pissed,’ and I have no clue about whatever,” the Undertaker told The Miz.
