The Miz discusses real-life frustration with WWE creative

WWE superstar The Miz has shared details regarding his real-life frustration during his tenure on SmackDown. In a recent interview with WrestleRant, he explained that despite being the Intercontinental Champion at the time, he was instructed to wrestle a dark match rather than being featured on the televised broadcast.

This perceived lack of utilization led to his famous ‘Talking Smack’ promo. The Miz requested to appear on the segment to express his frustrations toward then-SmackDown General Manager Daniel Bryan. The unscripted nature of the interaction became a significant moment that helped revitalize his career.
