- The Miz recently spoke to Forbes and recounted his first WWE Championship run and his feud with Jerry Lawler.
“There’s just something to a WWE champion not always being the strongest or toughest, and basically running away from a fight. And I always prided myself on being a champion where you never know, anybody can beat him at any given time,” said Miz.
“I remember my first WWE Championship. My first match, I think, was against Jerry Lawler on his 60th birthday. We had everyone in Philadelphia—which, Philadelphia are our uber fans, like the people that are just very intrigued and always know everything about WWE—and we had them literally thinking Jerry “The King” Lawler was going to go to WrestleMania as WWE champion. That’s how much they wanted it.”
