On July 14, The Miz's Biography: WWE Legends episode aired on A&E. During the episode, John Cena called him the most underrated WWE star in the history of the business. These comments went viral on social media, as many fans voiced their own opinions and takes on Miz.
While speaking to Wrestlerant Radio for a new interview, Miz said that he was humbled by Cena's comments.
"I'm humbled. You know, when you hear, I always call him the GOAT. Like, I think he is the greatest of all time. From what he was able to do for so long, like... It's just, and how good he really is in a ring. Like, you know, I can sit across here and you can be a fan and you can watch John Cena and I can't explain to you how good he is in there. You can watch it and say, oh, he's really good. But what he is able to do and able to connect with an audience is unlike anyone I've ever seen. He knows what to do and when to do it when he's in the ring with you to get a crowd to where he wants them to be. It's a very difficult thing to do. It's a talent that John Cena has. And for him to say that I am the most underrated superstar in history, it means a lot because, you know, I've been in the ring with him. I've main evented WrestleMania with him. We've done a lot of, I mean, last year at WrestleMania, the day after, I'm sitting there doing a, you can't see, this is my biggest rival, right? John Cena. I'm doing the you can't see me with him and doing an AA with him in the ring. Like if you would have told me, you know, 15 years ago that I would be, you know, doing AAs and high-fiving John Cena and give him a hug. He'd be on my documentary saying that I'm underrated. I'd have been like, not gonna happen. It's just not gonna happen. But for him to even be a part of my documentary, it just says so much about him because this guy is a bonafide movie star. He's working, he's got Peacemaker, he's got all these accolades that he's been doing and he made time for me for my documentary. I think the world of him, and I love the fact that he's coming back for one more WrestleMania, but not only that, he's going to do a bunch of other dates, you know, and I'm glad that this generation is going to be able to learn from him as well. Like I always try to teach what he taught me and and Randy Orton has taught me. I try to, give that what I've learned from them to the up and coming generations, but to actually get in the ring with him is unlike anything. I'm excited for the new crop of talent that gets to do that."
