"The guy was going after a dream, he's always wanted to do that. Whenever you go after a dream, why smash on it? He's going to do his best, he's going to try his hardest. I imagine he's training his heart out to do the best he can in the Octagon. I hope he does well," said The Miz. 

According to The Miz, CM Punk has not been the kind of person to pay attention to negative feedback online and WWE wrestlers have a particularly "thick skin." The interview can be seen in the video below.
