The Miz wants his fellow superstars to make the most of every minute.
The Miz has accomplished it all in WWE, winning the WWE Championship on multiple occasions and hold other titles such as the Intercontinental and US Championships. The Miz has also been trusted with long talk show segments and hosting WrestleMania.
Speaking on Busted Open Radio, Miz revealed the advice he gives to other superstars as a locker room veteran.
"Sometimes you're not going to have the main event storyline. It's your job as a WWE superstar, that if you get one minute on Raw or SmackDown, you better make it a meme-worthy, talked-about-worthy minute. I tell this to all the younger guys, 'my storyline isn't here, I don't have a storyline.' 'You have time on the show. If you have time on the show, you have the ability to connect with an audience.' It sucks because one minute sometimes isn't a enough time,but you have to figure it out, you have to, or you're not going to make it as a main event. Once you start doing those one minutes where you make it meme-worthy, then it becomes two minutes and three minutes, and you get that main event storyline. Then, when the main event storyline goes away, you're still able to keep yourself at that level. That's what I've been able to do. I didn't do that the first time I had the WWE Championship. When I had it, I had the main event caliber and was in every main event. Once I lost the title and the main event storyline, I couldn't figure out how to get myself back into it until five years later. That's when something clicked, and I was like, 'this is how I do it, this is how I build myself when I'm not in the main event stuff, this is how I insert myself into something that is relevant and means something,'" he said.
Miz is currently feuding with his former partner Tommaso Ciampa, who returned on the June 19 episode of WWE Raw. Miz, with the help of Bronson Reed, defeated Ciampa on Monday's WWE Raw.
