The Miz comments on Triple H's job as head of WWE's creative team and gives his thoughts on the upcoming WWE SummerSlam pay-per-view event in his hometown of Cleveland, Ohio.
Since Triple H took over the top spot on WWE's creative team, WWE's top premium live events have had fewer matches, with some being capped off at five matches per event. The Miz recently spoke with TVInsider and assessed the job Triple H is doing.
"Triple H is one of the best minds this business has ever seen," said The Miz. "The way he is able to not only do what he is doing right now, but he is there as a resource… If I need to know what we are looking for in a match, he would be able to tell me in-depth what he is looking for and how we can get the crowd to gravitate toward the storyline. The energy in the locker room is unbelievable because wrestling has never been so hot. If you look at it, think of all the top stars right now. I love what we’re doing with these PLEs (Premium Live Events) where we’re having five to six matches."
Miz also spoke about being concerned he won't have a spot on the SummerSlam card. This year's SummerSlam will take place in Cleveland, and Miz was hoping to wrestle in the Cleveland Browns Stadium, where he grew up watching football games. However, Miz says he will be understanding if he doesn't have a match.
"There are longer matches with storylines that have been built and are ready for a PLE. You look at SummerSlam now. It’s at the Cleveland Browns stadium. I don’t know what I’m doing, and it’s in my hometown. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. I don’t think we will ever go back to that stadium because they might get a new stadium. This stadium that I have grown up watching the Cleveland Browns games in, I don’t know if I have a match. You look at the storylines right now, and it’s insane how good they are… It’s very tough to get on a PLE now. You have to be on the top of your game. I understand more than anyone because I’ve been here for 20 years."
The Miz and R-Truth have stated in the past that they would like the chance to win the World Tag Team Championship back at SummerSlam. Learn more here.
