The Miz Wants To Be The Number One Draft Pick
Draft day. Everyone wants to be the top pick, and that includes WWE Intercontinental Champion The Miz.
During a new interview with Fox Sports, former WWE Champion The Miz stated his case to be the top draft pick at tonight’s WWE draft, and why he’s better than current WWE Champion Dean Ambrose.
“Dean Ambrose has done one WWE Studios film, I’ve done five,” Miz explained. “Dean Ambrose has never main-evented WrestleMania. I’ve main-evented WrestleMania. Former WWE champion… I’m a 14-time champion! How many championships do you need to be the No. 1 draft pick? I’ve done more, I’ve been more, I’m more experienced, I’m more seasoned than Dean Ambrose. Dean Ambrose is a fantastic superstar… however, has he been in WWE as long as The Miz? Can he do the things that I can do? No, he can’t.”
When asked if he had a preference as it pertains to working for Stephanie McMahon or Shane McMahon, Miz noted that he’d had issues with each of the siblings.
“You know, I’ve had trouble with both,” Miz said. “I don’t know why everyone has to disagree with me, I think it’s because I get my lawyers, my agents, my managers, my Miz branding team involved with everything, and that kind of annoys a general manager and a commissioner. But I’m like Von Miller, man. I’m waiting for that guaranteed contract, and I’m going to sit out until they give me what I want. I feel like I am that type of athlete, that type of superstar.”
