Miz on Defeating Cena at WrestleMania 27, Being a Father, and Daniel Bryan

Recent episode of the In This Corner podcast show had The Miz as one of the guests discussing his match against John Cena at WrestleMania 27, becoming a father, and thoughts on Daniel Bryan’s in-ring return.

On the topic of his WWE Championship match against John Cena at WrestleMania 27, Miz stated he considered it to be one of the biggest moments of his entire WWE career.

“I have pinned John Cena at WrestleMania, and it was one of the most amazing experiences of my WWE career. To go into WrestleMania as WWE Champion and to walk out of WrestleMania as WWE Champion as the bad guy that people boo, that doesn’t really happen ever and it did with me because I make people believe.”

On the topic of annoying people with photos of his newborn daughter, Miz stated he does tend to go overboard with how much he loves to show off photos of his baby to everyone he meets.

“I have annoyed my friends. Anyone on footage. I have annoyed interviews, and anyone and everyone. I am just so proud. It is one of those—it’s exactly what everyone has told me about having a child. It is indescribable. I can’t describe how proud I am of this little girl, and all she does is eat, sleep and go to the bathroom.”

On the topic of if fatherhood will cause him to change as a wrestler, Miz stated having a baby has soften him up a bit as a performer.

“One thing is for sure, it has opened up a new part of my heart that I didn’t know I had so, is there a softer side to The Miz? Maybe.”

On the topic of Daniel Bryan’s in-ring return, The Miz gave a kayfabe answer of being sarcastically happy Bryan is back and trashed the tactics he used to accomplish it.

“Am I happy? No. Good for him that he is back. Congratulations. Bravo. The thing is he was the one that said, ‘fight for your dreams?’ He didn’t fight for his dreams when he walked away like a coward on Talking Smack now did he? That’s real. Fight for your dreams. His playbook goes something like this: go out there, get sympathy, talk about your wife, cry a little and get your ass kicked.”
