Are you also a fan of WWE? If yes, then you are aware of the popular star ‘The Miz’. Am I right? In this post, we will discuss the recent updates on this popular WWE wrestler. 

Michael Gregory Mizanin is an American professional wrestler, actor, and television personality who was born on October 8, 1980.

He currently works for WWE, where he competes on the Raw brand under the moniker The Miz.

Mizanin initially rose to prominence as a contestant on reality TV, having participated in The Real World: Back to New York in 2001 and its 2002–2005 spin-off, Real World/Road Rules Challenge. Moreover, he prevailed in the Battle of the Seasons.

In 2006, he competed in the Battle of the Network Reality Stars final and won an episode of Fear Factor with a Reality Stars theme. 

Mizanin began his professional wrestling career after placing second in the fourth season of Tough Enough.

He has since hosted multiple seasons of The Challenge and made appearances on Diva Search, Total Divas, and Tough Enough.

Alongside his spouse, Maryse Ouellet, he also stars in the reality television series Miz & Mrs. He has also acted in movies made by WWE Studios, including The Marine franchise, Christmas Bounty (2013), and Santa’s Little Helper (2015).

A Crucial Title Defense: WWE Survivor Series 2023

As Survivor Series 2023 approaches, Gunther, the leader of the Imperium and the Intercontinental Champion with the longest reign in history, was preparing for an important title defense against The Miz. 

The Ring General and the A-Lister have squared off in this match. It was predicted that The Miz would become the first person to become an Intercontinental Champion nine times, matching Chris Jericho’s record.

Gunther’s legendary tenure as the Intercontinental Champion has cemented his place in the WWE, but fans are excited if The Miz can set yet another record at the Survivor Series.

The A-Lister may find it difficult to defeat him, which has led to rumors about a potential intervention that could benefit Miz.

The Miz calls Gunther on the show

Gunther was invited to appear as a guest on Miz TV on a recent Raw episode, but at first, he declined to enter the ring and sent Ludwig Kaiser and Giovanni Vinci, two other Imperium members, to speak on his behalf.

The Ring General arrived and declared that he thought The A-Lister and Miz TV were beneath him, while Miz verbally attacked Kaiser and Vinci.

Miz was adamant that he wanted to prove to Gunther that he was the best IC champion, but Raw general manager Adam Pearce insisted that Miz would have to earn the chance.

Gunther kept the Intercontinental Championship after defeating The Miz at WWE Survivor Series: WarGames.

At the most recent high-end live event, The Ring General and The Miz got into a fight. The A-Lister demonstrated why he is an eight-time WWE Intercontinental Champion, winning the match with the support of the crowd. Miz used some really cool moves on Gunther during the fight. 

The champion was controversially struck with a low blow by The Miz, while the referee was preoccupied with an attempt to win the title. It was insufficient, though, to overcome the Imperium leader.

The A-Lister competed well in the match, but in the end, the seasoned champion outperformed him, locking in the Boston crab to prolong his historic reign.

After surpassing The Honky Tonk Man’s record, The Miz acknowledged that Gunther was the longest-reigning IC champion of all time, but he claimed to be the greatest Intercontinental champion in WWE history.
