The Miz is one of the most consistent wrestlers in WWE, he’s very rarely been hurt and if he has he wasn’t out near as long as expected. He is also a safe bet for celebrity matchups as we have seen Miz in this role time and time again. One such time Miz played this role was at Wrestlemania 37 when he wrestled Bad Bunny, teaming with John Morrison to take on the rapper and Damian Priest in a tag team match.
While speaking on Out of Character with Ryan Satin, The Miz revealed the advice Triple H gave him ahead of his match with Bunny:
“I was having trouble with the beginning of that Bad Bunny match, I was trying to figure it out, like, I’m a WWE superstar and this is a celebrity, he’s a music person and he’s coming into my world and he’s just going to be able to do things? And Triple H is the best at being like, ‘yeah, but what if you do this…’ and I’ll go, ‘oh.’ And sometimes, that’s all you need, just a little bit of advice, and then he sat down with me for 20 minutes and after that 20 minutes, I knew exactly what needed to be done. We went out there and just killed it.”
“As much as I hate to say it, Bad Bunny did absolutely phenomenal in that match. It takes four to make that match magic, and each person, even Damian Priest, like, that’s his first big match and it’s with a celebrity. You have to be there by their side, guiding them, force-feeding them, and Damien Priest came in there not only with ideas but sometimes, you have an idea of where you’re going to go, and when they go above and beyond that idea, it’s like, ugh. It makes your job so much easier.”
