It might have seemed unlikely when he made his debut 11 years prior, but by 2016 The Miz had become one of the most underappreciated members of the WWE roster. After over a decade being one of the most dependable members of the company, Maryse's husband was tired of being taken for granted and mocked for his in-ring style, and he took his frustrations out on long-time rival Daniel Bryan on the 23 August 2016 edition of Talking Smack.

Daniel insisting on calling his former NXT Pro a coward for his in-ring style clearly struck a nerve with The A-Lister, who flipped a switch from storyline interview to a pipe bomb instantly. First, reminding fans that he had never been injured in his career, which allowed him to always be there for both the company and the WWE fans, Miz then asked Daniel why he was not in the ring, the place he loved the most.

After D-Bry said what we all knew - that WWE was not going to clear him to wrestle - Miz retorted that he should quit and go back to his Indy buddies. This caused Bryan to walk off, with the Intercontinental Champion continuing to berate both Daniel and the fans, for not recognizing all that he had done in his career. Miz then turned to the camera, and promised that he would get all the respect that he deserves, and that he does not care about the WWE, Tag Team, or even the Women's Championships or the fans.
