Go back over the careers of both men and it becomes clear that Dolph Ziggler and The Miz have faced off countless times on WWE live events, television and pay-per-view. For the latest chapter in their rivalry, Ziggler and Miz wanted to try something a little different. Dolph revealed this during a chat with Sports Illustrated.

Also in the interview, the reigning WWE Intercontinental Champion said that he has always had a unique relationship with Miz behind the scenes. Peeling the curtain back, Dolph said that he likens Miz to being his 'annoying little brother' backstage. This isn't the first time that a WWE performer has talked about Miz as being grating.

Routinely, The Miz will turn up to events in expensive suits and get his makeup done before heading to catering for something to eat. That tickles Ziggler, he admitted during the media appearance that it's easy to view Miz as a 'douche'.

Hidden beneath that personality though, Dolph says there's someone who has genuinely been forced to work harder than most others due to that perception. It's hilarious to imagine Ziggler looking at Miz in this way.
