It’s really difficult to not do a spit take when you hear something so absurdly stupid that you wonder if the person who said it has brain damage.

In this case, Miz talked about how smart he was, that he thinks “on a different level” and is “a master strategist,” which led to him pulling himself from the Elimination Chamber match for the WWE Championship on Sunday. Miz bragged the he was in control and was putting all world champions on notice.

Miz. Was putting people on notice. Miz.

This is the guy who can’t win a match to save his life. A guy who has been a punchline for months, even while carrying the Money in the Bank briefcase around for the last few months. We know wrestlers can be deliberately delusional, but it’s just a reminder of how poorly WWE books its wrestlers that not only do you think Miz is delusional, but you realize that Bad Bunny is a bigger threat than Miz.

Someone needs to go on a long vacation for about two years, and then maybe we can start over with him.
