The Miz has been enjoying success as a babyface star on RAW, but there’s no denying that the former WWE Champion delivers some of his most acclaimed work as a heel.

Speaking on WrestleRant, The Miz was open and honest regarding what role he prefers to work as in WWE, and to nobody’s surprise, he revealed that he loves being hated, and he prefers to play a heel in WWE:

“People are like, what would you rather be? It’s like, I love being hated. A lot of people, some bad guys don’t like to be hated. They’ll go on X or Instagram and look at the comments to see if they’re like, ‘oh, I don’t like him, but man, is he cool’. Or I don’t like him, but man, he’s got cool moves. I don’t like that. I want people to despise me and can’t stand me. That’s me doing my job to the best of my ability. Now after, I don’t know what, 18 years of being a bad guy, all of a sudden you attach yourself to R-Truth and you’re going to be beloved because there is no one more beloved in WWE than R-Truth.”

Fans have been fantasy booking Miz turning heel on Truth for a few months now, and whilst this is a likely destination, WWE risk the possibility of this being a carbon copy of Awesome Truth’s storyline from 2011.
