WWE Superstar The Miz has reignited his infamous “massive balls” gimmick—this time by aiming it directly at Indiana Pacers All-Star Tyrese Haliburton.
Taking to X (formerly Twitter), The Miz called out Haliburton after the NBA guard was seen making a “big balls” gesture during a recent playoff game. Sharing an image of Haliburton mid-celebration, The Miz wrote:
“Stealing my gimmick. In my city.”
He followed up with a challenge, suggesting a match be booked between the two.
The Miz’s reference points back to a running WWE joke that began in June 2022, when his wife Maryse claimed on live television that The Miz had “average balls,” only to later declare he had the “biggest balls in the world.” The segment quickly became a fan-favorite comedy bit, with The Miz proudly embracing the gimmick ever since.
While the call-out may have been playful, it’s rooted in The Miz’s classic blend of character work and real-world crossover. Tyrese Haliburton, meanwhile, is no stranger to WWE. The NBA standout has made guest appearances on both WWE NXT and main roster programming, and is known to be a long-time wrestling fan.
Whether this interaction leads to an in-ring moment or a courtside cameo, fans are already buzzing about a potential showdown between The A-Lister and one of the NBA’s brightest stars.
Stealing my gimmic.
In my city.
Haliburton vs The Miz book it! https://t.co/yCNSYipanu— The Miz (@mikethemiz) May 7, 2025
I don’t like the Miz and we all know that he’s got tiny balls so he should stop acting like they’re big 😒 #SurvivorSeries
