The Miz is currently battling an injury.
The Miz and Dexter Lumis were finally scheduled to square off on Monday’s WWE RAW, with the winner earning a contract with the company. However, Miz used a steel chair to beat Lumis down before officials could step in and stop him. The match never took place after Miz left for the back.
After RAW, Miz made an appearance on the Ekeler’s Edge podcast and disclosed that he has bursitis. He stated that he “messed up” his shoulder for a while and that his bursa sac continues to rupture.
“I just got back from Monday Night RAW,” Miz began. “I didn’t have to have a match but any time you have matches and we have matches over the weekend as well. Any time you have a match, your entire body is sore. You [Austin Ekeler] were saying your neck. My neck, my body, there’s always some sort of — when I’m done, I don’t feel it and then the next day I’m like, where is this coming from? I have a bursa sac that I bursted that just keeps blowing up. I don’t know if you’ve ever blew that. It takes so long and then it’ll go away and then I don’t know if you can see it. Literally, it just keeps coming back. Fluid comes in, it goes away, comes in, goes away. I messed up my shoulder for a little bit but, you know, and then you’re trying to work out and try to work through it and try to make sure you maintain your body and your physicality so…”
According to the Mayo Clinic, bursitis is, “a painful condition that affects the small, fluid-filled sacs — called bursae (bur-SEE) — that cushion the bones, tendons and muscles near your joints. Bursitis occurs when bursae become inflamed. The most common locations for bursitis are in the shoulder, elbow and hip. But you can also have bursitis by your knee, heel and the base of your big toe. Bursitis often occurs near joints that perform frequent repetitive motion. Treatment typically involves resting the affected joint and protecting it from further trauma. In most cases, bursitis pain goes away within a few weeks with proper treatment, but recurrent flare-ups of bursitis are common.”
Additionally, Miz disclosed that he will compete in Friday’s WWE SmackDown in Toledo, Ohio, in the dark main event.
“Just this week, I have to go to SmackDown,” Miz revealed. “I’m not a SmackDown Superstar, I’m a RAW Superstar. We have two brands, one’s on Monday, one’s on Friday. I’m going on Friday just to do the main event dark to give them something a little more for that live crowd. You’re not gonna see me on TV but the live crowd will see me in Toledo.”
It appears that Miz’s most recent match took place at the WWE live event on October 1 in Bismarck, North Dakota. After losing to Dolph Ziggler, he lost a six-man match to Ziggler, Kevin Owens, and Bobby Lashley, teaming with Austin Theory and WWE United States Champion Seth Rollins.
