This past Friday night’s episode of WWE SmackDown saw United States Champion Logan Paul defeat former WWE Champion The Miz in a Men’s Elimination Chamber Qualifying Match.
Shortly following the matchup, the A-Lister took part in a backstage digital exclusive interview with the company, where he talked about a number of topics including how he wanted to challenge Seth “Freakin” Rollins for his World Heavyweight Championship but came up short and needs to figure things out in order to return to the main event of WrestleMania.
Miz said, “You wanna go to the chamber because you want a chance, an opportunity at Seth Rollins for the World Heavyweight Championship and that’s exactly what I wanted to do, I came up short. Logan showed me things that I didn’t realize he had, and did anything he could possibly do to defeat me. He did everything, going behind the ref’s back, trying to get foreign objects in there, everything. I gotta go back and relook everything and figure out what I need to do to get back into the picture that I feel like I belong in. And that is the main event. That is top guy at WrestleMania. So we’ll figure it out. Time will tell. Don’t lose the confidence. I am always awesome.”
