Former WWE Intercontinental Champion The Miz Gives High Praise To Current Champ Seth Rollins
The Miz is widely regarded as one of the best IC champions of all time, but even The Awesome One acknowledges that the man who beat him for the title at 'Mania has also been turning a lot of heads recently.
The Miz didn't quite manage to eclipse Pedro Morales as the longest tenured Intercontinental Champion in history, but despite his loss to Seth Rollins at WrestleMania 34, The Awesome One is still widely regarded as one of the greatest IC champs of all time.
Miz went out of his way to elevate the title at every opportunity, and The Kingslayer has been following suit, defending the belt in some incredible matches week after week on Raw.
During an interview with SportsBible.com, the former champ acknowledged how well Rollins has been doing since defeating him at 'Mania:
"I think Seth is doing a fantastic job with the Intercontinental championship. He’s had it for maybe a month and has probably defended it more times than I have in the past year! He’s on a hot-streak right now. His song says ‘Burn it down!’ and every time he goes out there that’s exactly what he tries to do. He elevates superstars every time they are in the ring;
I saw a match with Mojo Rawley and it was the best match I have ever seen Mojo in, in his entire career. That just shows you not only how good Mojo is, he was able to showcase, but how good Seth Rollins really is. I don’t think he can elevate it any more than I already have but I think he’ll keep it at that same level."
The Miz and Seth are on different shows now, but their paths will almost certainly cross again at some point down the road.
