In July 2012, The Miz began the first of his eight Intercontinental Championship reigns by defeating Christian on the 1000th episode of Raw.

At the time, “The A-Lister” had been a full-time member of the WWE roster for six years but he had not yet established himself as somebody who regularly produced strong in-ring performances, despite the fact that he main-evented WrestleMania one year earlier against John Cena.

Speaking in an Intercontinental Championship roundtable discussion this week with Christian and Randy Orton, The Miz revealed that WWE Hall of Famer Edge sent him a text after Raw 1000 and told him that his victory over Christian was the best match that he had ever had.

The Miz & Mrs star went on to explain how it meant a lot to him to receive the message from Edge, especially as he had grown up as a huge fan of former Intercontinental Champion The Ultimate Warrior and wanted to do the title justice.
