Despite being one of the most hated stars on the roster, The Miz is hardworking and oftentimes an underrated WWE Superstar. According to AEW star Bryan Danielson, working with The A-Lister is a great launching pad for any starting wrestler.
Bryan Danielson (fka Daniel Bryan) had a memorable feud with the two-time WWE Champion following the former's first retirement and subsequent run as the general manager of SmackDown. The two reignited their on-screen rivalry after Bryan returned to the ring in 2018.
When asked whether working with The Miz was a 'demotion,' on the South Kongress Podcast, Bryan Danielson dismissed the notion among many online fans.
The American Dragon instead described it as a blessing owing to The A-Lister's natural heel persona:
New Champs in WWE! More RIGHT HERE
"As much as I dislike himas a human being, Miz really helped me and gave me a good story point and launching pad in WWE. Everything is how you take it, how it plays out. I don't think [it's a demotion], no. If it gives you an opportunity to show people what you can do, it's a great starting point because at the very least, the fans dislike The Miz. If you can go in, and you're good enough, if you go in there and have a great program with him, it's a great launching pad," said Danielson. [H/T: Fightful]
