The Miz became a two-time WWE Champion at the 2021 Elimination Chamber premium live event. NXT star Dijak recently detailed the locker room's reaction to the victory.
Miz won the championship by cashing in his Money in the Bank contract on then-champion Drew McIntyre, who beat five other men on the night to successfully retain his title.
NXT Superstar Dijak took to Twitter to recall The Miz's second WWE Championship win, which occurred during the pandemic. He also sent a heartfelt message to The A-Lister and revealed how superstars backstage reacted to the historic victory.
"Two years ago it was the middle of the pandemic, and it was the end of the night so there was probably only 15-20 of us left, but let me tell you the entire locker room was watching the monitor when @mikethemiz won the WWE Title and we all popped huge. From outcast to leader," wrote Dijak.
