WWE Rumor Roundup - Former IC Champion to return, Liv Morgan's status, Shane McMahon reportedly wants a Superstar to be pushed - 13th June 2020

#1. Backstage respect for The Miz

The Miz came to WWE from the world of Reality Television, and it's a known fact now that the A-Lister had to go through a lot of mistreatment backstage due to his background.

However, Miz stuck to his guns and went on to become a WWE Champion, and he is quite respected for his attitude towards the business.

On the Fightful Select Q&A podcast, Sean Ross Sapp was asked whether there were any current talents who have been praised continuously backstage by their peers.

SRS was quick to note The Miz's example, stating that one person higher up in the company said that The Miz had to go through a lot of trouble early on in his career. He, however, stuck around and is always respected for being an ultimate team player.

SRS noted the following:

I'll give you an example this week. I wouldn't say constantly, but I was talking to somebody about Lio Rush's tweet and if there was a bullying culture in the WWE, and I won't go into specifics about that because I'm still working on a story, but I had one person specifically put over The Miz, and they said, 'I was around when The Miz was around, and he got more s*** than anybody I've ever seen, and he stuck around, and I'll always respect him for that because he should not have gone through that, and the locker room should not have been like that.

I had a person very high up that really complimented Miz an awful lot in that regard, and I think that said a lot because he is an ultimate team player.
