The New Day member described the two-time WWE Champion as “unpleasant and obnoxious” while recalling the first time they met.

"You might be surprised; he's mellowed as he's gotten older and definitely got better,” said Big E. But he was pretty insufferable when I first met him, and I've told him this - just very unpleasant to be around and very obnoxious. He would do things almost like an 8-year-old. I promise you, he legit did the 'I'm not touching you' with his finger an inch from my face, and I like being unbothered. He's gotten better, which is why he didn't come to mind, but The Miz was fairly awful when I first met him.”

Although Big E was not the biggest fan of The Miz when they first met in WWE, both superstars share a better relationship today. The latter sustained an injury for the first time in his WWE career at WrestleMania Backlash when he faced Damian Priest in a controversial Lumberjack Match.

Following his ACL tear, The A-Lister was ruled out of action indefinitely. He still regularly appears on RAW in a wheelchair to accompany his best friend and tag team partner, John Morrison.
