He later went on to be a part of its spin-off series Real World/Road Rules Challenge, now known as The Challenge and was the winner in two seasons of the show. Years later in 2012, The Miz hosted the Season Finale and Reunion Special of the show’s 22nd season named Battle of the Exes.
The heart of the matter
MTV News caught up with ‘The A-Lister’ at the taping to get his reaction on returning to the show, who said that he is glad to be back as this was where it all began for him. He acknowledged that MTV made him believe in himself and this helped him realise his dream of becoming a WWE Superstar.
Here’s what The Miz was quoted as saying:
“It's awesome to be back. This is where it all started for me. MTV gave me the opportunity to believe in myself and do anything I wanted, and now I get to be a WWE superstar, which was my childhood dream. And I guarantee I would not be where I was today if it wasn't for MTV.”
What next?
The Miz is currently in pursuit of his 7th WWE Intercontinental Championship and recently became the #1 contender for the title currently held by Dean Ambrose. The title match is scheduled to happen on the upcoming episode of Raw which takes place at the Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey.

In terms of mic skills, The Miz is definitely one of the top Superstars in the WWE at present. No wonder, he has been getting opportunities to show off his talent on other platforms, too.
