The Miz shocked the world when he cashed in the MITB contract and became a two-time WWE Champion at Elimination Chamber. The Miz used his MITB contract to pin Drew McIntyre soon after The Scottish Warrior managed to successfully defend his Championship inside the Elimination Chamber.

Not only was McIntyre beat up from his Elimination Chamber match, but he was also a victim of Bobby Lashley's brutal attack. Speaking on the Oral Sessions podcast with Renee Paquette, The Miz revealed how he got to know that he would become the WWE Champion.

"Rocked your world? Imagine me going into... I had no idea. I walk in there and nobody's talking to me. Like, all the creative are like... 'Is anyone's going to tell me what's going on?' The afternoon (when he came to know about him winning the title). Is anyone going to talk to me? And then I went in and figured out what was going on. And I was like, 'okay, this is it.'"
