The Miz says he prefers being a heel in WWE
The 43-year-old veteran has played a heel for a large part of his career in the Stamford-based promotion. Being on the villainous side, The Miz has won several championships in WWE.
However, the star has now automatically turned a babyface ever since he paired up with R-Truth. During an interview with WrestleRant Radio, the RAW Superstar mentioned that he loved being hated by fans. According to the former Intercontinental Champion, people hating him on TV gave him satisfaction to perform well inside the squared circle.
"No, I'm not used to it at all. People are like, 'What would you rather be? It's like, I love being hated. A lot of people, some bad guys, don't like to be hated. They'll go on X or Instagram and look at the comments to see if they're like, 'Oh, I don't like him, but man, is he cool!' Or, 'I don't like him, but man, he's got cool moves!' I don't like that. I want people to despise me and can't stand me. That's me doing my job to the best of my ability," he said.
