"They know it's going to be gold" - The Miz reveals his key role as a veteran in WWE
WWE Superstar The Miz has given details on his role as a veteran and all-rounder in the company.
The eight-time Intercontinental Champion got his start in Tough Enough season four. After plying his trade in WWE's developmental territories, The Miz was promoted to the main roster in 2006.
The 41-year-old has mostly played a villainous character throughout his career but is among the most polished performers in the company. In his 18 years with WWE, the former Tough Enough star has main-evented WrestleMania, won two Slammy Awards, and become the first-ever two-time Grand Slam Champion.
In a recent interview with The Detroit News, The Miz went into detail about his versatility and how he can be utilized in various ways.
“I would say my role in the company now is as a person who can develop newcomers but also be in the main event, or help the main event out, or be on the mid-card. I can be anywhere,” he says. “I’m the person that they’re like, ‘hey, we’ve got this,’ and if they give it to me, they know it’s going to be gold," said Miz. (H/T: Wrestling Inc.)

After winning the bout, The A-Lister turned on Paul and delivered a Skull-Crushing Finale, potentially setting up a high-profile feud between the two.
The Miz sheds light on his plans for the future
The former Intercontinental Champion has done it all in WWE and established himself as a reliable name for the company. As his career approaches the two-decade mark, fans might be wondering what the future holds for The A-Lister.
