Seth Rollinsfaked his knee injuryas he pulled offthe Ruse of the Century at SummerSlam by winning the WWE World Heavyweight Title. However, The Miz wasnt happy about what he did as he ended up mocking Rollins by faking his own injury recently.
While speaking on The Rich Eisen Show, The Miz began by pretending he had suffered a knee injury by walking on crutches, claiming that during a pre-tape segment on the previous Fridays SmackDown, he heard a pop in his knee. He said it turned out to be broken, that he went to Birmingham for evaluation, and was told he would be out of WWE for a significant amount of time.
The Miz described it as something that had to be dealt with day by day, but added that he was already thinking about how he could fake an injury, appear on the Rich Eisen Show to gain sympathy, and then return a month later to shock everyone by becoming World Champion.
The A-Lister then talked about Seth Rollins, accusing him of faking his own knee injury. The Miz said that if he did the same thing, he could be champion in a month, and wondered why more wrestlers didnt try it.
Miz remembered texting Rollins after seeing him get hurt, thinking it was real, and recalling when Rollins got injured in a match with Kane and missed a year. Miz said he was almost in tears, wished Rollins a speedy recovery, and got a heart emoji back.
Miz explained that if he ever really got injured, which he says has never happened, he wouldnt want to talk about it either. Thats why he believed Rollins was telling the truth. He joked that hosting the Rich Eisen Show might bring him luck, and if faking an injury could suddenly lead to winning a title, he would be happy to do it.
This comes after we had previously reported that several talent and WWE staff were upset over Seth Rollins injury ruse. Regardless, it was clear The Miz had a blast mocking Seth Rollins and thats all that mattered to him in the end.
