Kevin Owens has publicly praised The Miz, a two-time WWE Grand Slam Champion, for his underrated contributions to professional wrestling. Despite facing criticism throughout his career, including during his main event appearances and championship wins, The Miz is recognized by Owens as a consummate professional who consistently delivers high-quality performances. Owens highlighted Miz’s willingness to adapt, collaborate, and elevate matches with any opponent, citing a recent standout match with Gunther as an example of Miz’s versatility and skill.

Currently wrestling on WWE’s SmackDown brand, The Miz also serves as a mentor and tag team partner to Carmelo Hayes. Owens’ remarks aim to give Miz the recognition he deserves within the wrestling community, emphasizing that Miz’s work ethic and in-ring abilities often go unappreciated despite his significant achievements and status in WWE.
