The Miz Says Facing The Rock In His WWE Return Was His Most Memorable Moment

The Miz is a proper veteran and one of the most decorated WWE Superstars in the history of the company. The A-Lister has won numerous titles during his run in WWE and has also acted in films and TV shows. He also opened up about his most memorable moment in WWE.

The A-Lister is considered by many to be one of the greatest heels to have graced a pro wrestling ring. For many fans, The Miz is definitely a star who deserves all the success he has received so far.

At Survivor Series 2011, The A-Lister teamed up with R-Truth and faced off against The Rock and John Cena in a tag team match. It marked The Rock’s first WWE match in almost a decade at that time.

While speaking on Out of Character with Ryan Satin, The Miz was asked what was the most memorable time he was hit with someone’s finishing move. He named The Rock hitting him with The Rock Bottom as his favorite moment.

“Taking The Rock’s People’s Elbow at Survivor Series when he hasn’t come back to wrestle in like eight years. I mean, being able to be in that first match, to be able to go up against John Cena and Rock in Rock’s first ever match back to be able to take the People’s Elbow was incredible. Because, I mean, I remember being on the real world going home and being like, ‘What do I want to do with the rest of my life,’ looking on the shelf and there’s a Rock action figure, and saying, I want to be a WWE Superstar, and there I am, like 15 years later in the middle of the ring in Rock’s first match back in eight years.”

The Rock has not appeared on WWE television since 2019 as well. He is likely to return at WrestleMania 39 and face off against Roman Reigns. We’ll see how the company books the feud at that time.
