The Miz Calls Out Logan Paul for Stealing His WWE Gimmick

The Miz is calling out Logan Paul for gimmick theft — and he’s not holding back.

Speaking with Adrian Hernandez, The Miz flat-out accused the Maverick of ripping off his WWE persona, claiming Logan is getting credit for a role Miz came up with years ago: the cocky, hated outsider who doesn’t come from the wrestling world.

“He stole my gimmick. My entire gimmick,” Miz said. “He’s like, ‘I’m an outsider.’ Outsider? I was an outsider before being an outsider was cool.”

The Miz made his name as a reality TV star-turned-WWE main eventer — and it didn’t come easy. He was made fun of, hazed, and doubted for years. So now seeing Logan Paul enter WWE and be embraced for doing something similar? Miz isn’t exactly applauding. This comes after CM Punk gave Logan Paul some unexpected props on an episode of What’s For Lunch, admitting that The Maverick is actually good for business.

“I understand the criticisms, and I would probably be levying them heavy against him if I was CM Punk from like 10 years ago,” Punk said. “But to see him take it seriously and want to do more… but the way the business is now, it’s almost like, you know, pump the brakes. You don’t need to do more.”

Punk went on to say that Logan Paul’s biggest asset in wrestling is the fact that people love to hate him — and in wrestling, that equals money.

“Everybody hates this dude, right? And I think that’s one of the more admirable things about it — how much everybody hates him. Because in our business, that’s a good thing. That’s dollars.”

Now that the Miz is going after Logan Paul, it might not be long before we see a rematch between the self-made superstar and the influencer-turned-wrestler.

Is Logan Paul really just copying The Miz’s blueprint — or has he taken the “outsider” gimmick to a whole new level? Drop your thoughts in the comments and tell us who really owns the role.
