– While speaking with The Associated Press, The Miz talked about teaming with Maryse to face John Cena and Nikki Bella at WrestleMania this Sunday.
The Miz noted that the response from fans has changed since the match was first revealed.
“I do whenever something is there and people are talking about it and making noise about it. Why deny the magic,” he asked. “It’s funny, when it was announced as a mixed-tag match, people were like, you’re kidding me. Cena deserves to go against the Undertaker, Miz deserves to go against the WWE champion. This is below them. And then, once it started, people started going, ‘Oh wait a second,’ people are telling me this is the match people are looking forward to most. People care.”
– In an interview with Forbes, Chris Jericho stated that his current WWE run “is winding down.”
“We’re getting ready to put out a new Fozzy record, and I can’t do wrestling and music at the same time. So I think this [wrestling] run is pretty much winding down at this point,” Jericho said. “It’s time to take a break from wrestling and work on some of these other things that have been on the back burner and are starting to come to fruition.”
As noted, Chris Jericho will be touring with Fozzy in May and he is listed for some shows in June, including the Extreme Rules pay-per-view on June 4th, although it could be an oversight on their end. Jericho said that he will work WWE live events when he’s free.
“If there’s a tour of Japan or a tour of Australia, I’ll go if I’m free. If there’s a weekend I’m free, I’ll do it in Peoria or Lakeland, Florida. It doesn’t matter to me how big or small the shows are, because they all count. I still enjoy it, and when it’s time for me to come back, if that time comes and when that time comes, then I’ll come back the same way I always do.”
