Greg Miller No Longer Working for WWE – Greg Miller, co-founder of the entertainment company ‘Kinda Funny,’ confirmed that he is no longer with WWE. Miller hosted ‘This Is Awesome’ on Peacock and has collaborated with Xavier Woods on UpUpDownDown multiple times as far back as eight years ago.
Miller said he knew a day would come when he was no longer with WWE and jokingly stated that he was hoping to skate by for a little longer so his profile could remain on their official website.
And opened up my phone and saw on the old Bluesky, someone saying, ‘Greg, care to comment?’ And I opened it and it was Ringside Report about the fact that ‘WWE superstar has been removed from WWEsuperstars.com’ or whatever the web page where they put up all the superstars for WWE and guess who that superstar was? It was me, baby. Greg Miller. If you didn’t know, I hosted a show for WWE called ‘This Is Awesome’ where we ran you through the most awesome moments in WWE history and we filmed three seasons of it and it was awesome and it was great and it’s officially over. Right now, I’m getting so many messages on Bluesky and on Instagram of people saying, ‘Hey, three seasons is something to be proud of. I’m sure you’ll be back with some other thing.’ I love that and appreciate that so much. Thank you so much. But I will point out that I’ve known for a while that we were this. I was actually just hoping (to) skate by a little bit longer on WWE.com/superstars, so that I could keep saying I was a WWE superstar. I knew this day was coming.
There were three things that signaled to Miller that his time with the company might be coming up. The first was when WWE content began moving over to Netflix and that being a big focus.
After that, it was those who made ‘This Is Awesome’ being laid off in January 2025. He then added that when Big E began hosting original WWE content on Netflix, it would not have made sense for him to be another body waiting around to fill in for that role. Miller said it’s bittersweet, but he understands the decision because WWE has people under contract that can fill the role he had.
Again, it (‘This Is Awesome’) was a Peacock show, as you know, being a WWE person I’m sure. Raw is on Netflix right now in America, everywhere else. Everything is on Netflix. Netflix is kind of the focus. Not Peacock in terms of what was going on and that was like, uh-huh, okay, and there was a few different things that have happened. There was that of, yeah, well, you know, we’ll see what happens in 2025 knowing full well that Raw was going to be on Netflix and Netflix would be a big push. Then, it was the shocker for me that the people who make This Is Awesome were actually laid off in January and I was like, well, that’s not good. Now there’s no one there to actually make it happen and then of course the other one of since jumping over to Netflix, you’ve seen the one, the only, Big E, of course from The New Day, host a bunch of different shows and I think that more than anything is like, yeah, this is why it doesn’t make sense for Greg Miller, video game dork to go host anything, right?… So it was always interesting to host This Is Awesome. What an amazing opportunity, what an amazing ride it was for so long. But it was always like, I’m very much an outsider brought in to do this when you have plenty of people here who are good on the microphone and could talk about the most awesome everything… Is it bittersweet? Of course. I would have loved to have hosted WWE show(s) the rest of my existence. But, I also get it.
To close, he stated that if there was anything to be upset about, it’s because the people who worked on ‘This Is Awesome’ lost their jobs. Other than that, he is grateful and does not think it’ll be the last time he’s in the WWE circle.
The fact that I get to do crazy ass stuff like host a WWE show and go film a movie tomorrow, like, it’s outrageous and so, yeah, I’m just so thankful for everything that happened and honestly, more than anything, if I was upset, it would be upset to see people I think were so good at their jobs lose them but, I understand business, I understand where we are in the world, I understand X, Y and Z but, ‘This Is Awesome’ is something I’ll always be incredibly proud of and I think it’s so cool that I got to do it and again, I doubt this is the last time you’ll see me horsing around with WWE. God knows I can’t get away from this Xavier Woods person. I’ve tried. I’ve blocked the number but he keeps working his way through but, a good run on This Is Awesome. Three seasons I’m incredibly proud of and I just wanted to have something out there so you knew what was going on.
Miller began working for WWE in 2022 and that summer, he appeared on the SummerSlam Kickoff show.
In addition to co-founding ‘Kinda Funny,’ Miller was also an editor and video host for IGN.
