The Miz took to Instagram today to share a video and said that he wanted to replace Drew McIntyre if he can't perform at the PLE. Drew McIntyre is scheduled to team up with Logan Paul to battle Randy Orton and Jelly Roll at SummerSlam 2025. The SmackDown star noted that he was Paul's first tag team partner in the company.

"The man who is bored at work forgot his passport. Drew McIntyre is landlocked in the UK and might not even be able to make it to work at SummerSlam. Well, that looks like the United States to me, and I'm not landlocked. So it looks like Logan Paul needs a partner. Let me ask you a question: Who is the person that brought Logan Paul into WWE?" he said.

The veteran claimed that Paul could be a future world champion and boasted about his victories over Randy Orton in the past.

"I look at him as someone who could be a world champion. He's not just a celebrity playing wrestler; he is the blueprint to what the future looks like. And now he has to go to SummerSlam and go up against Randy Orton and Jelly Roll. Let me ask you this: Who did I beat to win my first WWE championship? Did you forget? Yeah, I've beaten Randy Orton. Not just once, many times, on big stages, and I can do it again," he added.
