The veteran recently served as the guest host for The Rich Eisen Show and revealed that he regretted not accepting Paul Heyman's offer to write OVW television with him back in the day.

The former champion noted he was an outsider from reality TV at the time, but still wishes he had accepted Heyman's offer. The Miz also shared that CM Punk was working with Heyman at the time as well, but The Second City Saint had already earned respect during his time on the independent wrestling scene.

"He [CM Punk] was willing to take that risk and I wish I was too, but I also think my trajectory would have changed. I think I would have gotten up there, and Miz is all about himself, because they already thought I was already about myself. Nobody wanted me, I was from a reality show, 'He just wants to be famous. He doesn't really want it.' And so I wish I would have, I don't know if that is a regret, because I wish I would have gotten that information. I would have learned how to write a show and how a show was formed," he said. [From 4:33 - 5:03]

"When you get in a WWE ring, I can feel a person and I know I've been there long enough who is going to be a star and who is going to be the next big thing. I felt it with AJ. I felt it with Roman Reigns and I feel it with Logan Paul. And I think he hasn't scratched the surface of his talent," he said.
