44-year-old legend is returning to WWE "soon"

A former WWE Champion is expected to return to action soon after a hiatus. According to a report, filming for the reboot of American Gladiators has been wrapped, and a superstar who was part of the show will soon be making a comeback to the promotion.

The Miz has been absent from TV since early May as he was busy filming American Gladiators in the UK. The 44-year-old star will host the Amazon Prime show, with John Ferraro and Daniel Calin serving as executive producers.

According to the latest Wrestling Observer Newsletter, the show has wrapped up the tapings of two of its seasons in England, in addition to a second round of shooting. As such, The Miz is expected to be "back soon."

WON also noted that AEW stars Wardlow and Kamille, who are participating in the show as competitors, will also be able to return to their company.

The Miz has been continuously expanding his horizons beyond the wrestling ring. The former two-time Mr. Money in the Bank participated in Season 30 of the popular reality show “Dancing with the Stars” in 2021.

Apart from that, the 44-year-old also has his own USA Network reality series, “Miz & Mrs," which featured his wife Maryse. Currently, he also runs a YouTube channel called "Miz Golf," where he showcases fun golf moments with his friends and family.

The Miz's last appearance in WWE

The Miz had been involved in a feud with Aleister Black ever since the former AEW star returned to WWE.

With Carmelo Hayes by his side, The A-Lister took on Black on the May 2 episode of SmackDown. Despite the eight-time Intercontinental Champion coming close to a win, the match ended with Black picking up a win following a Black Mass.

It remains to be seen what direction the WWE will have planned for The Awesome One once he makes his return to action.

About the author

Sherjeel Malik is a writer at Sportskeeda and covers pro wrestling. He was hooked on the product from the moment he saw The Hardy Boyz jumping off ladders during the Attitude Era. While he comes from an engineering background, Sherjeel’s love for pro wrestling and content writing led him to pursue a career in sports journalism. Before assuming his current role at Sportskeeda, Sherjeel worked at other reputable organizations for five years.

While writing articles, he ensures that he only relies on credible sources for information and covers relevant subjects that do not project an agenda against a particular person or association. WWE legend Paul Heyman once shared Sherjeel’s work on his social media handle.

Sherjeel’s earliest memory of pro wrestling is watching Stone Cold Steve Austin and The Undertaker square off for the WWE Title in the main event of a pay-per-view in 1998. His favorite wrestlers are Randy Orton and Jeff Hardy. While he admires Orton for his character work as a heel, he looks up to Jeff because of his unique wrestling style and risk-taking ability.

If he could go back to the Attitude Era, Sherjeel would like to manage Ken Shamrock and be his mouthpiece. He feels Shamrock’s promo skills prevented him from becoming a main event-level act in WWE. Hence, he would like to help the UFC Hall of Famer get over with fans.

When not writing about pro wrestling, he likes to read classics and fiction books.
