The Miz Reveals He Is Dealing With Bursitis, Scheduled For Dark Match At WWE SmackDown

The Miz is currently dealing with a lingering injury.

The WWE Superstar has not competed on television since September 5 but has continued to feud with Dexter Lumis. The two were supposed to compete this past Monday with a contract for Lumis on the line, but Miz attacked the former NXT Superstar before the bell and the match was called off.

Miz recently appeared on the Ekler’s Edge Podcast and provided a health update, saying that he has been dealing with a Bursa Sac issue that keeps coming back.

“I just got back from Monday Night Raw. I didn’t have to have a match but any time you have matches and we have matches over the weekend as well. Any time you have a match, your entire body is sore. You [Austin Ekeler] were saying your neck. My neck, my body, there’s always some sort of — when I’m done, I don’t feel it and then the next day I’m like, where is this coming from? I have a bursa sac that I bursted that just keeps blowing up. I don’t know if you’ve ever blew that. It takes so long and then it’ll go away and then I don’t know if you can see it. Literally, it just keeps coming back. Fluid comes in, it goes away, comes in, goes away. I messed up my shoulder for a little bit but, you know, and then you’re trying to work out and try to work through it and try to make sure you maintain your body and your physicality so…,” Miz said.

He would continue on to share that he is scheduled to compete in a dark match this Friday at WWE’s SmackDown taping.

“Just this week, I have to go to SmackDown. I’m not a SmackDown superstar, I’m a Raw superstar. We have two brands, one’s on Monday, one’s on Friday. I’m going on Friday just to do the main event dark to give them something a little more for that live crowd. You’re not gonna see me on TV but the live crowd will see me in Toledo…,” he said.
