The Miz At One Point Wanted To Drop Intercontinental Championship To The Ultimate Warrior

In his latest “TikTok” video, The Miz revealed his plans to wrestle The Ultimate Warrior at WrestleMania. Growing up, The Miz idolized Warrior which is why he “really wanted to” compete in a gauntlet lumberjack match against former Intercontinental Champions, with the final entrant being Warrior. The A-Lister had planned to involve four different champions, with the lumberjack setting being chosen to save time on entrances.

According to The Miz, The Ultimate Warrior would have squashed him to win the WWE Intercontinental Title at WrestleMania. The Hollywood star said:

“I would have to go through a gauntlet match … In the end when I defeated the last person in that gauntlet lumberjack match, what would happen? Ultimate Warrior’s music would hit, and he would be the last person in the gauntlet match,” Miz said. “He would run down, he would hit me with three clotheslines, do a splash and hit 1,2,3, and beat me for the Intercontinental Championship and I thought that would have been really, really cool.”

Of course, this moment would not come to pass. The Miz will be the host of WrestleMania 39, as announced on Monday’s RAW.
