Baron Corbin is far from a fan-favorite wrestler, but fellow WWE ‘Raw’ Superstar Mike ‘The Miz’ Mizanin reminded TheWrap that could all turn around – just look at his own career. “It took 13 years for people to realize my talent, I think. If you really think about it a lot of people say Baron Corbin is that heel that you just can’t stand, you don’t want to watch, blah, blah, blah,” Miz said in an interview leading up to a (particularly) busy week for him and his wife Maryse, “I was that guy for a long time. It took a long, long time.” Before the pay per view of Nov 19, the chances for them to cross paths are minimal as they exist on various planes of WWE existence. The Miz is a Raw brand member. Corbin is a talent from SmackDown, so the wrestlers themselves felt compelled to build themselves towards that bout.

Corbin's most notable line was his final one. He told The Miz: "You should just stay home and keep playing dress-up with your little wife." “It’s not like WWE changed me to a babyface — it was the audience,” Miz continued. “And honestly I think it was ‘Miz & Mrs.’ Seeing me on a show, and actually see that I’m not– I hope people see that I’m not as arrogant and cocky and egotistical as I am on TV.” “And yeah, I do a great job as a bad guy, as a villain, but I’m enjoying this new challenge of being a good guy,” he said. “And guess what? It takes time to develop, even though I am a seasoned vet, even though I’ve been there for so many years. This is a whole different dynamic that I have to get used to, that I have to find.”
The Miz and Shane McMahon's rivalry
Miz and Shane O’Mac had an enormous grudge match at WrestleMania earlier this year, one that ended at least for Mike with a particularly huge spot. Miz supplied Shane at New Jersey’s MetLife Center from some pretty high scaffolding. The maneuver was par for the McMahon family’s daredevil course, but it was surprisingly dangerous for Miz, who had been knocked by many fans for a safe style wrestling before.
