Former WWE Champion The Miz has challenged a recent celebrity guest to a match, calling for the company to book this bout.
One of the weirder jokes surrounding The Miz has been about the size of his balls, with the WWE star declaring on numerous occasions since 2022 that his are indeed huge, not tiny.
The Miz has now called out NBA Indiana Pacers star Tyrese Haliburton for “stealing his gimmick”, following Haliburton making a suspect gesture during a recent game.
Calling for WWE to book the match, The Miz wrote:
Stealing my gimmick. In my city.
Haliburton vs The Miz book it!
Haliburton has expressed interest in stepping into a WWE ring before, with the NBA star recently noting that he pushed to be in February’s Royal Rumble match.
He has appeared as a celebrity guest on WWE TV a number of times, notably interfering in a match on the June 28, 2024 SmackDown episode.
The Miz is no stranger to celebrity wrestling matches, notably teaming with John Morrison against Damian Priest and the debuting Bad Bunny at WrestleMania 38, before teaming with Logan Paul in Paul’s WWE debut at WrestleMania 39.
Stealing my gimmic.
In my city.
Haliburton vs The Miz book it! https://t.co/yCNSYipanu— The Miz (@mikethemiz) May 7, 2025
