The Miz is set to step away from Friday Night SmackDown for a while, as he prepares to host the newest version of American Gladiators for Amazon Prime.
According to Dave Meltzer of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, The Miz will be traveling to London soon to begin filming the revamped series, marking another major hosting opportunity in his entertainment career.
“Miz will be leaving for London soon to film the newest incarnation of American Gladiators for Amazon Prime, which he’s hosting,” Meltzer reported.
The upcoming reboot is said to feature elite athletes from around the globe, including CrossFit winners, bodybuilders, and former college stars. Fans can expect the return of classic events like Hang Tough, Gauntlet, and The Eliminator, along with new challenges designed to push competitors even further.
This likely explains recent WWE storylines between The Miz and Carmelo Hayes, where Hayes told Miz he could handle things on his own. The split seems to be WWE’s way of writing The A-Lister off TV while he’s overseas filming.
The Miz's resume continues to expand outside the ring, with American Gladiators joining his portfolio that already includes Miz & Mrs., Cannonball, and numerous reality and talk show appearances.
It’s unclear when The Miz will return to WWE programming, but fans will surely be watching his next big move in the world of television.
