The Miz Ready To Return To WWE After Completing American Gladiators Filming

The Hollywood Miz is officially cleared for landing back in WWE. After wrapping up his commitment to Amazon Prime’s American Gladiators reboot, the former WWE Champion has opened up his schedule to return to sports entertainment action.

Production Wrap Clears the Deck

Wrestling journalist Bryan Alvarez confirmed that filming has concluded on two complete seasons of the rebooted competition series. This development removes the scheduling conflict that kept The Miz away from WWE programming for several weeks.

The timing couldn’t be better for WWE creative, who now have one of their most versatile entertainers available for storyline development heading into the fall season.

Squashing the Departure Rumors

During his absence, internet speculation ran wild about Miz’s WWE status. Social media detectives claimed he had distanced himself from the company by unfollowing WWE accounts and scrubbing his profiles clean.

The A-Lister quickly put those rumors to bed with a direct response to fans:

“WWE and I are in very good standings. Like, we just dropped Miz Golf, which is part of WWE’s YouTube.”

His statement came via video while en route to Gladiators tapings, showing his commitment to maintaining transparency with the WWE Universe even while pursuing outside projects.

Unfinished Business on SmackDown

Miz’s WWE hiatus began with some unresolved drama on the blue brand. His final televised match occurred on the May 2 SmackDown episode, where he suffered a defeat to Aleister Black.

That loss came during an ongoing feud between the two performers, leaving their rivalry in an incomplete state. WWE creative now has the opportunity to either continue this storyline or pivot Miz into fresh feuds upon his return.

Wrestling Talent Invasion of American Gladiators

The new Gladiators series became something of a wrestling alumni gathering. Alongside Miz, the cast featured several familiar faces from the squared circle world.

AEW’s Wardlow brought his powerhouse presence to the show, while former WWE performers Eric Bugenhagen (previously known as Rick Boogs) and Kamille joined the competition. Jessica Roden and Jessie Godderz rounded out the wrestling contingent on the reboot.

What’s Next for The Miz?

With his Amazon commitment fulfilled, all eyes turn to how WWE will reintegrate one of their most reliable performers. The Miz brings unique value as someone equally comfortable in main event feuds or helping elevate younger talent.

His return timing aligns perfectly with WWE’s current roster needs and storyline opportunities. Will he pick up where he left off with Aleister Black, or does Triple H have bigger plans waiting in the wings?
