The Miz might have become one of the biggest names in WWE over the last decade, but his locker room heat and expulsion have become a legendary tale that even MVP had to weigh in on. “The Miz got locker room heat because, and Mike’s a great guy, he just grew up in a bubble, so like socially he didn’t understand that stepping on somebody’s shoe in some places could get you killed!” he noted. “I was there when it happened, when he got famously kicked out of the locker room – when Benoit kicked him out of the locker room because he was eating fried chicken and he was standing over Scott Armstrong’s bag.”

MVP noted that the Armstrong family has a lot of respect in pro wrestling, and that Miz’s mistake was all the more disrespectful because Scott Armstrong, specifically, was beloved by everybody. 

“Then Chris just got up and was like ‘Miz you’re always f**king up some kinda way, get the f**k out, get your things and get the f**k out!’ and Miz, for a long time, wasn’t allowed to dress in the dressing room by the boys.” MVP further claimed that Miz only asked for permission to come back into the locker room after Benoit died, but took his locker room banishment in stride instead of complaining.
