Henry reiterated that Miz is often forced to “dial it back” on the microphone, as WWE wouldn’t want him to embarrass other wrestlers, pointing to a segment featuring LA Knight a few months ago. “It was not fair, and that’s what happened last night — again.” 

The segment on “Raw” also seemed to hint at Miz turning babyface for the first time in years. Henry believes the timing is right for a change in direction for the former WWE Champion, especially since he’s earned the respect of fans by portraying a dastardly heel for years. “The Miz has never been a true babyface,” Henry said. “I mean, he’s hovered over that line … what Miz is about to embark on would make him a babyface. At this point in Miz’s career, because he was a heel so much, turning a corner and doing a babyface thing is gonna make him so over!” Henry added that Miz could potentially return to the main event scene for the first time since holding the WWE Championship in 2021, suggesting that WWE could be preparing to give him one last run as a top star before he transitions into part-time status.

“It was a decade before he got another shot at being the guy [in 2021],” Henry said. “Here we are again — another five to seven years — and he’s gonna do it again. Miz is set up for this, he’s built for it.”
