WWE Smackdown Live star The Miz, who will be competing in this year’s Money in the Bank ladder match, had the following to say on making the WWE Championship ‘relevant and prestigious’ during a recent interview with Sports Illustrated’s Extra Mustard.

“My goal is to make the WWE championship as relevant and prestigious as it should be. Do I think AJ Styles is doing a terrific job as WWE champion? Absolutely.

But that WWE championship should be in the main event of every single WWE pay per view. It upsets me when I see that it is not.

My goal is to not only win the Money in the Bank contract, cash it in and become WWE champion. I want to put that title back where it belongs: the main event.”

As noted, three big matches were been announced for Takeover at last night’s NXT TV tapings, and you can read those spoilers at this link.
