The Miz On Being Where Baron Corbin Is Now, Fans Being Responsible For His Recent Babyface Turn

The Miz recently spoke with The Wrap and brought up Baron Corbin when asked about his own current positioning as a babyface on the WWE RAW brand, after playing a top heel for so long.

"It took 13 years for people to realize my talent, I think. If you really think about it? a lot of people say Baron Corbin is that heel that you just can't stand, you don't want to watch, blah, blah, blah," Miz said. "I was that guy for a long time. It took a long, long time."

Regarding his own babyface turn, Miz said the fans brought the turn on, not WWE.

"It's not like WWE changed me to a babyface ? it was the audience," Miz said. "And honestly I think it was 'Miz & Mrs.' Seeing me on a show, and actually see that I'm not? I hope people see that I'm not as arrogant and cocky and egotistical as I am on TV."

He continued, "And yeah, I do a great job as a bad guy, as a villain, but I'm enjoying this new challenge of being a good guy. And guess what? It takes time to develop, even though I am a seasoned vet, even though I've been there for so many years. This is a whole different dynamic that I have to get used to, that I have to find."
