25 Years Before Becoming WWE Royalty, The Miz Debuted on MTV’s ‘The Real World’ ...Saudi Arabia

In 2001, the Real World franchise's 10th season kicked off with a return to New York City, where the hit reality TV series first began. Longtime fans of the show may remember Mizanin's love of wrestling back then, which left his roommates both amused and skeptical of his dreams of becoming a WWE Superstar.

To feel more comfortable in front of the Real World cameras and his housemates, Mizanin decided to lean into his Miz persona. "The Miz came in as a way to say exactly what I was feeling and not have repercussions for it because it was a character I was playing. That character became very popular, not only with fans but with castmates," he recalled.

Fast-forward 25 years, and The Miz has become one of the world's greatest wrestlers in WWE. Since joining the top-ranked wrestling promotion, the WWE Smackdown star has earned countless championship titles, appeared as a character in WWE video games, taken on film and television roles, and much more. He has also returned to reality TV as the current host of the American Gladiators reboot and has appeared on WWE-centered shows such as Total Divas, Total Bellas, and his own series, Miz & Mrs., alongside his wife and two-time WWE Divas Champion, Maryse Mizanin.

"If it wasn't for The Real World, I'd probably be working at my dad's Mr. Hero flipping burgers and dropping fries. It made me realize I could do anything that I wanted."
