The Miz is proud of his “invisible John Cena” segment that took place on the September 4th episode of WWE Monday Night RAW. During the segment, The Miz interviewed “Cena” and hit him with a Skull Crushing Finale. Of course, Cena wasn’t there for the segment.
Speaking during a new interview with TNT Sports, the A-Lister commented on what it was like putting the segment together, how the segment played with the audience, and more.
You can check out some highlights from the interview below:
On putting the segment together: “We were sitting there writing it, and we’re like ‘Alright, how do we make this absolutely incredible?’ And I was like ‘I’ve got to hit him with the Skull Crushing Finale.’ But you can’t just hit him, you’ve got to play it a little bit like he’s there. Like, you get so angry and then you start pointing at him, and everyone thinks ‘What is he doing?’ The push is what I think got the people in. Like, when I had invisible John Cena actually push me … that’s when I realized ‘Oh, this is getting everyone. Everyone’s into it. This is pretty cool.’ And then I was like ‘Well, now, I would swing at him, he would duck, he would swing …’ So that’s kind of how it all came.”
On how the segment played with the audience: “This is a very difficult promo to cut because you don’t know how the live audience is going to be. You don’t know if there’s going to be that one guy that’s trying to be a heckler that’s ruining it for everybody else. Or you don’t know if people are going to gravitate towards it… So you go out there, and you’re live. You don’t get three takes, four takes to do it … And it ended up working to perfection. Because everyone was talking about it afterward, and I’m really proud of that segment. I think everyone involved did an amazing job, which was basically me and invisible John Cena.”
