Aaron Oster of the Press Slam podcast on the MLW Radio Network recently spoke with 8-time WWE Intercontinental Champion The Miz prior to the MLB celebrity softball game in Washington, DC. It’s part of the All-Star game festivities.
The Miz wasn’t present in Pittsburgh, PA for WWE Extreme Rules. As a result, he was unaware of Hulk Hogan’s status with WWE until Oster asked him for a comment.
“If he wants to stand in my corner, great. Just stay out of my ring,” Miz said when he was asked about Hogan.

The Miz didn't know about Hulk Hogan's reinstatement until I told him. His response: "Listen, when I was a kid growing up, I ate my vitamins and worked out because Hulk Hogan told me to." https://t.co/BliIhi3njo

As most fans know by now, Hogan is back with WWE but has not officially signed a contract. That could change soon given he has been officially reinstated into the WWE Hall Of Fame. The Miz obviously was not in the Locker Room when Hogan apologized to everyone before Extreme Rules went on the air on Sunday.
