The Miz will fight Seth Rollins for his World Heavyweight Championship

Recently, PWInsider revealed that Rollins’ first World Heavyweight Championship defense will be against former champion The Miz. The match will take place in Westchester County Center, White Plains, New York this Saturday, June 3.

Days before his title win, ‘The Visionary’ promised to be a fighting champion, unlike Roman Reigns. And he is keeping his word. It has just been a week, and he is already walking the walk.

Plus, it will also be an important match for his opponent on Saturday.

The Miz last won a match in December 2022

‘The A-lister’ is not having the best time in WWE right now. It has been six months since he won any match, let alone a title match in the Stanford-based promotion. His last win was on December 19, 2022, against Dexter Lumis in a Winner Takes All Ladder Match.

He defeated his opponent, courtesy of interference from Bronson Reed. The match also marked the ending of his feud with Lumis. His match with Rollins this Saturday will be at the WWE live show event, therefore, it is very less likely that the newly established title will change shoulders.
