John Cena and The Miz got into a verbal exchange on the February 28th episode of Smackdown Live. The Miz would call out Cena for various different things, including being a part-time talent and a backstage manipulator. Cena would respond by saying that the Miz stole various parts of his gimmick from other wrestlers.
This promo seemed like a shoot with both guys taking personal shots at one another. Specifically, Cena said that the Miz stole from Chris Jericho:
“You straight up stole Chris Jericho’s personality”
Is there any truth to his claims? Turns out there might just be. In Chris Jericho’s book: ‘The Best in the World: At What I Have No Idea’, Y2J made the following remarks about the Miz stealing some of his gimmick:
“During my time away from the WWE, I noticed a lot of the character traits I’d created during my last run had been . . . shall we say . . . borrowed by other superstars. A lot of the heels were now talking slowly and wearing fancy suits, none more blatantly than The Miz. He’d gotten a huge push as the World Champion and had even headlined WrestleMania 2011, but it was funny hearing him talking in almost the same cadence and style as me while wearing the expensive clothes”
