-On The Miz, Ziggler said he and Miz grew up near each other in Ohio, and while Ziggler clawed and scratched his way to his spot in WWE, Miz went Hollywood instead. Ziggler says he “can’t stand” The Miz.

-Ziggler commented on the prestige of the IC Title in WWE, and talked about what it felt like to win the belt for the first time.

-As for his social media presence, Ziggler said the reason why people follow him and support him is because he’s the showoff and he backs it up. He says he has had a chip on his shoulder his entire life, and come Summerslam, he will once again steal the show.
