The Miz Returns On WWE SmackDown
The Miz made his return to WWE television on the July 25th episode of WWE SmackDown.
Miz was initially shown at the top of the show as superstars gathered on the stage to pay tribute to Hulk Hogan. Later in the show, Miz was seen talking in the background with Solo Sikoa.
Finally, the former WWE Champion made his official return to WWE TV, confronting Jacob Fatu, who took him out on the May 30th episode of WWE SmackDown. Miz slapped Fatu, setting up a match between the two.

Miz has been filming “American Gladiators,” where he is the host of the show, and his golf show during his WWE absence.
This was his first appearance on WWE TV since May 30 when he interfered in a triple threat match between Carmelo Hayes, Fatu, and Andrade. Miz tried to help Hayes by going after Fatu, but his plan backfired as he was met with a superkick and a hip attack into the barricade.
He last wrestled on the May 2nd episode of WWE SmackDown, losing to Aleister Black.
