A new documentary about The Miz led to a WWE Hall of Famer getting emotional while watching it.

While he has been a heel for most of his career, The Miz is currently a babyface on the WWE brand with R-Truth as a tag team champion. They recently lost the World Tag Team Titles to The Judgment Day’s Finn Balor & JD McDonagh.
