The Miz's WWE future in doubt amid social media silence and veteran releases
Image via WWE WWE has shocked fans recently with the release of veteran superstars R-Truth and Carlito. Both wrestlers were beloved figures who had long tenures with the company. Their departures came as contracts expired, sparking concerns among fans about the company's direction. R-Truth's exit was especially surprising given that he headlined Saturday Night's Main Event just days before parting ways with WWE. The roster shake-up led to immediate speculation about who might be next. All eyes quickly turned to The Miz, a seasoned WWE star known for his charisma and media presence. The Miz scrubs WWE references from social media In a move that has fans talking, The Miz removed all mentions of WWE from his social media profiles shortly after R-Truth's release. Once boasting the title 'the most must-see WWE Superstar,' his X bio now reads simply: 'the most must-read Twitter account of all time.' Moreover, he unfollowed WWE's official account, fueling speculation that his WWE status might be in jeopardy. The Miz's online behavior is unusual for someone still fully engaged with WWE, especially given his typical role as a vocal promoter and ambassador of the brand. Wrestling insider Bryan Alvarez weighed in on the situation during a recent episode of Wrestling Observer Live . Alvarez confirmed that The Miz is currently involved with Amazon Prime's reboot of American Gladiators, which may explain some of his recent absence from WWE programming. However, Alvarez added, 'I just think it would be a pretty lame thing to do if you're not being released - when everyone else has been released. So where there's smoke, there could be fire.' Such comments have fans wondering if WWE is quietly preparing to phase out the 44-year-old superstar. Despite the growing rumours, WWE has not confirmed any plans regarding The Miz's contract. Reports from wrestling news outlets indicate that The Miz has not been officially informed about any potential release or non-renewal. Still, with WWE focusing on refreshing its roster and moving on from long-tenured stars, uncertainty around The Miz's future remains high. Since signing with WWE in 2004 and debuting on the main roster in 2006, The Miz has been a consistent presence in professional wrestling. He holds two WWE Championships and nine tag team titles, marking him as one of the company's most successful performers. Whether The Miz's social media moves signal a temporary break or the beginning of the end of his WWE career, fans will be watching closely for updates.
