WWE's 'The Miz' comments on Super Bowl LIX, American Century Championship training
WWE's 'The Miz' comments on Super Bowl LIX, American Century Championship training This week, Chiefs Wire's Ed Easton Jr. spoke to Mike 'The Miz' Mizanin about his training for this year's American Century Championship, which will take place July 9-13 at Edgewood Tahoe. He shares his thoughts on the Kansas City Chiefs loss to the Philadelphia Eagles in Super Bowl LIX and potential golf competition on the WWE roster. "Training is going well. I am so devoted to doing well at the American Century Championship that I created my own YouTube channel, called MizGolf," said Miz, "where I am learning different tricks of the trade to get my swing dialed in for early July because I plan on winning. I want to win. I feel like I have the IQ to win. I'm just hoping that my swing is doing exactly what I want it to do on the day of the tournament." WWE is having two events in Los Angeles on Saturday, June 7th: 'Worlds Collide' at the Kia Forum and Money in the Bank at the Intuit Dome. Miz, a career grand slam champion with the company, made it clear without hesitation that he is the best golfer in WWE. "Me, I'm the only golfer in WWE. I think Jimmy Uso just started golfing, so you can't really put him in that category, but I think I'm really the only real golfer in WWE, as of right now." Although the Chiefs' loss in Super Bowl LIX was disappointing, according to the Miz, it was more about the Eagles players rallying around their head coach, Nick Sirianni, for motivation. "I think everyone was a little shocked, especially the way the Eagles (won); first, at the beginning of the season, people were asking for Sirianni's head, like they wanted him fired, and this guy goes on to win the Super Bowl," said Miz, "Think about that, the pressure your fanbase started to go against you. The news media outlets are talking negatively about you, and you can rally this team behind you and take them all the way to the Super Bowl. They developed an amazing team and a franchise. I'm hoping the (Cleveland) Browns can follow in their footsteps." The annual tournament awards $750,000 in prize money, much of which the celebrity players donate to local and national charities. Over the years, nearly $8 million has been donated to non-profit causes. Network television exposure on NBC, along with a first-place prize of $150,000, makes the celebrity tournament one of the most prestigious in the golf world.

Why Fans Think The Miz Is Leaving WWE?
Amid the recent departures of R-Truth and Carlito from WWE, fans have voiced their concerns about the Miz following suit and leaving the Stamford-based promotion. Additionally, the Miz, or Michael Gregory Mizanin, as is his original name, has only gone on to heighten these worries with his recent activities on social media. So, is the two-time WWE champion planning his exit from the professional wrestling organization? Here's everything you need to know regarding the ongoing rumors regarding Miz's proposed departure from WWE. Is the Miz, aka Michael Mizanin, leaving WWE? At the time of writing, neither the Miz nor WWE has issued any official statement regarding the 44-year-old wrestler leaving the company. Advertisement Theories regarding his exit began to make waves on the internet after the former IC Champion unfollowed WWE from his X (formerly Twitter) account. Moreover, he went as far as to delete every mention of the promotion from the bio of his X handle. Nevertheless, Fightful's seasoned wrestling reporter Sean Ross Sapp has come out to rebuke all claims of the Miz leaving the WWE. While replying to an X post that highlighted Michael Mizanin's peculiar social media activities, Sapp noted, 'A nothing story.' Another element in the story that has fans concerned is Mizanin's current contract with WWE. The wrestler/actor reportedly signed his latest extension with the company in 2019. While the exact date of expiry of his contract remains under wraps, the deal will not conclude until the end of 2025, at the very least, as per Wrestling Notícias. With R-Truth's departure from the WWE, which was announced on June 1, also coinciding with the expiration of his contract, fans are worried that the Miz might also be leaving the promotion in a similar fashion. Regardless, all theories regarding the Miz's exit from WWE remain mere speculations at the time of writing. More updates about his future with WWE should follow in the near future.

Gauteng residents calls for action after Lesufi calls for action on undocumented migrants
eNCA's viewers say they are not phased or moved by Gauteng Premier Panyaza Lesufi's new proclamation.

Responding eNCA's social media platforms, here is what South Africans had to say: X Panyaza must [stop] confusing us. We don't want to document illegal foreigners in our country. We don't want them. The issue is created by him and his ANC [in] the same way they give foreigners employment and tenders in our country's government @Miz_Ruralitarian Renewal talks @MadMan_Musa These people know the problems, but they deliberately don't do anything about them so they can use the problems to campaign every time there are elections @Siya_ZA Instagram The same should apply for formal settlement as well, check those expired hospital visas @black_breeze They are everywhere and in everything @zoe_zoecchiz So, what are you going to do about it? @tersia_hassbroek
