Miz expected back in WWE soon as American Gladiators wraps filming

The Miz is expected back in WWE shortly.

The 44-year-old was cast as the host of the new American Gladiators reboot for Amazon Prime and has been gone from WWE programming since May. Our own Bryan Alvarez reports that they’ve wrapped filming on two seasons of the show and Miz’s WWE return should take place soon.

“Gladiators has finished up filming two seasons, it’ll debut later this year. Miz should be back soon,” Alvarez posted to his subscribers on X.

Prior to his WWE absence, Miz had been in a program with Aleister Black. His last match took place on the May 2 edition of WWE SmackDown, where he was defeated by Black in a match that went just under 10 minutes.

Last month, the Hollywood Reporter reported that several other names associated with the wrestling industry are attached to the new American Gladiators. According to the report, Wardlow, Kamille, Eric Bugenhagen (fka Rick Boogs), Jessica Roden, and Jessie Godderz comprise five of the 16 Gladiator roles for the reboot.
