The Miz has addressed the lengthy losing streak that became one of the more unusual statistical stories of his WWE career, acknowledging that he was not actively tracking it while it was happening.
The veteran said his run of defeats stretched to 45 matches from August 26, 2025 through October 23, 2026. The streak finally ended on the October 23 edition of Main Event, but Miz was quick to point out an important distinction about that victory: he was not the wrestler who secured the deciding fall.
In comments made during an interview with Z100 New York, Miz said he only became aware of the streak after seeing fans discussing it online. Rather than keeping a running total of wins and losses over the course of months, he explained that his focus remained on the most recent match in front of him.
“I think it’s the longest losing streak that anyone in WWE history has ever been a part of. Without even knowing, right? I didn’t keep track of it until someone online was like, ‘Hey, does anyone know that The Miz hasn’t won a match in like two years?’ I was like, wait a second, is that real? Is that true? I’m going through it every week. I have a match and then it skips my mind. You’re only as good as your last match, so I’m always thinking about the last match, right? I’m not thinking about the entire year, how I’ve been doing.”

That perspective is notable coming from a performer with Miz’s history. His WWE career has included championship reigns, major event appearances and a WrestleMania main event. A prolonged run without a victory therefore presents a very different kind of chapter from the accomplishments commonly associated with his resume.
Still, Miz framed the situation less as an ongoing ledger and more as the natural week-to-week mentality of a wrestler. In that mindset, the result that happened most recently matters more than a record accumulated across a calendar year or longer. His comments suggest that the public conversation around the number became much more pronounced after fans began compiling the results themselves.
The October 23 Result Ended One Streak, But Not Every Question
The October 23 Main Event match gave Miz a win on paper, ending the 45-match run. However, Kit Wilson scored the winning fall for the side, leaving Miz without the personal pinfall that many fans would associate with a more definitive turnaround.
“I didn’t even pin the guy, by the way. My tag team partner did. So, I won by not even pinning a guy.”
It is a humorous detail, but it also explains why the discussion around Miz’s struggles may continue despite the official end of the broader losing streak. Tag team victories and singles victories do not carry the same meaning when evaluating an individual wrestler’s momentum. A win can change the line in the record book, yet a wrestler who did not make the cover still has a clear reason to seek another opportunity.
Miz himself made that distinction. While he can point to the October 23 result as the end of his overall losing run, he remains focused on earning a victory in singles competition and getting the fall himself.
“I still need a solo win, I still need to pin a guy. I guess that’s still going if you’re really keeping track.”
That singles drought reaches back considerably further. Miz has not won a singles match since February 2024. The October 23 tag result may have brought an end to the 45-match stretch referenced by Miz, but it did not provide the one-on-one breakthrough he says he still wants.
Why the Difference Matters for The Miz
Professional wrestling records can be interpreted in several ways, particularly when singles, tag team and multi-person matches are all part of a performer’s schedule. A team win belongs to every member of the winning side, but the wrestler who earns the pinfall or submission usually receives the most immediate boost in the eyes of viewers. That is especially true for an established star attempting to reverse a long stretch of defeats.
For Miz, the distinction is straightforward. He has technically returned to the win column, but he has not personally pinned an opponent in the match that ended the wider skid. His own comments make clear that he does not view the October 23 outcome as the final answer to the conversation.
A singles win would be a cleaner marker. It would end the drought dating to February 2024, give Miz the individual result he says he needs, and remove the qualifier surrounding the October 23 victory. Until then, the discussion will likely continue to center on the difference between a team result and a win earned directly by Miz.
There is also an unusual contrast in the way the streak developed. Miz said he had not been consciously monitoring it. Fans, meanwhile, had begun treating the sequence as a notable statistic. That gap speaks to the different ways wrestlers and audiences engage with results. Fans can look back across an extended period and identify patterns. Performers have to prepare for the next assignment, then move on to whatever comes after it.
“You’re only as good as your last match” is a familiar competitive idea, but Miz used it to explain why the larger record did not occupy his attention. The point was not that the losses were meaningless. Rather, he described a process in which each match is followed by the next obligation, making it easy for a longer sequence to fade into the background until somebody calls attention to it.
A Veteran Still Looking Forward
Beyond the discussion of wins and losses, Miz also said he continues to feel good at 46 years old. That statement adds useful context to his response. The story is not simply about a veteran looking back at a difficult statistical stretch; it is also about a wrestler who believes he remains capable of changing the direction of that stretch.
Age is often part of the conversation whenever a longtime WWE performer hits a rough period, but Miz’s comments did not present the losing run as evidence that he is ready to step away. Instead, he identified a concrete next target: a solo victory and a pinfall he can claim as his own.
That is a focused objective, and it is one that can be understood without overstating what a single result would mean. A singles win would not erase the losses that came before it. It would, however, end a drought that has lasted since February 2024 and give Miz a clear moment to build upon.
His remarks also showed a willingness to laugh at the circumstances. The line about ending a streak without pinning anyone captures the oddity of the situation while keeping the emphasis on what remains unfinished. Miz can acknowledge that the 45-match losing streak has concluded and still insist that there is more work to do.
The Next Milestone Is Clear
The October 23 Main Event result changed the immediate headline around Miz’s record. He is no longer carrying the same 45-match losing streak that ran from August 2025 into October 2026. But the story has shifted rather than completely disappeared.
The next benchmark is now plainly defined: Miz wants a singles win, and he wants to be the wrestler who scores the pinfall. Until that happens, the February 2024 date remains central to any discussion of his individual record.
For a performer who said he was unaware of the full scope of the streak until it was raised online, the attention surrounding the next singles match may be impossible to avoid. Every opportunity now carries an obvious question: will it be the night Miz finally secures the individual victory he says he is still chasing?
For now, he has one technical win, an ended overall skid and an unfinished personal goal. In Miz’s own view, the important part is simple. The losing streak may be over, but he still needs to pin somebody.
