Carmelo Hayes says The Miz is a "necessary" person to have around and helped him get through a low point in his WWE career:"He’s necessary, if that makes sense. He’s a necessary person to have around. "I remember at one point, despite whatever we have on storyline wise, I just said, ‘Thank you bro for being here, I’m so happy you’re here.’ I just had to tell him that, I was like, ‘I’m just so happy I’m here and you’re here at the same time and I’m getting to learn from you.’ "Because there’s a lot of times where I was feeling low. Like I don’t know what’s going on and the only person that’s been able to explain it to me has been The Miz, because he’s been high, he’s been low, he’s been in the middle. He’s done it so many times. "He gave me a great quote, some advice, he said, ‘When you’re at the top it’s gonna be easy because you figured out how to manage at the bottom.’ I was like ‘Dang, that’s so true.’ He was like 'Yeah just wait, everybody gets a turn.' In a way, not everybody gets their turn but when you’re good you’re gonna get chosen at some point right?"
