The Miztourage was a heel professional wrestling stable in World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) consisting of The Miz, Curtis Axel, Bo Dallas, and their valet Maryse.
History[]
In late April 2017, The Miz started a feud with WWE Intercontinental Champion Dean Ambrose. At Extreme Rules, Miz defeated Dean Ambrose to win his seventh WWE Intercontinental Championship. On the June 5 episode of Raw, during a in ring celebration segment sponsored by Maryse, Miz attacked and destroyed Maryse's gift, a grandfather clock, which Miz thought to be Ambrose within the present. On the June 19 episode of Raw, Maryse was the special guest on Miz TV where Miz apologized for the previous events, but came to use her as a shield to protect himself from Ambrose, causing Maryse to pour champagne on herself and then destroying the grandfather clock that he had restored, which led to Maryse abandoning him again. Afterwards, Miz approached Curtis Axel and Bo Dallas, offering to make them "the stars [they] deserve to be" if they become his "entourage".
Later that night, the duo appeared in bear costumes during an in ring segment between Miz and Maryse, where they came to reveal themselves and aligned with Miz by attacking Dean Ambrose. On the June 26 episode of Raw, Miz and "The Miztourage" fought against Ambrose, Heath Slater and Rhyno, in a Six Man Tag Team Match which they won. On the July 3 episode of Raw, after an argument with Raw General Manager Kurt Angle, Angle announced that Miz would make two defenses of the WWE Intercontinental Championship; one of them would take place that night against Heath Slater and another on July 9 at the Great Balls of Fire pay-per-view against Dean Ambrose. Miz subsequently defended his championship against Slater. At Great Balls of Fire, Miz defeated Ambrose to retain the championship due to interference from the Miztourage. On the SummerSlam kickoff show, Miz and The Miztourage defeated Jason Jordan and The Hardy Boyz (Jeff Hardy and Matt Hardy) in a Six Man Tag Team Match.
On the April 16, 2018 edition of WWE Raw it was announced that The Miz would be returning to WWE Smackdown without The Miztourage.
