The Miz has taken to social media to call out Indiana Pacers All-Star Tyrese Haliburton, accusing the NBA player of “stealing my gimmick” and demanding a match. The issue came about after Haliburton was seen making a gesture indicating he had giant balls during a recent basketball game.
On X, The Miz shared an image of Haliburton making the gesture, captioning it with a direct challenge: “stealing my gimmick. In my city.” He then demanded that a match between himself and the Pacers guard be booked.
The gimmick The Miz refers to is a running joke on WWE television concerning the size of his balls. This stemmed from comments made by his wife, Maryse, in June 2022, who initially declared her husband had “average balls” before later playfully retracting it to claim he possessed “gigantic balls…massive balls…huge balls….biggest balls in the world.” The Miz has since leaned into this aspect of his persona.
Haliburton is no stranger to the WWE environment, having made guest appearances on both main roster programming and WWE NXT.
Stealing my gimmic.
In my city.
Haliburton vs The Miz book it! https://t.co/yCNSYipanu— The Miz (@mikethemiz) May 7, 2025
I don’t like the Miz and we all know that he’s got tiny balls so he should stop acting like they’re big 😒 #SurvivorSeries
