The Miz, who gained national fame as a WWE superstar, will be hosting a new season of American Gladiators, and in a notable crossover, the show’s cast will include AEW stars. The reboot brings together names from across pro wrestling, featuring both former WWE talent and athletes from other organizations, further spotlighting The Miz hosting American Gladiators with AEW stars.
The Miz to Headline American Gladiators Reboot
Since entering WWE in 2004, Mike Mizanin, better known by wrestling fans as The Miz, has won acclaim not just in the ring, but also for his appearances in films and on reality TV. Now, The Miz is returning to television in a different role as the new host of American Gladiators, signaling a fresh era for the popular competition series. His involvement promises to bring both familiar energy and a broad audience reach to the show.
Pro Wrestlers Join the Revamped Gladiators Cast
In an exciting development for wrestling fans, All Elite Wrestling stars Wardlow and Kamille have joined the cast of the American Gladiators reboot, according to a Hollywood Reporter update. Wardlow and Kamille, both of whom have been absent from AEW television, are bringing their athletic backgrounds to the show. Joining them is former WWE 24/7 champion Rick Boogs, adding additional wrestling pedigree to the lineup.
The roster for the 16-person Gladiators team will also feature OVW’s Jessie Godderz and J-Rod, further cementing professional wrestling’s influence on the upcoming series. This blend of famed competitors aims to inject excitement and diversity into the rebooted show.
Broadcast Team and Awaited Production Details
Chris Rose will narrate the action as the lead play-by-play voice, while Rocsi Diaz, formerly of BET 106 & Park, joins as the sideline reporter. While fans are eager for the show’s launch, the filming schedule for American Gladiators has not yet been announced. Updates on the production timeline will be shared as more information becomes available.
Status of AEW’s Wardlow and Kamille
There has been speculation about Wardlow’s absence from AEW. A recent report indicates that Wardlow faced an injury and was also involved in a serious car accident. Though cleared to return to competition, he secured a role on television, prompting a decision to keep him away from AEW programming at this time.
Kamille, for her part, disappeared from wrestling television after ending her on-air partnership with Mercedes Mone. She last competed in a match in October, and there have been no confirmations regarding her return to in-ring action. Their transitions to the American Gladiators reboot seem to represent new opportunities outside their usual wrestling personas.
Looking Ahead at the American Gladiators Revival
The convergence of wrestling stars from multiple major promotions on the American Gladiators stage demonstrates the show’s broad appeal and evolving identity. With The Miz at the helm, and a roster including names like Wardlow, Kamille, Jessie Godderz, J-Rod, and Rick Boogs, the series hopes to attract both nostalgic fans of the original and new audiences curious about sports entertainment crossovers. Additional information on premiere dates and further casting updates is expected to arrive in the coming weeks.
