The Career Of The Miz

As previously stated, The Miz debuted in 2006 when he faced Tatanka. The early parts of his career are well documented as he wasn't well received by his fellow superstars. The reason for this is that he came for a reality television background. There is a famous story that he wasn't allowed to change in the toilets because people didn't want him in the locker room. The Miz has won many titles, including two runs with the top belt. However, he is more well-known for his work with the Intercontinental Championship, where he feuded with Dolph Ziggler. He has held the prestigious title eight times and has been dubbed by many as one of the greatest intercontinental champions ever. The highlight of his career was main eventing WrestleMania 27 alongside John Cena, which shows that he was considered a top talent in the company at one point.
What Makes Him Unique
The Miz has mastered his role in WWE. Even though he is a solid in-ring worker, his character work is when he is at his best. He has played both a heel and a Babyface throughout his career. Yet, in the heel role is when he shined the brightest. The Miz also has an incredible ability to express emotion on the microphone and make an audience feel sympathy for him even though he is a bad guy. The Miz showed this ability in his war of words with LA Knight on a episode of Raw. These skills have helped him become the only two-time grand slam champion in WWE history.
The Future

When it comes to The Miz, the future is bright. The WWE veteran is not just a tag team specialist, but also a formidable singles competitor. As he gears up to potentially capture the tag team titles with R-Truth at Wrestlemania 40, the audience can't help but anticipate his future challenges for other titles. The Miz's potential to be a singles champion is a beacon of hope for his fans, and it will be intriguing to see what WWE has in store for this legend of professional wrestling.
