#2 The Miz
Back in 2010, when The Miz won the WWE Championship, the fans weren’t exactly thrilled about a relatively green performer winning the richest prize in the business. The Miz went on to defeat John Cena at WrestleMania, successfully defending his title in the process.
The company saw something in The A-Lister back then that the fans didn’t, and years later, The Miz is now proving why he deserves to be a major star in the company.
It took Miz a few years to redefine and reinvigorate his character, and while he was complacent for a few years after his run at the top, he is now one of the most consistent performers in the organization.
The Intercontinental Champion is set to defend his title against Balor and Rollins at WrestleMania, and one would imagine that The Miz will be inserted into the main event scene sometime this year.
