Darren Young is red hot right now. What started as something that could've easily been an ultimate failure, Backlund and Young made work beautifully. I can remember seeing those silly video packages about "making Darren Young great again," and rolling my eyes at the ridiculousness.
Now the jokes on me.
When it comes to title holders of the last decade, The Miz has undoubtedly been one of the most underrated champions we've seen. The guy is a complete work horse and loves wrestling more than anyone on the roster.

He’s just never really been taken too seriously by the fans.
So, when you look at the state of the Intercontinental Championship right now, is the title better off now than it was in previous years? Is The Miz a better fit than the challenger?
PREDICTED WINNER: DARREN YOUNG

Jonathan Carpenter is a pro wrestling journalist at Sportskeeda. After obtaining a degree in political science from the University of Arkansas at Little Rock, he started writing WWE articles in 2016. Jonathan believes integrity is vital in journalism and ensures his work is high on accuracy. He conducts in-depth research and verifies information from various sources before curating a feature.
Jonathan has engaged in many meaningful conversations with prominent pro wrestling personalities like Drew McIntyre and DDP. He grew up in Memphis, admiring Hall of Famer Hulk Hogan during WWE’s Golden Era in the ‘80s. He has attended many pro wrestling events and credits The Hulkster for making his childhood memorable.
Jonathan, a big fan of Bray Wyatt, would like to see the latter's brother, Bo Dallas, continue his legacy as Uncle Howdy. If he were to work on the storyline, Jonathan would book the return of Erick Rowan as Howdy’s muscle. He thinks it would be a great way to honor the former Universal Champion.
When not writing pro wrestling features, Jonathan likes to collect sports memorabilia and has amassed a large collection of event-used and autographed relics over the years.
