#4 The Miz (CM Punk targeted)

Former WWE Champion The Miz was a guest on WWE Backstage back in January. Nothing much of note happened throughout the episode, but The Miz took a slight jibe at CM Punk as the show was about to come to a close. He stated that it was the best WWE Backstage episode ever, and added that he's sorry he didn't "change the culture". This was a reference to the comment Punk made during his surprising first appearance on the show back in November.

" I feel like this was the best WWE Backstage ever. Name one that was better. Sorry, sorry I didn't change the culture, my bad, my bad."

Punk took major offense to the comment and posted a profanity-filled tweet bashing The Miz and WWE. The former WWE Superstar dubbed him as a 'dork', and also took a shot at WWE's partnership with Saudi Arabia. Punk ended up deleting the tweet soon after. Many fans weren't happy with Punk's over the top reaction and accused him of being salty that he never headlined a WrestleMania while The Miz did.

Given the opportunity to script WWE’s next big storyline, Abhilash would treat fans to the second installment of The Bloodline Civil War. He would book Roman Reigns to re-form The Bloodline with The Usos and Sami Zayn upon his comeback. The angle would see The Tribal Chief-led group go head-to-head with The Rock, Solo Sikoa, Tama Tonga, and Jacob Fatu in a blockbuster family feud.
