#3 The Miz (Will Not Benefit):

The Miz had a tremendous 2018. He opened the year by defeating Roman Reigns on Raw 25 to capture the Intercontinental Championship. He was then drafted to Smackdown Live in April and eventually re-ignited his much-awaited feud against Daniel Bryan. Although the feud didn't do justice to the hype, The Miz carried it like a true Superstar.

He was then involved in a story-line with Shane McMahon, which saw him getting brutally attacked by Smackdown Live's Commissioner. This led to The Miz turning face for the first time in nearly 6 years.

The two were set to collide at Wrestlemania 35. All signs were pointing towards The Miz going over Shane McMahon and eventually becoming Smackdown Live's top babyface later this year. However, McMahon ended up scoring the win and The Miz was drafted to Raw 8 days later. The possible reason behind the move is to help in boosting the ratings of the current season of Miz and Mrs.

The Miz ended up losing to Baron Corbin in his return match on Raw this week (the match also involved Drew McIntyre). As crowded Raw is right now, it looks like The Miz will get lost in the shuffle once the current season of his reality TV show ends.
