From an emcee at WWE Diva Search to one of the most highly decorated superstars of the pro wrestling community, The Miz has undoubtedly come a long way.
The Miz's manipulative actions and barbs made him one of the greatest heels of the modern era. Having said that, the fans have appreciated his work, often cheering him as well.
For most of the time, Vince McMahon's promotion has depicted Miz as an irksome mid-card superstar. However, his accomplishments speak for him and are enough to induct the former WWE Champion into the Hall of Fame.
New Champs in WWE! More RIGHT HERE
In the article, we will look back into the past and discuss five impressive achievements of The Miz in WWE.
#5. The Miz is a two-time double tag team champion
Not many superstars in history have had enough victories to be called double champions. But not only has Miz been a double champion, but he has done it twice in his career.
During the historic 224 days of United States Championship reign, he started pairing with The Big Show. The duo faced off against D-Generation X (Unified WWE Tag Team Champions) and The Straight-Edge Society (CM Punk and Luke Gallows) on the February 8 episode of RAW.
The stakes were raised as the titles were on the line. Miz roll-up pinned Shawn Michaels to win. Sho-Miz held the title for 77 days and lost it to The Hart Dynasty.
It wouldn't be wrong to say the following year belonged to The Miz as well. The Awesome One participated in his most high-profile feud in 2011 against John Cena.
Miz was the reigning WWE Champion at the time and teamed up alongside his rival Cena for the Tag Team titles. On the February 28 episode of RAW, they defeated The Corre (Justin Gabriel and Heath Slater) for the titles.
However, this reign lasted mere minutes. Wade Barrett, the leader of Corre, utilized the rematch clause right then. Cena and Miz were about to retain their titles until the latter betrayed The Leader of Cenation and left the match.
Nonetheless, this feat added up a feather in the cap for The Awesome Superstar.
#4. The Miz has headlined WrestleMania
The Miz is one of those superstars who have participated in the main event at WrestleMania. WWE spends months building up to their grand event. Thus it is reasonably a big deal for a superstar to headline the grandest stage of them all.
Not only did The Miz fight against John Cena at WrestleMania XXVII, but he also won it. Initially, their brawl ended in a double count-out, and The A-Lister retained his title.
The show's host was The Rock, and he didn't want the event to end like that. Thus, he restarted the match with an added stipulation of pinfall and submissions only.
However, The People's Champ interfered and performed a Rock Bottom on Cena, which helped Miz win the match.
#3. The Miz has had numerous records with the Intercontinental Championship
If there's a single title that defines Miz, it is the Intercontinental Championship. He has won the belt eight times, bested only by Chris Jericho, who has nine reigns.
Moreover, he has held the title for 592 days which is the second-best in the industry after Pedro Morales, who has accumulated 617 days as the champion.
Thanks to his promos and in-ring performances, he restored the title's lost glory to some extent. He can still win the Intercontinental title and add up his name to the top of these lists.
#2. The Miz has won the Money in the Bank briefcase twice
The Miz has won the Money in the Bank briefcase twice in his career, a feat only matched by Edge and CM Punk. He did so with a gap of 10 years, which is the most by any.
The first time he won the briefcase was in the eponymous ladder match in 2010. He cashed in on Randy Orton and won the WWE Championship, which started his golden run in Vince McMahon's promotion.
Ten years later, he challenged Otis' claim to the briefcase in JBL's court. Though Otis won it in the ladder match, he lost the case and had to defend his possession against The former WWE Champion.
The eight-time Intercontinental Champion won the title of Mr. Money in the Bank in their match. He eventually cashed in for the victory for another WWE title reign.
#1. The Miz is the only Double Grand Slam Champion in WWE
A superstar has to win The Intercontinental Championship, the United States Championship, the Tag Titles, and either WWE or the Universal Championship to be titled the Grand Slam Champion.
The task sounds rigorous. However, an even more difficult task is to be a double Grand Slam Champion. The Miz is the only superstar to win every aforementioned title at least twice in his career.
With his most recent WWE Championship victory at Elimination Chamber 2021, The A-Lister became the first-ever double grand slam champion. He is indeed a future Hall of Famer with so many unique accomplishments.
