#3 The Miz - May not wrestle in WWE in 2021

The Miz at WrestleMania Backlash

The Miz has had an eventful year in WWE so far, from winning the WWE Championship to being part of a highly-acclaimed WrestleMania match to being "devoured" by zombies on live television.

The two-time WWE Champion reportedly suffered an injury in the match that featured zombies at WrestleMania Backlash, which could keep him out of action for a while.

Dave Meltzer of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter has revealed that The Miz has suffered an anterior cruciate ligament injury, a serious injury that could keep him out for as long as nine months:

"He tore his anterior cruciate ligament, but we don't know what the severity of the tear is. Last time I heard something it was about a partial tear so it might not be that serious. If it's a complete tear, you know, it needs an operation and probably, 7, 8 or 9 months out. At 40, that's not the best thing in the world. He'll come out of this, I'm sure, but it's going to take a long time, in which he'll stay out." (H/T Wrestling-World)
