#1 The Miz
Trending
Aside from AJ Styles, no one had a better 2016 than The Miz, who successfully rejuvenated his career after winning his fifth Intercontinental Championship the night after WrestleMania 32. From there, he embarked on a lengthy reign as Champion and has contested classics with the likes of Cesaro, Dolph Ziggler and Dean Ambrose.
On the premiere edition of SmackDown Live in 2017, Ambrose beat Miz to capture the Intercontinental title. Of course, their rivalry is likely not yet over, but this would be the best time to transition Miz back into a main event role for the first time in over five years.
Miz and Styles have occasionally crossed paths over the past few months, and a WWE Championship clash between them, while John Cena and The Undertaker face off in a non-title affair, would be a marquee match for WrestleMania.
Simply put, Miz deserves to be prominently featured at this year's Show of Shows, and having him win the Rumble would instantly make him a top contender on SmackDown Live.
