#6 The Reality Era (2014-2016) - The Miz
This era was a relatively shorter one for the WWE but was one that fans look back at with fondness. From Daniel Bryan's triumph at WrestleMania 30 to the ending of The Streak and the first-ever Money in the Bank cash-in at WrestleMania, this era was yet another golden period in the history of wrestling. The mid-card became more relevant than ever, with the first-ever Tag Team Elimination Chamber match, the New Day boosting the tag team division and the involvement of Rusev and John Cena making the United States title picture more relevant than ever.

It was during this era that The Miz started excelling in his role as a super heel, with his exceptional mic skills working in favor of the title's prestige. Rivalries with stars like Christian, Dolph Ziggler, Rey Mysterio, and Chris Jericho made the title relevant again and set the standard for the title in the era that followed.
