#1 The Miz turns face in 2012
The Miz is sitting on Smackdown Live as one of the top heels in the WWE. In the past few years, the Awesome One has really elevated his game and has become one of the best superstars on the microphone. Fans love to boo the former Intercontinental Champion, and with his natural arrogance and smug face, it's crazy to think that someone would ever want to turn the Miz into a good guy.
It's crazy, but it did happen. In, what some consider to be one of the worst face turns of all time, The Miz switched sides on Monday Night Raw, joining Mick Foley's Survivor Series team just in time for the pay per view, a team that included Kofi Kingston, Randy Orton, Kane, and his longtime rival Daniel Bryan. In fact, three out of his four teammates were people that The Miz had screwed over in recent memory.
Charlotte Flair to return and wrestle a CURRENT CHAMPION?
In fact, The Miz had JUST come off a feud with Kofi Kingston over the Intercontinental Championship two weeks before joining Foley's team!
The turn wasn't received favourably by anyone, and would only get more heat as the WWE forced The Miz to become the next Ric Flair when the Nature Boy "gave" the Figure-Four Leglock to the A-Lister. This came after The Miz confronted United States Champion Cesaro for insulting America, an old classic storyline that has only gotten worse with age.
Sadly, The Miz would stay as a "fan favorite" for the rest of 2013 and deep into 2014 until finally returning to his glory as the villainous and cowardly heel we know and love to hate.
