In my opinion, The Miz is one of the most underrated champions of the last decade. The problem he's had all throughout his career is the inability to get over with the fans. There's a large number of folks who have never been able to see him as anything other than a reality television star. However, ever since he arrived, the guy has worked tirelessly and has taken advantage of every opportunity thrown his way.

The bottom line is that The Miz is a great champion, with a poor perception from the WWE Universe.
With that being said, if the company wants to truly begin the process of elevating the status of the Intercontinental Title, as well as give the Smackdown brand a viable champion, there's only one outcome that makes sense here.
Winner: DOLPH ZIGGLER (Becomes new IC champ)

About the author

Jonathan Carpenter is a pro wrestling journalist at Sportskeeda. After obtaining a degree in political science from the University of Arkansas at Little Rock, he started writing WWE articles in 2016. Jonathan believes integrity is vital in journalism and ensures his work is high on accuracy. He conducts in-depth research and verifies information from various sources before curating a feature.
Jonathan has engaged in many meaningful conversations with prominent pro wrestling personalities like Drew McIntyre and DDP. He grew up in Memphis, admiring Hall of Famer Hulk Hogan during WWE’s Golden Era in the ‘80s. He has attended many pro wrestling events and credits The Hulkster for making his childhood memorable.
Jonathan, a big fan of Bray Wyatt, would like to see the latter's brother, Bo Dallas, continue his legacy as Uncle Howdy. If he were to work on the storyline, Jonathan would book the return of Erick Rowan as Howdy’s muscle. He thinks it would be a great way to honor the former Universal Champion.
When not writing pro wrestling features, Jonathan likes to collect sports memorabilia and has amassed a large collection of event-used and autographed relics over the years.
