# 2 The Miz (8 reigns)
The Miz has won eight Intercontinental Championships but has a curious relationship with the belt.
Miz has had 8 reigns but his second and fourth title run only lasted one day.
However Miz is much more fondly remembered for his more recent IC runs.
In 2016, Miz reigned as Champion for 188 days, after defeating Zack Ryder, one day after he won the title at Wrestlemania 32. Miz held onto the strap until he finally came up short to Dolph Ziggler with Ziggler's career on the line.
The Miz also memorably defeated Dean Ambrose for the gold on at Extreme Rules 2017 before he dropped the belt to Ambrose's Shield stablemate, Roman Reigns in a heated Raw match on November 20, 2017. Miz would regain the title on the 25th-anniversary edition of Raw in January 2018 before he dropped it to another Shield member, Seth Rollins in one of the best matches at Wrestlemania 34.
Don't count against Miz winning more IC titles in future.
