The Miz
There is one man under the entire WWE banner who continues to get looked over as the absolute most underrated champion in decades. That man is The Miz. He's main-evented Wrestlemania and held every single title available. Yet he still doesn't get the adequate respect he deserves.
With that said, his win at Backlash was clouded by the assist from Maryse on the finish. However, that's simply what I call a good heel finish. We often forget the old days when Ric Flair would retain titles by using whatever foreign object he had tucked into his trunks. There was a time when these type of finishes were the norm. Regardless, The Miz will always struggle with getting appreciation from the WWE Universe.
As The Miz continues on this current reign, his focus should simply be more of the same. One thing is certain, the rift between him and Daniel Bryan needs to continue. If there's my sort of hope or possibility whatsoever that Bryan could potentially return one day, that match needs to happen, possibly on a larger stage, maybe even Wrestlemania. Until then, The Miz should continue to be the Intercontinental champion, at least until someone worthy comes along.
