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.

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.
