The Miz has gone from annoying to undeniable

With eight title wins in seven years, The Miz is synonymous with the Intercontinental Championship. No other WWE superstar has had such a symbiotic relationship with a mid-card title like the Miz - he has used the belt to elevate himself while lending credibility to the Championship as well.

It was never more evident than during his run with the belt in 2017. With the World Champion Brock Lesnar making infrequent appearances, it was left to the IC Champion to carry the main event feud on Raw. With a deeply engrossing feud against The Shield, Miz carried the company on his back and showed just how valuable he could be, resulting in fans demanding a WWE title opportunity for the once detested star.

Miz has taken the IC title off both Roman Reigns and Dean Ambrose and his feud with Dolph Ziggler over the years has been one of the defining mid-card angles of the decade. Miz has also been positioned as the heel to crush the dreams of popular babyfaces, ending the title reigns of both Christian and Zack Ryder in the past.

With him just one short of Chris Jericho's record 9 Intercontinental title reigns, don't bet against The Miz to surpass 'Le Champion' in the near future.
