#3 The Miz
Ten years removed from his WWE debut, it's amazing to think how The Miz is now more relevant and compelling than he has ever been before, even more so than during his WWE Championship run six years ago.
His career resurgence began when he won the Intercontinental Championship for a fifth time by beating Zack Ryder the night after WrestleMania 32. He reunited with his real-life wife Maryse, and pairing those two together on TV was the best thing that could have happened to The Awesome One.
He then embarked on a lengthy reign as Intercontinental champion, that saw him knock off all-comers and contest a series of stellar matches with the likes of Dolph Ziggler, Cesaro and Sami Zayn. His Talking Smack promo in August solidified him as one of SmackDown Live's top-tier talents, and his feud with Daniel Bryan has been a blast to watch as well.
