#9 The Miz
It's mind-boggling to think that The Miz, a man who was resented by fans and despised by the locker room in the mid-2000s, actually main-evented a WrestleMania and beat the company's top star, John Cena. But it happened.
Up until his singles push, Miz had been a Tough Enough contestant, the 'host' of SmackDown and a member of an entertaining tag team with John Morrison. Miz split from Morrison and started showing great improvement as a character and wrestler in 2010. This lead to him winning the Raw Money in the Bank ladder match, signalling to fans that WWE were ready to push him.
Miz successfully cashed in his briefcase and eventually lost the title to Cena at Extreme Rules in 2011. He moved rapidly down the card. Miz's time was over. He never again looked as though he would break out as a main event player ever again. Fans wonder when he will drop the IC and to whom.
