The Miz
For the majority of his career, WWE Superstar The Miz remained in the mid-card. His moment to shine came in 2010-11, when he cashed in his Money In The Bank contract on an episode of RAW to win his first and only WWE title. In November 2010, Randy Orton had defeated Wade Barrett on an episode of RAW to retain his WWE title. The Viper's night didn't come to an end at that point, as The Miz was lurking backstage and seized the opportunity when Orton had retained his belt and was too exhausted to compete again.
The Miz quickly pinned Orton to win the WWE Championship. On the road to WrestleMania 27, The Miz feuded with John Cena, with The Rock involved in the mix as well. At the event. The Miz successfully defended his title against Cena in the main event of the show, albeit with some help from The Rock. At the Extreme Rules show, John Cena would win the WWE title in a Triple Threat match that also involved John Morrison. The Miz has won the Intercontinental title on 8 occasions, and several other belts as well, but hasn't won another WWE title since his infamous cash-in on Orton.

Given the opportunity to script WWE’s next big storyline, Abhilash would treat fans to the second installment of The Bloodline Civil War. He would book Roman Reigns to re-form The Bloodline with The Usos and Sami Zayn upon his comeback. The angle would see The Tribal Chief-led group go head-to-head with The Rock, Solo Sikoa, Tama Tonga, and Jacob Fatu in a blockbuster family feud.
