Stranger things have happened. The Miz is a well-respected performer in WWE and worked very hard to get where he is today. As a babyface, it makes him a perfect foil for the new WWE Champion. Brock Lesnar was handed everything from the start, because of his looks, because of who he had in his corner (Paul Heyman), and because he was a product of what many call the best class of WWE developmental history (Randy Orton, John Cena, Batista, Brock Lesnar).

The Miz had to work extraordinarily hard to get to where he is today. He was treated as a joke at the beginning of his WWE career, and it took him a long time to shake off and breakthrough. He won Money in the Bank and even defeated John Cena in the main event of WrestleMania 27. He was still thought of as a fluke even after a multi-month reign as WWE Champion, and very few people took him seriously.

Years later, The Miz is one of the most respected members of the roster, and he was drafted to FOX's SmackDown roster because the network thinks of him as a big star. His confidence has never been higher, and the crowd is behind them. Could that be enough to propel him to defeat 'The Beast Incarnate'?
