The Miz
The Miz is one of the top WWE Superstars on Monday Night RAW. However, he recently suffered a major setback. During his zombie lumberjack match against Damian Priest at WrestleMania Backlash, The Miz tore his ACL.
The former WWE Champion recently criticized reports that suggested he would be out of action for nine months:
"I’ve never said anything and they’re saying things wrong, like all wrong. And it’s annoying, I guess you can say, because I heard I was out nine months. I don’t expect to be out nine months," The Miz told Forbes.

The Miz continues to appear on Monday Night RAW despite his injury. He accompanies John Morrison to the ring in a wheelchair. Nonetheless, it is not yet clear when he will return to in-ring competition:
"When will I have a real match? I don’t know. That’s for the doctors to decide and figure out. But I feel like a million bucks, and the way my headspace is, I don’t like to be gone for long," The Miz said.
This year has seen some ups and downs for The Miz. His highest point came when he cashed in his Money in the Bank contract on Drew McIntyre to capture the WWE Championship at Elimination Chamber.
