Top SmackDown Backstage Rumors: Details on members of Roman Reigns' new heel faction; Major Superstar to likely never become World Champion again; WWE cancels big plans for The Fiend (10th October)

#4 Why former SmackDown Superstar The Miz may never become WWE Champion again

The Miz has become one of the most consistent and reliable WWE Superstars over the years. The former SmackDown Superstar is an eight-time IC Champion and has also held the WWE Championship once. However, his World title win came almost 10 years ago.

It is surprising that The Miz was never given the top title again after his first run proved to be underwhelming. Not only has The Miz improved over the years but has cemented his place as one of the best talkers on SmackDown.

While speaking on his podcast, Jim Ross revealed why Vince McMahon may never make The Miz a WWE Champion again.

“You never say never in WWE because they do strange booking and they come out of left field from time to time which is not unusual for any booker or any creative group. I don’t know that he will be the WWE Champion again. Would it surprise me? No, but I would kind of doubt it. He’s one of those guys like Jake Roberts used to be. He didn’t need the title to be over. As long as the Miz is able to communicate in whatever form that may take, he will be a top guy.” (H/T WrestlingNews)
