Mike “The Miz” Mizanin first taste of the limelight came in the form of the 2001 season of MTV’s The Real World. His reality TV background was both a blessing and a curse when he broke through to the WWE in 2004. Being a cast member of The Real World got him noticed, but it also caused many of his peers and many of the WWE fans to not take him seriously.
After spending his first few years at the bottom of the card, The Miz moved from SmackDown to ECW and really developed into the star we know today. He formed a tag team with John Morrison, quickly ascending to the top of the WWE tag team division, capturing both the WWE and World Tag Team Championships.
The Miz found his greatest success on his own. After betraying his tag team partner, he quickly rose through the ranks of his new home Monday Night Raw. After about a year as WWE United States Champion, The Miz graduated to the main event when he defeated Randy Orton for the WWE World Championship on November 22, 2010.

After The Miz’s fall from the world title scene, he’s stood out over the years as one of the best WWE Intercontinental Champions of all time. He’s a 7-time IC Champion, having classic title defenses against the likes of Dolph Ziggler, Wade Barrett, Dean Ambrose, Roman Reigns, and more. Miz has held the Intercontinental Championship a combined total of 524 days across all eight title reigns.

The self-described “Hollywood A-Lister” The Miz spent time away from the ring following his loss to Roman Reigns. While away from the squared circle, The Miz once again starred in a WWE-produced film. The Marine 6: Close Quarters is set to be released sometime in 2018.
The Miz returned to the ring on the 25th anniversary show of Monday Night Raw. On that night, “The Hollywood A-Lister” regained his WWE Intercontinental Championship, defeating Roman Reigns after driving his head into an exposed turnbuckle. This win made The Miz an 8-time IC Champion.
“The Hollywood A-Lister” lost the Intercontinental Championship at WrestleMania 34 to Seth Rollins in a triple threat match, also involving Finn Bálor. Eight days later, he was drafted over to SmackDown Live during the 2018 WWE Superstar Shake-up.
