10 Awesome One-Time WWE Champions

9. The Miz

The Miz has to win the WWE Championship again at some point, right? He's still only 37, and continues to command some of the biggest crowd reactions in all of WWE. Plus, Daniel Bryan is back in the frame. A world title feud between those two would be dynamite.

Until then, though, the reality is that Miz has to go to sleep every night knowing that he's only a one-time champ. A one-time champ who beat John Cena in the main event of WrestleMania, admittedly, but a one-time champ all the same.

The problem here is perhaps that Miz is too good of a mid-card act. Like Jake Roberts back in the 1980s, he doesn't really need a title to prove himself. The great promos, the brilliant character work, are enough to legitimise him as one of the company's leading men.

On the flip-side, one reign with the top belt feels like too few for a guy this good. He deserves at least one more before he calls it a day, and anyone with a heart should be pulling for him at next month's Money in the Bank.
