10 Amazing WWE WrestleMania Pitches That Never Happened

10. The Miz Vs Ultimate Warrior - WrestleMania XXVIII Or 29

There’s something special about our favourite wrestlers coming back after a long time away. More than that, it’s even better when a current day star gets to get into the ring with someone they grew up watching.

The Miz’s favourite wrestler as a kid was the brightly-coloured purveyor of intense promos himself The Ultimate Warrior. Recently, The A-Lister revealed on his TikTok account that he had pushed for a dream scenario backstage that would’ve put him in direct contact with his hero.

The idea played into the character's desire to be recognised as the greatest Intercontinental Champion of all time by going over several previous title holders. Miz pitched a “gauntlet lumberjack match” where he would face five previous champions one-by-one and overcome all the odds only for a sixth secret competitor to be revealed.

It’s hard not to imagine how huge the reaction to the Ultimate Warrior’s music hitting at WrestleMania would be as he stormed down to the ring to hit Miz with three clotheslines and a splash.

Which WrestleMania Miz is referring is hard to place because he came into the Show of Shows as IC champ in both 2012 and 2013. However, this idea never came to fruition and never will with Warrior’s passing in 2014.
