10 Reasons Why The Miz Is A Future WWE Hall Of Famer

10. He's Bringing Prestige Back To The Intercontinental Championship

As previously mentioned, The Miz is the current Intercontinental Champion. Historically, this has been seen as the secondary singles title in WWE, a sought-after stepping stone used by future greats on their way to the top prize of the World Championship.

Or, that's what it used to be in the 1980's and 1990's. In the 2000's, the Intercontinental Title's stock has fallen drastically, and for long periods it has been anything but the prestigious workhorse title that the likes of Triple H and The Rock went to war over.

Over the years, WWE has tried on numerous occasions to build the belt's status back up to something befitting it's origins, but with minimal success. It has felt like something of a joke when every single superstar who wins the belt proclaims 'I'm going to be the man to make this title mean something again'. It's a stock answer, trotted out by WWE creative as they know it's what fans want to hear. But it's not exactly been a priority.

Until now. This current run from Miz feels different. It feels important. It feels like WWE are putting their weight behind Miz as champion, and to his credit, he is taking the ball and running with it. With his wife by his side, Miz' character is the sharpest it's been in years, and WWE creative is helping him out too by booking him smartly. The title is being defended at every PPV and is one of the main focal points of Smackdown Live every week.
