10 Things Wrestling Fans Fully Expected To Happen In 2020 (That Still Haven't)
10. Miz Breaks Jericho's Intercontinental Championship Reigns Record
The Miz started the year (and remains) in a nostalgia tag team with John Morrison, winning the SmackDown Tag Team Championships at Super ShowDown before getting bizarrely obsessed with Otis and his Money in the Bank briefcase. Miz now holds that case, a state of affairs that is a damning indictment of WWE planning.
Miz might be Mr. Money in the Bank once again, but does anyone see him as a world champion? Miz may have been one of the most consistent presences in WWE for years, but the former WWE Champion fits his niche in the busy corridors of the midcard. He shouldn't be anywhere near the top title, but he is a more than viable contender for the Intercontinental Championship, a title he has held on eight occasions.
Only Chris Jericho has held the IC title more times, reigning as Le Champion on nine occasions. WWE is nothing if not obsessed with its own history, so what price Miz passing Jericho's record sooner rather than later? That would have been high on the predictions ledger for 2020, but we end the year with Miz eyeing Randy Orton and his WWE Championship.
