6 Worst Men's WWE World Champions Of The PG Era
6. The Miz
Poor Miz. His second WWE title run earlier this year was a complete disaster - although he was clearly given the belt in order to hand it over to Bobby Lashley (who will presumably drop it back to Drew McIntyre at WrestleMania 37).
His first run a decade ago started in similar circumstances - cashing in Money In The Bank - and he was playing an almost identical role then as he is now.
His reign in 2010 was longer, but hardly gave him a greater chance to shine. First, he knocked off Jerry ‘The King’ Lawler in a shockingly competitive encounter, needing help from the most insufferable incarnation of Michael Cole to get over the line. A couple of sneaky wins over Randy Orton followed before Lawler was brought back in for a second title shot for reasons known to nobody.
As WWE champ, Miz main-evented a WrestleMania and closed the show with his hand raised, so why does he make this list? Unfortunately, the WrestleMania in question was XXVII, one of the worst in history, and his win was overshadowed by the blatant set-up of the first Cena vs. Rock ‘Mania match for the following year.
