The Miz's 10 Best WWE Matches

10. The Miz Vs. Kofi Kingston - Main Event (Oct 17, 2012)

When Main Event debuted in October 2012, it was apparent WWE wanted to make the program as big of a deal as possible by establishing that anything could happen. Thus, it wasn't long before they scheduled an Intercontinental Championship match for the program's third episode on Oct. 17 between The Miz and Kofi Kingston.

Kingston earned his shot at the strap by beating Miz on an episode of Raw one week prior, which was far from their first encounter. In fact, it was almost exactly three years earlier that Miz knocked off Kingston to win his premiere United States Championship, so they already had excellent in-ring chemistry together.

To the surprise of no one, they ripped it up in their championship clash and the pre- and post-match interviews from both men definitely made it more meaningful. Following a fantastic back-and-forth bout, Kingston hit Miz with a swift Trouble in Paradise for the three count and his fourth Intercontinental Championship.

Miz and Kingston have not once produced a bad bout in their many matches against each other, but this undoubtedly ranks above the rest as the best match they have ever had. And the title change was merely the icing on the cake.
