10 Best WWE Wrestlers Of 2017 (So Far)

There may not be a better all-rounder in WWE than The Miz, but that wasn't always the case. There was a time when Miz was considered a typical example of WWE performers playing wrestler rather than actually being one. Those days are over though, because Miz has blossomed into one of wrestling's finest heels.

In 2017, he has rarely had a bad match. Dean Ambrose has been a regular foe, and Miz even excelled in the multi-man Elimination Chamber in February. As if being a key part of huge matches like that wasn't enough, the current Intercontinental Champion was the glue holding build towards a mixed tag-match (pitting he and wife Maryse against John Cena and Nikki Bella) at WrestleMania 33 together.

Without Miz being so smug and superior during Miz TV segments and other promos, that mixed tag may have felt lacking. There's a reason WWE put Miz in that spot. He was there to tell a story, not just bump around for Cena.
