And even this is a misnomer, since it was Damien Mizdow who won. Sandow was comedically brilliant in his turn as The Miz's stunt double (more accurately, his understudy), and was getting oodles of crowd reaction for his silly pantomimes and phantom bumps. It was a unique idea, to say the least.

The duo won the opening four way tag team match of the 2014 Survivor Series, capturing the Dust Brothers' belts in the process. Somewhat surprisingly, it was the only piece of gold that Damien Sandow would win in his four years on WWE's main roster.

The two would only reign for about five weeks before dropping the gold to The Usos. Despite the incredible buzz surrounding Sandow's anticipated babyface turn against an abusive Miz, Sandow was treated as an afterthought, and ultimately released in 2016.
