10 Fascinating WWE WrestleMania 29 Facts
9. It Began Raining As Soon As The Miz Won The Intercontinental Belt
Proof that even God dislikes the Miz, or just a case of curious timing? The battle between Wade Barrett and The Miz for the Intercontinental Championship was relegated to a fairly-quick pre-show match, won by Miz via submission. The skies were already threatening long before show time, and Mother Nature was about to unleash a small dose of her fury.
According to Figure 4 Weekly's Bryan Alvarez (who was in attendance at the event), the rain started to fall just as Miz was hoisting up his new belt. It seemed like a bad omen for the remainder of the evening, but shortly after, the rain stopped. For the rest of the night, conditions thankfully stayed dry.
WrestleMania 24 had a similar problem in Orlando, with light rain coming down early on in the night. The Miz was on that pre-show as well, taking part in a battle royal. Coincidence?
