10 Strange Things WWE Champions Did With The Belt
3. Turned It Upside Down (The Miz)
A”W” will always be an “M” upside down, so The Miz should have this cute little addition to his act for the rest of his life.
A lauded but temporary addition at the time, Miz' use of an inverted WWE logo became emblematic of his look for the remainder of his career after a 2010 Championship victory.
The unveiling of his customised belt came during a Road To WrestleMania that saw him frozen out of his own main event programme against John Cena. The Rock’s recent return had lit a fire under ‘The Champ’, but the pair had brushed past ‘The A Lister’ so often in the build that only giant statements such as this got him back in the conversation.
His time with the title would be short-lived from then on, despite his eventual and unlikely WrestleMania win.
Miz lost to Cena just one month later, but his use of the inverted logo extended to the branding of his gear, his Titantron, and even the Raw and SmackDown microphones he’s taken plenty of time with since an impressive 2016 reemergence in the upper echelon.
