10 Wrestlers That Have Suffered Since WWE WrestleMania 35

7. The Miz

Worth noting here, as with Curt Hawkins and Zack Ryder, that nothing about Miz' real life in 2019 could be considered suffering - the former WWE Champion has recently welcomed his second daughter into the world, whilst his reality TV vehicle alongside wife Maryse speaks to his broad appeal beyond the sometimes-limited scope within WWE.

But speaking of that scope, it's just not been a good time to be The Miz: WWE Superstar.

Failing to get some comeuppance on the night itself, Miz lost at WrestleMania then struggled on against Shane McMahon until the programme concluded with him as the inarguable loser. 'The A Lister' didn't get a single measure of revenge against 'The Money', nor was he given any sort of upward momentum as he left the feud behind.

A competant sh*t-stirrer with Miz TV and a performer so perfectly pitched with WWE polish that he'll never not be valuable to them, Miz' duff spell speaks to the form that preceded it. Giving the Intercontinental Championship (and the matches he contested for it) life, he now looks underserved doing nothing despite having career security and safety the watching world would envy.
