10 Wrestlers Who Will NEVER Be All Elite (And Why)

If relentless hazing from the likes of JBL and Chris Benoit wasn’t enough to send The Miz packing, don’t expect a budding rival promotion to pull it off any time soon.

Mike Mizanin’s journey from MTV’s The Real World to Tough Enough to undercard joke to Miz & Morrison to singles gold is a remarkable underdog story. A consummate professional, The Miz has kept his head down and worked hard throughout his WWE tenure. His dedicated work ethic has earned him a WWE Championship reign, a WrestleMania main event win and multiple great Intercontinental title reigns among other accomplishments.

A dependable spokesperson for WWE, Miz has often turned up on TV and radio interviews to promote the brand. By way of wife Maryse’s work on Total Divas, he is now also the co lead of their Miz and Mrs reality series. Miz has often said WWE has been his life’s dream and is now one that has brought him great success on all fronts. While the likelihood of Miz ever being World champ again is slim, he probably won’t try his hand in AEW or anywhere else for that matter.

The A-Lister will likely remain a featured character for the rest of his career in WWE where his softer ring style is welcomed and his additional projects will receive ample promotion.
