Sticking with petty decisions to break records held by top AEW stars, what price The Miz returning to the secondary title picture at some point during 2020? The A-Lister might be tied up in nostalgic tag team duty with John Morrison at the moment, but don’t bet against the duo splitting up sooner rather than later and Miz once again battling for a title he has done more for than most in recent years.

The Miz and the Intercontinental Championship go well together. In truth, the secondary championship probably represents his apex, past glories notwithstanding. There is an old school feel to Miz in many ways, a stripped-back in-ring style that plays second fiddle to aesthetics and character, and that traditional wrestling combination works well with a title as steeped in nostalgic tradition as the IC strap.

All this is well and good, but there is another factor that plays into Miz’s potential record-breaking. The current holder of this record? That’ll be ‘Le Champion’, AEW’s Chris Jericho. As with Andrade and the US title, don’t put it past WWE giving Miz a couple of shotgun reigns in order to remove Jericho from this particular record. As things stand, Miz has eight reigns to Jericho’s nine.

Born in the middle of Wales in the middle of the 1980's, John can't quite remember when he started watching wrestling but he has a terrible feeling that Dino Bravo was involved. Now living in Prague, John spends most of his time trying to work out how Tomohiro Ishii still stands upright. His favourite wrestler of all time is Dean Malenko, but really it is Repo Man. He is the author of 'An Illustrated History of Slavic Misery', the best book about the Slavic people that you haven't yet read. You can get that and others from www.poshlostbooks.com.
