25 Greatest Superstars In WWE Raw History

17. The Miz

Responsible for one of the show's greatest ever moments, The Miz was still somehow only half the performer he'd later become when he cashed in on Randy Orton to win his first (and as yet only) WWE Title.

He'd deserved the spot, too. Since splitting from John Morrison in 2009, Miz had been a worthy irritant on Monday Nights, ably handling himself with celebrity guest hosts and stale storylines to break out from the chasing pack by virtue of his d*ckheaded charisma.

In 2018, he's maybe the most vital full-timer on the main roster. A complete and consistent performer, Miz's microphone game is better than ever and his good-not-great style between the ropes actually separates him fom the cookie-cutter workrate class mined from the mid-2000s independent scene. A heel for as long as wants to be, a second attempt at a babyface turn would almost certainly go better than the horribly mishandled first attempt too.
