A burst of light in a main event scene fogged up by Randy Orton, John Cena and a floundering Wade Barrett, The Miz' open-mouthed expression partially mirrored the response of a flabbergasted audience save for one furious fan that became affectionately known as 'Angry Miz Girl' following his prosperous Money In The Bank cash-in.

Defeating 'The Viper' in a semi-competitive effort following Orton's headline victory over Barrett, the mood felt right to roll the dice on Miz after an exceptional year behind the microphone smoothing out the edges of his douchebag persona. His reign didn't reach the levels it probably would do should he be given a second run in 2018, but the thrill of his glory remains strong even today.
