13 days before defeating similarly thrown-together team MVP and Matt Hardy for the WWE World Tag Team Championships, John Morrison and The Miz went one-on-one to decide the #1 Contender to CM Punk's ECW Championship. Heck, five days after they won the titles the duo took on Punk in a triple threat match for his title at Survivor Series. They were rivals, thrown together when neither was able to dethrone the Straight Edge Superstar.

Somehow, the aligning of Miz and Morrison performed legitimate miracles for the career of the then-Chick Magnet, Miz. Until this point, Mike Mizanin was seemingly a joke with no punchline in sight. He obviously loved the business, but he simply wasn't going to be accepted.

Well, that's how it seemed.

Miz and Morrison went on to be one of the most dominant teams of their era, and despite everyone and their dog assuming that Morrison would be the one to benefit the most, Miz found himself as WWE Champion in winter 2010 and subsequently victorious in the main event of WrestleMania XXVII.
