Predicting All 15 WWE Champions One Year From Now
2. WWE Champion: The Miz
One of WWE's most complete performers and their best heel for the past few years, The Miz is a huge asset to the company. He isn't even "underrated" anymore. Almost everybody recognises the man's greatness, including his employers, who understand that his greatest strength is playing stooge to any popular babyface figure in need of a jolt to the top... but it would be nice to see him grab the company's top prize again.
This is something Miz loyalists have been waiting for for a long time. There isn't a better talker or character actor in Miz's lane, and he's an excellent WWE-style wrestler to boot. Pass him the torch, and he'll excel, particularly if he continues his stooging ways, ducking challenger after challenger as SmackDown's undisputed kingpin.
The WWE Championship may yet feature in Miz's feud with Daniel Bryan, as the two will clash for contendership at Super Show-Down on 6 October. A big WrestleMania clash between the two (with the gold on the line) is on a lot of fans' wishlists at the moment, but regardless of whether that happens or not, another Miz championship run is well overdue.
