Ranking Every WWE Title Match At Royal Rumbles Worst To Best
26. Royal Rumble 2011 - The Miz Vs. Randy Orton
It's one thing to have a heel World Champion regularly rely on underhand measures or sheer luck to retain their prize, but this was taken to a ridiculous level with The Miz during his first run as WWE Champion.
One prime example of how it was hard to ever take Miz seriously with Raw's top prize, was the A-Lister's Royal Rumble 2011 match against Randy Orton.
A 20-minute snoozefest here, the finish saw CM Punk's Nexus and Alex Riley get involved, with Miz sneaking the pinfall win after the Second City Saint nailed Randy with a GTS - in turn setting up Punk vs. Orton for WrestleMania XXVII, whilst Miz would successfully retain the WWE Title against John Cena at that year's Showcase of the Immortals.
