As much as this was Dolph Ziggler's moment, everybody should spare a thought for The Miz. Lost in the shuffle at the turn of the year, Miz was eventually handed the WWE Intercontinental Title the night after WrestleMania 32. Nobody could have guessed what he would do with the belt, turning it into something meaningful on WWE TV again.

Since April, Miz has been a riot in the heel role. Now, he doesn't have a championship belt to carry around, something that hopefully won't have a negative impact on his screen time. On SmackDown Live, The Miz must be considered one of the most valuable villains management have.

Showing this once again, the guy looked like his world had come crashing down around him upon defeat to Dolph Ziggler. Resting his chin against the middle rope, Miz wore an expression of complete agony. It looked for all the world like he was struggling to comprehend what had just happened to him.

That's precisely how a hated heel should act, like they can't believe life could be so cruel. Stunning work.
