WWE pushed the Miz at a time and pace that no one thought they would, and according to many, the push came too early. He had a good run as part of a tag team with John Morrison and even held the United States Title.

That was expected to be the highest that he would go at the time. His victory was an actual surprise for fans, as no one had seen it coming. With the likes of Edge, Chris Jericho, John Morrison and Randy Orton involved, no one had expected the Miz to be the one to reach the briefcase and win the match.

He went on to have one of the most hated moments on WWE television when he cashed in the contract on Randy Orton.
