With his trademark "Awesome,"
slogan, The Miz has become one
of the top young stars in the
WWE.  A graduate of MTV's
Real World reality show, he
fulfilled a dream by becoming a
pro wrestler, and joined the
WWE as a full-time grappler in
2006 after toiling in the
promotion's developmental
organizations.  Since that time,
he's won the WWE Title, had
two reigns as U.S. champion,
and held both the WWE Tag and World Tag Team championships.  In 2011, he survived
WrestleMania with his WWE belt intact, a rare feat.  The Miz combines athleticism with
attitude and his cockiness is at the forefront of his in-ring character, getting under the skin of
audiences with a certain ease.

Michael Gregory Mizanin was the holder of the Money in the Bank briefcase when, on
November 22, 2010, he cashed it in and beat Randy Orton to win the WWE Title - the biggest
win of his short career.  He reigned for 160 days and claimed to be the "Most Must-See WWE
Champion in History." The Miz proved that he was capable of holding the championship, and
delivered in match-after-match.  On May 1, 2011, Cene beat him for the belt at Extreme
Rules in a three-way cage match also involving John Morrison - The Miz's former tag partner.

The Miz feuded with Alex Riley, teamed with R-Truth, and participated in many roles through
the end of 2011 and into 2012.  However, despite his history, and as of March 21, he was not
booked to participate in Wrestlemania 28 in Miami - which was a shock considering his role
only a year before.  Just a week before the event, Miz earned a spot on John Laurinaitis'
squad at the big event.
