The Miz was supposed to have a second reign with the WWE Championship long before 2021.
WWE Superstar The Miz was a recent guest on Bussin With The Boys. During the discussion, Miz revealed that he was supposed to win the vacant WWE Championship in 2011, which was vacated by CM Punk following Money in the Bank.
“CM Punk left the show and he took the title with him,” The Miz said. “They made up a ‘paper champion’ or whatever. They brought a championship and said, ‘He’s leaving the show. He’s gone.’ They put the title in a refrigerator; that was the big meme. They were going to have a tournament. I went up against Rey Mysterio. I was going to beat Rey Mysterio and then beat John Cena, so I would be the champion.
“They switched it because usually we like babyface vs. heel. Bad guy vs. good guy. In this instance, it would have been babyface vs. babyface. ‘You need bad guy vs. good guy.’ I was the bad guy, but then, it was two huge monumental babyfaces that are Rey Mysterio and John Cena. Let them go at it. There was a moment there where I would have been a (two-time) champion.” [H/T: Fightful]
