Rise to fame
Mizanin dropped out of college, where he was pursuing a degree in business, in order to appear on the 10th season of MTV's reality television program The Real World in 2001.[11] He went on to appear in multiple seasons of its spin-off series, Real World/Road Rules Challenge,[12] along with contestants from both Road Rules and The Real World, including Battle of the Seasons,[13] The Gauntlet,[14] The Inferno,[15] Battle of the Sexes 2[16] and The Inferno 2.[17] Except for Battle of the Sexes 2, Mizanin made it to the end of all the Challenges on which he competed and won both Battle of the Seasons and The Inferno 2.
It was during an episode of The Real World that Mizanin first displayed an alter ego known as The Miz.[3] In contrast to Mizanin's usually placid demeanor, The Miz was angry, combative and headstrong. Mizanin later realized that The Miz would make an excellent professional wrestling gimmick.[3]
In 2004, he appeared on the Bravo reality show Battle of the Network Reality Stars,[12] [18] in which his team finished second. Mizanin was also a contestant in the "Reality Stars" episode of Fear Factor.[19] His partner was his former girlfriend and castmate, Trishelle Cannatella, and the two won the competition. In April 2007, he appeared on the game show Identity, where he appeared as a stranger, and contestant John Kim correctly identified his identity as a professional wrestler by the odd way he added "Miz-" before most words.[20] On October 5, 2011, Miz starred in an episode of H8R.
Return to MTV
After a seven-year-long absence from The Challenge, Mizanin returned to the reality show on April 4, 2012, as the host of The Battle of the Exes season finale event and reunion special.

World Wrestling Entertainment/WWE (2004–present)
Tough Enough and developmental territories (2004–2006)
In October 2004, Mike Mizanin entered the fourth season of Tough Enough, a televised competition which awarded the winner a World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) contract and US$1,000,000.[3] [30] Despite coming last in an arm wrestling tournament on November 25, Mizanin outlasted six other wrestlers and reached the final round.[31] At Armageddon on December 12, Mizanin faced the other remaining entrant, Daniel Puder, in a three-round "Dixie Dogfight" (boxing match). Neither man achieved a knockout, and the contest was awarded to Puder on the basis of crowd reaction.[32] On the December 16 episode of SmackDown!, Puder was declared as the winner of Tough Enough by head trainer Al Snow.[33] Despite coming up short on Tough Enough, Mizanin had piqued the interest of WWE and he was eventually offered a developmental contract.[3]
Mizanin was sent to Deep South Wrestling (DSW) to train under Bill DeMott,[3] relocating to McDonough, Georgia in the process. In July 2005, he wrestled two dark matches for WWE, teaming with former Tough Enough champion Matt Cappotelli to face The Highlanders (Robbie and Rory McAllister). On December 1, Mizanin defeated Mike Knox in the finals of a tournament to determine the inaugural Deep South Heavyweight Champion.[3] He continued his partnership with Matt Cappotelli throughout the second half of 2005 in WWE dark matches and house shows until Cappotelli, nominally of Ohio Valley Wrestling (OVW), was diagnosed with a brain tumor after an injury at a taping in December 2005.[34] After Cappotelli's death from brain cancer in June 2018, Miz revealed they were to be called up to the SmackDown roster as a tag team known as Reality Check in 2005, but these plans were halted due to Cappotelli's cancer diagnosis.[35]

Main roster beginnings (2006–2007)
From March 7 onwards, a video on WWE's website and vignettes on SmackDown! heralded The Miz debuting on the SmackDown! brand.[3] [39] When Mizanin actually attempted to make his debut on the April 21 episode of SmackDown!, he was in storyline banned from entering the arena by network executive Palmer Canon who told him that he had been "cancelled" before having security escort him from the premises.[40]
The Miz debuted as the host of SmackDown! on June 2,[41] hyping up the crowd at the top of the show. Other duties included backstage interviews and hosting a bikini contest. Starting in July, The Miz, along with Ashley Massaro, hosted the annual Diva Search competition.[42] [43] [44]
After the end of the Diva Search competition, The Miz began wrestling as a villain, making his in-ring debut with a win over Tatanka on the September 1 episode of SmackDown!.[45] Over the next three months, The Miz remained undefeated, defeating such wrestlers as Matt Hardy,[46] Funaki[47] and Scotty 2 Hotty.[48] At the same time, he began a feud with Diva Search winner Layla El, who spurned his advances on more than one occasion,[49] [50] leading to The Miz helping Kristal defeat her in various competitions.[51] [52] However, The Miz and Kristal soon found themselves being stalked by The Boogeyman. This began a feud in which the Boogeyman ended The Miz's winning streak on December 17 at Armageddon.[53]
At Royal Rumble on January 28, 2007, The Miz entered in the Royal Rumble match as the 29th entrant, but only lasted seven seconds before being eliminated by The Great Khali.[54] On the February 2 episode of SmackDown!, The Miz defeated Matt Hardy once again with assistance from Joey Mercury. Following a brief absence from television, The Miz returned on the March 9 episode of SmackDown! to host an interview segment named Miz TV.[55] After the unsuccessful segment, The Miz returned to in-ring competition with a more intense style and began to pick up wins once again.[56] [57]
The Miz was drafted to the ECW brand on June 17 as part of the 2007 supplemental draft.[58] He was absent from the first few weeks of ECW, though he was the subject of backstage mentions between matches and had several short Miz TV Crashes ECW video segments.[59] [60] He made his debut on the July 10 episode of ECW in a match against Nunzio, which he won.[61]
Soon after, The Miz found new managers in Kelly Kelly, Layla El and Brooke Adams.[62] He then began a feud with Balls Mahoney after Kelly Kelly began to fall in love with Mahoney on screen.[63] [64] [65] On the October 2 episode of ECW, it was revealed that The Miz owned the contracts of Kelly Kelly, Layla and Brooke Adams; and he used this excuse to stop Kelly from going out with Mahoney.[66] He was nominated at Cyber Sunday on October 28 to face CM Punk for the ECW Championship. He won the vote, but lost the match.[67] Later that month, he formed a tag team with John Morrison.
Teaming with John Morrison (2007–2009)

Neither The Miz nor Morrison were pinned as Hawkins pinned Jesse to win the titles.[74] The Miz competed in the Championship Scramble for the ECW Championship on September 7 at Unforgiven, which was won by Matt Hardy.

The pick was then revealed to be The Miz and retaliated by subsequently attacking Morrison, ending their partnership and thus turning John Morrison into a fan favorite.[80]
United States Champion (2009–2010)
See main article: ShoMiz. The Miz challenged John Cena to a match on the April 27 episode of Raw, but as Cena was out due to injury, The Miz claimed an unofficial win via forfeit and continued to do this over the following weeks, until Cena returned and defeated him in a singles match at The Bash in June.[81] It would also be around this time where he would develop his new finisher, the Skull-Crushing Finale, and catchphrase: "Because I'm The Miz... and I'm awesome!" On the August 3 episode of Raw, The Miz lost to Cena in a lumberjack match, which meant that, in storyline, he was banned from the Staples Center, the Raw brand and SummerSlam.[82] The following week on August 10, The Miz competed under a mask as The Calgary Kid and won a Contract on Pole match against Eugene, earning a contract in storyline, and revealing himself by removing his mask afterwards.[83]

During this time, he gained a new entrance theme "I Came to Play", performed by the band Downstait. The Miz soon began a rivalry with MVP that began with a critically well-received verbal exchange between the two.[92] The two met in an unadvertised match for the United States Championship at the Royal Rumble on January 31, 2010, with The Miz retaining his title, but in the Royal Rumble match itself MVP eliminated both himself and The Miz.[93] Also around this time, The Miz formed a tag team with Big Show — later dubbed "ShoMiz" — and on the February 8 episode of Raw the two defeated D-Generation X (DX) (Shawn Michaels and Triple H) and The Straight Edge Society (CM Punk and Luke Gallows) to become the Unified Tag Team Champions, making The Miz the first wrestler in WWE history to hold three championships at the same time (United States, World Tag Team and WWE Tag Team Championships).[94] At Elimination Chamber on February 21, The Miz again successfully defended his United States Championship against MVP after interference from Big Show, ending their feud.[95] At WrestleMania XXVI on March 28, ShoMiz defeated John Morrison and R-Truth to retain the title again.[96] At Extreme Rules on April 25, ShoMiz would take part in a tag team gauntlet match, and would make it to the final two teams, but were eliminated by The Hart Dynasty (David Hart Smith and Tyson Kidd).

The Miz and Cena were successful in winning the titles, but lost them back to Corre immediately afterward in a rematch after The Miz turned on Cena.[115] This made their 9-minute reign the shortest in the championship's history.[116] The following week, The Miz lost Riley as his apprentice after Cena defeated Riley in a steel cage match with the stipulation that if Cena won, Riley was fired from his job. However, Riley would be re-hired in mid-March, this time as The Miz's "Vice President of Corporate Communications".[117] [118] In the main event of WrestleMania XXVII on April 3, The Miz successfully defended the WWE Championship against Cena, following interference from The Rock, who then attacked The Miz afterwards.[119]

The Miz would begin to pursue a partnership with Shane McMahon, with the promise of becoming the "best tag team in the world".[263] McMahon would finally agree to the team proposal in December, turning The Miz into a fan favorite for the first time since June 2014.[264] The duo would then challenge SmackDown Tag Team Champions The Bar (Cesaro and Sheamus to a title match at the 2019 Royal Rumble pay-per-view on January 27, 2019,[265] in which The Miz and McMahon would defeat The Bar to become the new SmackDown Tag Team Champions.[266] However, at Elimination Chamber on February 17, The Miz and McMahon lost the titles to The Usos, ending their reign at 21 days.[267] The duo failed to regain the titles from the Usos at Fastlane on March 10. After the loss, McMahon turned on The Miz by attacking both him and his father at ringside, turning McMahon into a villain.[268] This led to a falls count anywhere match at WrestleMania 35 on April 7, where The Miz would dominate, but ultimately lost.[269] On April 15, The Miz was drafted to Raw as part of the 2019 WWE Superstar Shake-up.

He stated in an interview: “I'll have many other opportunities at SummerSlam, but this might be Goldberg's last.”[276] On the Raw after SummerSlam, The Miz defeated Ziggler to end their feud.[277] The Miz then competed in the 2019 King of the Ring, but was eliminated in the first round by Baron Corbin.[278] The Miz then unsuccessfully challenged for Shinsuke Nakamura's Intercontinental Championship at Clash of Champions on September 15, after interference from Nakamura's manager Sami Zayn.[279]
As part of the 2019 draft, The Miz was drafted to the SmackDown brand.[280] During the November 1 episode of SmackDown, NXT wrestler Tommaso Ciampa disrupted an edition of Miz TV to air his grievances towards The Miz, accusing him of being self-centered. He subsequently challenged Ciampa to a match, which he would lose via pinfall.[281] The following month, The Miz began a feud with Universal Champion Bray Wyatt, who, under his sinister alter ego "The Fiend", proclaimed he wanted to become part of The Miz's family. He would later attack The Miz backstage.[282] Subsequently, a non-title match between The Miz and Wyatt was arranged for the TLC pay-per-view on December 15, which The Miz lost.[283]
Reunion with John Morrison (2020–2021)
See main article: John Morrison and the Miz.

Professional wrestling style and persona
The Miz's finisher, per the reality television and Hollywood tie-ins to his character, is a full nelson facebuster dubbed the Skull Crushing Finale.[1] He originally performed a swinging inverted DDT dubbed Mizard of Oz that he developed into a running knee lift followed by a neckbreaker slam, named the Reality Check,[351] before abandoning them both and adopting his new finisher in mid-2009.[84] [83]
Having been associated with Ric Flair, The Miz occasionally performs Flair's submission hold, the figure-four leg lock.[352] Since his storyline with Daniel Bryan, The Miz incorporated several of Bryan's moves, like the Yes! Kicks, which he nicknames the It Kicks.[353]
Criticism has been focused on the booking of The Miz's character. When he became a heroic character in late-2012, his turn was not well received by critics, who commented that Miz as a fan favorite was too similar to his villainous character because he was "still cocky, arrogant, and egotistical" while "pivoted toward calling out established heels" (villains). Other criticisms were that Miz was "juvenile", lacking of depth, "grating and not endearing to the audience" and that "there was not that moment when he officially turned and aligned his values with the audience's".[155] [354] [355] [356] After The Miz won the WWE Championship for the second time in February 2021, Zack Heydorn for Pro Wrestling Torch questioned the decision to give him the championship, writing that he had not been presented as "a credible professional wrestler in the ring", and complained his recent booking had not made him believable contender for a world championship. He then concluded by saying that he "should be far away from the WWE Championship picture."[357] Ryan Byers of 411Mania considered Miz to be a poor world champion, stating that he was "booked ridiculously weakly".[358] Despite this disapproval towards his character, Miz has received praise for his promos and speaking ability.[359] [360]
