How did The Miz earn so much cash? Let’s take a look at Mizanin’s road to riches…
2001 – 2010
Mike “The Miz” Mizanin first taste of the limelight came in the form of the 2001 season of MTV’s The Real World. His reality TV background was both a blessing and a curse when he broke through to the WWE in 2004. Being a cast member on The Real World got him noticed, but it also caused many of his peers and many of the WWE fans to not take him seriously.
After spending his first few years at the bottom of the card, The Miz moved from SmackDown to ECW, and really developed into the star we know today. He formed as a tag team with John Morrison, quickly ascending to the top of the WWE tag team division, capturing both the WWE and World Tag Team Championships.
The Miz found his greatest success on his own. After betraying his tag team partner, he quickly rose through the ranks of his new home Monday Night Raw. After about a year as WWE United States Champion, The Miz graduated to the main event after he defeated Randy Orton for the WWE World Championship on November 22, 2010.
