The Miz had a rocket strapped to his ass after WrestleMania 25 when he split from John Morrison and started his singles career in a feud with John Cena. After that, he became US Champion and became a huge favorite with the higher-ups as he would get tons of publicity from his media appearances with the US title. At one point, when R-Truth was US Champion, they had him drop the title to The Miz just so Miz can keep wearing the title in his public appearances. After a great feud with Daniel Bryan on NXT, Miz won the Money in the Bank, dropped the midcard title to Bryan, and became WWE Champion. He wore that title for over 3 months and main evented WrestleMania where he got to feud with John Cena and The Rock. He was on top of the world.
At the time, Triple H wasn't yet in charge of Talent Relations. This all changed during the Summer of Punk, when Triple H started getting more backstage duties along with a new on-screen authority role. This is when Miz's stock started to fall. He started a tag team with R-Truth that saw him face CM Punk and Triple H at Vengeance, and John Cena and The Rock at Survivor Series. But before that happened, Miz got some huge heat after a 6-man-tag on Raw.
The Wrestling Observer also chimed in on the issue:
And of course, we all remember the infamous "Miz's fault" issue in 2011. For those who don't know, Miz took the sole blame for the low buyrate for Survivor Series, despite the fact that all the marketing was about The Rock's in-ring return.
Now, being blamed for something that was obviously not his fault seems completely ridiculous, but this coincidentally happened at the time Triple H took over creative. After one last main event at TLC 2011, The Miz was moved way down the card, staying on the midcard and spending all of 2012 and 2013 either jobbing or swapping midcard titles with Wade and Kofi.
I for one am a big fan of The Miz, despite the fact that the internet fans have seemingly turned on him the same way they turn on everybody who gets de-pushe. Once an internet favorite gets unceremoniously shoved down the card, people start bagging on him saying he didn't cut it despite the fact he was over and id absolutely nothing wrong (Kofi, Miz, Morrison, Dolph, Ryder, etc.).
I thought Miz was the perfect guy to join The Authority and feud with Daniel Bryan on the way to WrestleMania, but of course, it doesn't look like Miz has any place in a faction led by Triple H.
So do you guys agree and think Miz's fall from grace has been Triple H's doing?
If so, why do you think Triple H dislikes him? And most importantly, do you agree?

During the Six-Pack Challenge on Monday's RAW SuperShow, R-Truth attempted a slingshot somersault onto The Miz but his fall was not absorbed due to the former WWE Champion being out-of-position. R-Truth ended up falling back-first onto the floor, causing his head to whip back. At that point, the referee decided R-Truth was no longer able to compete and personnel assisted him to the locker room area. The Miz is being blamed for the errant spot and there was a ton of heat on him from company officials, including Triple H, backstage after the show. The WWE Executive Vice President of Talent "loudly disciplined" The Miz in front of wrestlers as soon as he returned to the back. |

Quote:
Dave Meltzer: "HHH gave Miz a tongue lashing backstage about not catching him. Miz was a big favorite of management a year ago because his notoriety was such from "Real World" that they got so much publicity when he won the title that nobody else in the company could have gotten. But the feeling now is that he's regressed, both in the ring and on promos. Certainly, he's booked a lot lower than a year ago but the feeling is when he was in the same position before he was hungry and forced them to make him a headliner. Now, he's mid-card and he's doing no such thing, and this mess up can't have helped him." |
Quote:
Mike Aldren"One person specifically used the opportunity to politic and bury Miz for the botch, a scenario I fully expected given that the exact same thing happened when the soon to be fired Mr. Kennedy, now TNA's Mr. Anderson, botched a back suplex on Randy Orton's previously injured shoulder in May 2009." |
