4. The Miz Vs. Sami Zayn – 2016
The Miz and Sami Zayn collided over the Intercontinental Championship at the 2016 iteration of Survivor Series. Zayn received the hometown support with Survivor Series emanating from the Air Canada Centre in Toronto, Canada. If Zayn captured the Intercontinental Championship, he’d bring the championship to Raw. Miz, in his sixth Intercontinental Championship reign, regained the title from Ziggler five days before Survivor Series.
Miz and Zayn’s Intercontinental Championship match was highly competitive, and Zayn looked right at home in this bout. Zayn attempted the Helluva Kick, but the defending Intercontinental Champion sidestepped and cinched in the Figure Four Leglock on Zayn’s bad leg.
Zayn retaliated by locking in the Figure Four Leglock, but Miz’s wife, Maryse, proved to be a big distraction. She rang the bell with Zayn taking his eye off the ball, allowing Miz to cheat to retain the Intercontinental Championship by rolling up Zayn in a hard-fought battle.
