The Miz winless streak 2025 has reached historic proportions, as match records confirm The Miz failed to win a single one-on-one match during the entire calendar year. The longtime WWE personality, known for his outspokenness and self-promotion as the “A-Lister,” found himself bested in every singles contest from January through December, with losses documented for both televised matches and live events.
A Year of Defeats: From Raw to SmackDown
His struggles began in January on Raw, suffering a loss to Sami Zayn. Later that month, The Miz was moved to WWE SmackDown, but the transfer did nothing to turn his fortunes around. Over the months that followed, he continued to accumulate defeats against established stars like LA Knight, Jey Uso, and Jimmy Uso. The year’s storyline underscored his inability to recover, with each major event highlighting this ongoing winless pattern.
Losing to Veterans and Emerging Stars Alike
The Miz’s difficult run extended beyond top-tier competitors. Rising talents, including NXT call-ups Jacob Fatu, Je’Von Evans, and Aleister Black, also secured victories at his expense, further highlighting the depth of WWE’s evolving roster. Even at non-televised house shows, his luck did not improve, with Joe Hendry and Carmelo Hayes both handing The Miz additional losses. These consistent defeats, regardless of the event or opponent, cemented his unwelcome place in WWE history for 2025.
Brief Success in Tag Team Action
While singles matches brought no relief, The Miz briefly tasted victory in tag team competition. In February, he joined forces with Carmelo Hayes to form the partnership “Melo Don’t Miz.” Together, they celebrated wins over teams such as Motor City Machine Guns and Fraxiom. However, this alliance dissolved before the year’s end, echoing his singles woes and leaving him without either victories or supportive allies on the roster.
Frustration Boils Over and the Arrival of 2026
Matters came to a head in the first SmackDown episode of 2026, when The Miz confronted the commentary team on-air, expressing his frustration about being sidelined during John Cena’s retirement tour and staking his claim as the new “Face of WWE.”
Return of Randy Orton and What Comes Next
Any hope for momentum was quickly dashed when Randy Orton returned, interrupting The Miz’s monologue in dramatic fashion. As The Miz floated the idea of a new alliance—“MizKO”—Orton responded decisively with an RKO, leaving The Miz floored in the center of the ring and sending a clear message at the start of the new season.
Heading into 2026, The Miz faces the daunting task of breaking his year-long winless streak. After a season defined by defeats and the disintegration of brief alliances, he not only needs victories but also must work hard to repair his reputation with both fans and fellow wrestlers after enduring the harshest chapter of his WWE career.
