It legit lasted 8 days and he dropped it to Lashley in like 2 and half minutes
Everything about the is statement is true, and it was the right booking.

And it didn't matter because all that mattered was Miz won the Championship again, which he wholeheartedly deserved.

The problem with it was that it devalued the title that's all. I like MIz but he should never have won the title.

The whole purpose was to put the title on Lashley before he got McIntyre at Mania.

You could argue that Lashley should’ve just won the title from McIntyre at Mania, but I liked low down Miz hiring Lashley to be his hired assassin so he could pick the bones

I wholeheartedly disagree. It was a Money In The Bank cash-in. Everyone knows it wasn't like he earned a clean title match. And by losing it so decisively to Bobby Lashley it further cemented Bobby Lashley as a dominant force.

Hell the only other time I can recall the WWE championship changing hands in such a fashion was when Brock beat Cena at SummerSlam.

It’s a shame that gimmick only lasted like 3 months

Yeah people were worried about Mania but I think that went smoothly. I remember an initial panic bc traditional PPV providers were refusing to show them entirely bc they knew the network would take almost all their buys but then people were worried the network streaming would be shit yet couldn't even spend more money to buy them traditionally lol
