10) The Miz vs Dolph Ziggler
WWE No Mercy ’16
The stakes were high at No Mercy ’16 for Dolph Ziggler. If he won, he was the new WWE Intercontinental Champion and his career was revitalized. If he lost, he was forced to retire from WWE.
The Career vs Title match ended up being great. The match featured some interference from the Spirit Squad and Miz’s wife Maryse. After all of them were ejected, Ziggler was able to hit Miz with a superkick and save his career. He also ended the Miz’s Intercontinental Championship reign in the process.
The match was entertaining and had lots on the line, earning it a spot on this list.
Ziggler vs The Miz received a 4.5/5 star rating from Dave Meltzer of the Wrestling Observer.

I like this list. My only change would be to switch out the Raw vs. SmackDown match at Survivor Series for the Triple Threat Women’s Title match at WrestleMania. Keep up the great work!
