The Miz could quickly be in danger of becoming like Uncle Rico from Napoleon Dynamite, always bragging about his former glories, because headlining Wrestlemania seems a long way away.
It's fair to say his face turn has been a horrible flop, mainly because he's just so damn unlikeable. Is he now doomed to Kofi status forever, or can he get back some of his old momentum?

I think the best course of action for him as a babyface is to cut out Miz TV. I honestly think most fans in the audience like him, but they don't want to hear him talk all the damn time.

I as thinking about this earlier today. Then I realized I was spending time thinking about The Miz. Then I felt ashamed.

I doubt there's any interest amongst the bookers in getting him any momentum back, they'll always have other, newer toys to play with.

He's headed to commentary on Main Event on ION Television as we speak.

The guy has had three very good to great runs:
Tag team w/John Morrison & The Dirt Sheet. Could have been positioned to be the next DX, if DX had put them over. They were a great act & his quasi bronco buster was always a great spot in their matches.
His first run as a heel on Raw calling out John Cena. He introduced "awesome" & the Miz 3 Cena 0 thing. For that very short period of time he was one of the best parts of the show. Played a perfect arrogant snotty heel calling out the champion. Was a better Mr. Kennedy than Mr. Kennedy.
Awesome Truth against HHH/Punk. He & Truth played perfect antagonists as the fired rebels in the bizarro version of the current storyline. Completely derailed when fed to Cena & Rock. Their insincere promo of "we're just Mike & Ronnie wanting our jobs back to entertain you" was great stuff.
He doesn't need to be a babyface ever, at all. He isn't a main eventer & doesn't need to be. He is the last guy to be making a courageous stand against Brock Lesnar, Kane, Bray Wyatt or any monster heel.
Hopefully they remember what he did so well before & reposition him that way. He could be a perfect mouthpiece for Hunter & Steph. Let him be an obnoxious heel. Burying him for a bad babyface run would be like deciding Jerry Seinfeld isn't worth hiring because he was cast as a dark figure in an Aronofsky film.

I once said he was a Chris Jericho type who floats into the midcard/main event with ease...but I think I'm off on that one. The dude hasn't had a WWE title shot in 2 years, something Jericho never had to deal with. Also there's the whole "slotting into the main event" part. Yeah, with the talent they have now, I don't see him sniffing either World Title for the rest of his career, ever.
He's fine as a midcarder.

Maybe a feud for the WHC against Cena? I want to see him have a heel run with the WHC since I sadly doubt he will get another WWE Championship rub

The odd thing about Miz was that when he was heel, they booked his matches like he was a baby face. I remember during the WWE Title tournament post-CM Punk pipebomb, he won every single match clean. Later that year during MiTB when he got injured, he got a big pop for running down to compete in the match despite his injury.

You say that like it's a bad thing, it could be the basis of a good gimmick. Although Miz acting like an all-time great might be a little similar to what Bo Dallas is doing.

He goes home to find Maryse cheating on him and she takes everything because she can, leaving Miz to wander the world to find himself only to end it all by jumping off a cliff with Undertaker looking on saying "Rest In Peace"

I expect he'll be the Wyatts' job boy on free TV while they build up to their PPV match vs. Team Smarkbait.

Al Bundy Gimmick.
Miz shows up loses, doesn't give a crap, makes fun of some fat chicks, then we get promos of him heading home and telling Maryse all about the time he beat John Cena at WM, complete with Maryse begging for sex and Miz blowing her off.
