Formation and WWE Tag Team Champions (2007–2008) Before they formed a partnership,
John Morrison and
The Miz were enemies, competing for the
ECW Championship in October 2007. On the November 16, 2007, episode of
SmackDown!, then-rivals Morrison and Miz were paired together to face
Matt Hardy and
MVP in a match for the
WWE Tag Team Championship, which they subsequently won after MVP
turned on Hardy.
Jesse and Festus, and
Tommy Dreamer and
Colin Delaney. In February 2008, Morrison and Miz were given a
streaming segment on WWE.com named
The Dirt Sheet in which they mocked other wrestlers and facets of pop culture. Morrison and Miz co-wrote each episode of
The Dirt Sheet each week, and Morrison credits his time in college studying film with contributing to the success of the show. After being forced to wrestle vs. Miz (in a Money in the Bank qualifying match) on the March 14 episode of
SmackDown in which he subsequently beat him in, Morrison competed in the
Money in the Bank ladder match, which was won by CM Punk, at
WrestleMania XXIV. Despite being unsuccessful, Morrison had a standout performance in the match, in which he performed a moonsault from the top rope to the outside of the ring while holding onto a ladder. During the sixth annual
WWE Draft on June 23, 2008, on
Raw, the duo defeated
SmackDown's the
Hardys (Matt and
Jeff) which earned
ECW its only draft pick, which turned out to be Matt Hardy, bringing his
WWE United States Championship to the brand. At
The Great American Bash in July, Morrison and Miz lost the tag team titles in a four team tag match to
Curt Hawkins and Zack Ryder, ending their reign at 250 days; however, neither Miz nor Morrison were pinned during the match. After losing the titles, Morrison and Miz entered a feud with ECW newcomers
Evan Bourne and
Ricky Ortiz, who they had previously mocked (and continued to do so) on the
Dirt Sheet. They also had an Internet-centered feud with
Raw's
Cryme Tyme (Shad Gaspard and JTG) based on which WWE.com online show was better: the
Dirt Sheet or Cryme Tyme's
Word Up. Morrison and Miz won a match between the two teams at
Cyber Sunday, which was voted for by fans over a World Tag Team Championship match.
World Tag Team Champions (2008–2009) Throughout October, the team mocked
D-Generation X (DX) (
Triple H and
Shawn Michaels), using phrases such as "Are you 50?" instead of DX's usual catchphrase "Are you Ready?" to mock their ages due to DX being formed in 1997, when both Morrison and Miz were in high school. On the October 28 episode of
ECW, their feud with DX continued as they mocked them after a live
Dirt Sheet and then proceeded to attack
two impostors playing Michaels and Triple H. Morrison and Miz were part of
John "Bradshaw" Layfield (JBL)'s team at the annual
Survivor Series but they lost to a team led by Shawn Michaels. On the December 8 episode of
Raw, Morrison and Miz won the 2008
Slammy Award for Tag Team of the Year and also for the Best WWE.com exclusive, for their show,
The Dirt Sheet. On December 13, at a
house show in
Hamilton, Ontario, Morrison and Miz won the
World Tag Team Championship for the first time, defeating
Kofi Kingston and
CM Punk. The duo then engaged themselves in a feud with the WWE Tag Team Champions
The Colóns (
Carlito and
Primo). They later defended the World Tag Team Championship against The Colóns but lost in a match for The Colóns' WWE Tag Team Championship. On the pre-show of
WrestleMania 25, Morrison and Miz lost the World Tag Team Championship to The Colóns in a
Lumberjack match to unify the World Tag Team and the WWE Tag Team Championships.
Split and feud (2009–2011) On the April 13 episode of
Raw, The Miz lost a match to
Raw's Kofi Kingston after John Morrison accidentally got him disqualified, which gave
Raw a draft pick in the
2009 WWE draft. The pick was then revealed to be Miz, and he subsequently attacked Morrison, ending their partnership. Two days later on April 15, Morrison was drafted to the
SmackDown brand as part of the
2009 Supplemental Draft. In October 2009, WWE premiered a new pay-per-view event based around inter-brand matches. At the time, The Miz was the second-tier champion on
Raw after winning the
United States Championship and was subsequently booked against
SmackDown's
Intercontinental Champion, John Morrison. In the build up to their first match since splitting, the two hosted a one-off edition of
The Dirt Sheet on the October 16 episode of
SmackDown where the two compared themselves to '80s tag team
The Rockers, debating over which is more comparable to the successful
Shawn Michaels and which was the less successful
Marty Jannetty. At
Bragging Rights, Miz pinned Morrison to become the only member of the
Raw roster to win an interpromotional match. The following month at
Survivor Series, Miz captained a team of five wrestlers against Team Morrison in a
five-on-five Survivor Series elimination match and once again bested his former partner. At the
Tribute to the Troops in December, Miz rolled up Morrison for the win in a singles match. The two had another match the following March, when John Morrison and his new partner
R-Truth challenged for the Unified Tag Team Championships held by The Miz
and the
Big Show. Morrison was finally able to defeat The Miz in a singles match, however Morrison could not pick up the victory for the titles at
WrestleMania XXVI. In 2011, after The Miz won the
WWE Championship, he retained the title against Morrison in a Falls Count Anywhere match on the January 3, 2011, episode of
Raw. At May's
Extreme Rules,
John Cena won the title in a triple threat steel cage match against The Miz and Morrison. At one point, Morrison nearly escaped the cage, but was attacked by R-Truth, who had turned heel on Morrison that February, ending their partnership. Later that year in November, The Miz and Morrison had another Falls Count Anywhere match, in which Miz caused Morrison a scripted injury; this was used to write Morrison off WWE television as he decided not to renew his contract.
Reunion (2020–2021) On September 26, 2019, it was reported by Mike Johnson of
Pro Wrestling Insider that Morrison had re-signed with
WWE, being confirmed on December 3 on
WWE Backstage. He made his return on the January 3, 2020 episode of
SmackDown and was paired with The Miz. On the January 31 episode of
SmackDown, the duo teamed together for the first time in nearly 11 years, defeating Heavy Machinery (
Otis and
Tucker),
Lucha House Party (
Gran Metalik and
Lince Dorado), and
the Revival (
Dash Wilder and
Scott Dawson) in a
fatal four-way tag team match, thus earning an opportunity to face
the New Day (Big E and Kofi Kingston) for the
SmackDown Tag Team Championship at
Super ShowDown, winning the titles on February 27. On March 8, the duo had their first title defense against five other teams in the second-ever tag team
Elimination Chamber match at the
Elimination Chamber event, eliminating the
New Day and
the Usos themselves at the end of the match to retain the title. At
WrestleMania 36, after The Miz's absence due to illness, Morrison defended the SmackDown Tag Team Championships by himself in a
ladder match against Kofi Kingston and Jimmy Uso, in which he was successful. On the April 17 episode of
SmackDown, the duo lost the titles back to the New Day after Miz unsuccessfully defended the titles by himself in a triple threat match against Big E and Jey Uso, ending their reign at 50 days. At
Money in the Bank the following month, Morrison and Miz unsuccessfully attempted to regain the championship in a fatal four-way tag team match. Both participated in a handicap match against the
Universal Champion Braun Strowman at
Backlash for the title, but they were defeated. Then, they started a storyline with the Money in the Bank contract holder Otis and Tucker of
Heavy Machinery, culminating with a match at
Hell in a Cell where Miz won the briefcase. Miz cashed in his Money in the Bank contract at the
TLC: Tables, Ladders & Chairs event during a TLC match between Drew McIntyre and
AJ Styles, but was unsuccessful as McIntyre retained his title. On the December 28 episode of
Raw, Miz had the contract returned to him as the cash-in at TLC was ruled invalid due to Morrison cashing in the contract on his behalf (as only the contract holder himself can cash it in). At
Elimination Chamber, Miz would successfully cash in on McIntyre and win the WWE Championship for the second time in his career but lost it eight days later against Bobby Lashley. Miz and Morrison started a feud against
Bad Bunny and
Damian Priest at the end of January which led them to a match at
WrestleMania 37, in a tag team match, in which they lost. On the August 23, 2021 episode of Raw, The Miz was defeated by
Xavier Woods after an unintentional distraction from Morrison. After the match, Miz attacked Morrison, disbanding the team and setting up a feud between the pair. However, the feud would abruptly end after The Miz took time off to compete on the
Dancing with the Stars. On November 18, as part of budget cuts stemming from the
COVID-19 pandemic, Morrison was released from his WWE contract before The Miz would return to WWE programming. ==Championships and accomplishments==
