Originally rivals, John Morrison and the Miz became partners as a result of winning the WWE Tag Team Championship and making the title exclusive to the ECW brand, for a brief time.
During their title reign, Morrison and Miz developed a gimmick that resulted in the duo being given their own webshow, The Dirt Sheet, and their own in-ring interview segment of the same name on ECW.
They would defend the title on numerous occasions on both ECW and SmackDown as well as multiple pay-per-views against opponents like Shannon Moore and Jimmy Wang Yang,[7][8] Jesse and Festus,[9] and Tommy Dreamer and Colin Delaney.
[10][11] 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.
[15][16] 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.
[29][30] On the December 8 episode of Raw, Morrison and the 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.
[31][32] On December 13, at a house show in Hamilton, Ontario, Morrison and the Miz won the World Tag Team Championship for the first time, defeating Kofi Kingston and CM Punk.
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.
[40] 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, Cena won the title in a triple threat steel cage match against the Miz and Morrison.
[50] 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.
[53] 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.
[55] 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.
[59] 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.
