If the WWE aren't careful, I believe that minor things such as "music mismatch" can lead the fans to not care about the character as much as they should.
Funny you should mention Miz, Ziggler, Swagger, and Sheamus, because I happen to love all four of those themes. Like you said, they don't 'fit', per say', but they're catchy tunes, and with talented workers behind them, people will begin to just associate the music to the characters.

Think about it this way...does "Sexy Boy" fit Shawn Michaels? When it debuted, sure. Now? Fuck no. But they haven't changed it. Ever. That song is just so closely associated with Shawn Michaels that it would be foolish to change it. Why can't other guys potentially have the same effect with their 'ill-fitting' themes?
