10 Positives Heading Into WWE Backlash 2016

4. The Miz

The Brand Split has afforded a number of stars the opportunity to reinvent themselves, and there’s arguably no one who’s seized that chance more emphatically than The Miz.

Unless you’ve been living under an earth-sized rock, chances are you’ve seen his impassioned promo on Daniel Bryan from Talking Smack a few weeks ago. It proved to be one of those magic moments in which fans were questioning the reality of it all, and while some may still doubt whether it was a work or not, the most important fact in all of this is that it’s got people talking about The Miz.

With fans desperate to see how he'd build on that performance, The Miz had indeed made himself must-see. And while we may not have had quite the follow-up we expected, we do still have a compelling storyline in which The Miz is hell-bent on proving himself, shaking this “coward” billing he’s picked up, and adding to his "never-ending Intercontinental Championship tour".

The next stop on which is of course a Backlash meeting with Dolph Ziggler.
