10 Booking Steps For WWE Raw (July 11)

At one point, it looked like Cesaro was going to continue chasing Rusev for the WWE United States Title. Then on last week's 4 July Raw, the pair were shown casually sitting around a table together enjoying the party. It seems their problems are behind them, but that doesn't mean Cesaro can't chase another piece of gold.

The Miz is the kind of champion that doesn't feel he needs to defend against anyone - he's just happy to brag about having a trophy wife and a title belt.

Come Raw, a multi-man elimination bout could be set up to determine a new top contender for Miz's championship. Cesaro, Chris Jericho, and Apollo Crews would be involved, with the match coming down to Jericho and Cesaro. Once the Swiss locked in the Sharpshooter, he would face The Miz (watching from the ramp) and warn him that he's coming for the title.

Cesaro did challenge for the belt just a few months ago, but who else is there who deserves it more than him right now? He and Miz work well together.
