After the beating The Bar dished out to new besties Shane McMahon and The Miz on the go-home edition of SmackDown Live, it seems likely that the Challengers will topple the Champions here before an inevitable split sets 'The Money' and 'The A-Lister' on their own potholed Road To WrestleMania. But why bother delaying the potentially-brilliant inevitable?

The one thing this stacked show may lack is a truly great turn. Miz covered the body of the fallen McMahon on Tuesday - was he covering his tracks for the final time before revealing how, much as Shane suspected, he was out to get him all along.

It takes a special kind of petty to be gotten to by the loss of arguably the most meaningless trinket in company history, but Miz hasn't forgotten what happened to him at Crown Jewel, nor allowed the tinpot trophy to disappear from view - as he hadn't before Shane stepped in at the problematic Saudi supershow.

He tried to save his "friend" on Tuesday - he'll let him take his lumps on Sunday, finally revealing his ruse.

Winners - The Bar
