6. A Cash-In?

He'd be thick as mince to bother getting involved at the moment, but The Miz has shown a comparable lack of nous up to this point, so it's hard to rule it out.

Back when Roman Reigns and Drew McIntyre were set to batter f*ck out of each other in November, a laser-focused 'A-Lister' was nowhere to be seen. Instead, he entered a TLC match between the 'Scottish Warrior' and AJ Styles at the halfway mark and nearly his blew his shot completely before legal wrangling wrestled the case back for one last chance.

Neither McIntyre nor Goldberg will need as much recovery time as the Survivor Series opponents did, and one of several very likely shouts to win the Royal Rumble makes heading to WrestleMania particularly unattractive. Therein lies no logical reason why Miz would bother his a*se until after the 'Show Of Shows' in fact, giving it some proper thought.

With that in mind, he cashes in on Sunday and actually wins the f*cking thing. No chance he makes it to the 'Showcase Of The Immortals', but that sounds like a Fastlane problem. Join us on Peacock to see if the WWE Championship will change hands!
