10 Ups & 0 Downs From Last Night's WWE SmackDown (Jul 24)

1. Baby Miz Bamboozles Bryan

WWE almost presented The Miz as a sympathetic character last night. Not only did 'The A-Lister' bring Maryse back to television, but he brought their daughter, Monroe Sky, as well. This was all done to promote the debut of their Miz & Mrs. series. It ran through the show, with the Mizanin family partaking in a number of short backstage segments, but boy did Miz revert to Full Scumbag by the end of the night.

The trio hit the ring, with Monroe Sky seemingly strapped to Miz's chest. Of course, it didn't take long for the subject matter to turn to Daniel Bryan, with 'The A-Lister' claiming his daughter had already accomplished more than the former GM. Bryan came out, battered the Mizanin's ridiculous security, and had "Monroe Sky" thrown into his arms, but to the shock of nobody whatsoever, it was a doll.

Miz struck. He laid his long-time rival out with the Skull-Crushing Finale, then got back on the microphone, claiming that things had fallen into place exactly as he'd expected, and that even the real baby was an actress. His closing line? Another Miz & Mrs. plug, the absolute prick.

Another week, another tremendous segment for WWE's most anticipated rivalry. Did Bryan look like a fool? Perhaps for a moment, but that's only a problem if it happens every single week. It won't. This storyline is the closest WWE have to a sure-thing at the moment, and it'd take a monumental effort to screw it up.
