It's a draw for the long-standing utility men, if only because they often go through purple patches where their obvious upsides are used to benefit something, even if that something might not lead to something else.

Both were busy over WrestleMania weekend, with Ziggler winning and losing in matches against Bron Breakker that served as misguided attempts to get the newcomer over as the most credible version of himself. Meanwhile, Miz was well cast as Logan Paul's partner and attacker either side of their WrestleMania tag team match against The Mysterios.

Since then, it's been back to the old reliable grind, but the old-reliable-grind-feeling is one of the many reasons WWE lost their monopoly in 2019. Miz and Ziggler aren't individually at fault, but few represent the foibles of the modern system more than these two. Up and down the card they go, filling in as needed on both sides of the heel/babyface divide whilst reading out their own Wikipedia pages as way to put over their achievements in a manner that completely does away with it being the emulation of a sporting pursuit.

If they didn't look like people who would smell exquisite on the reg, the WWE stink lines would probably visible to the naked eye.
