God Bless The Miz. As per usual, God Bless The Miz.

'The A-Lister' currently finds himself stuck in a reactionary programme with Shane McMahon that doesn't make a lick of sense the moment you even remotely try to tie it all together. McMahon ostensibly turned heel at November's Crown Jewel but the madness that ensued from a single Nia Jax punch resulted in 'The Money' staying face and former co-authority figure Daniel Bryan finding his darkest side instead.

Bryan rival Miz was ultimately proved right all along by his foe's switch, but had only 'The Money' left to crow to about it lest he be turned babyface for it. Problematically, he's had to turn babyface to earn Shane's trust - despite the fact that 'Shane-O-Mac' was all set to be the villain before they came together.

Miz is likely to 'turn' heel again any day now, but it's frustratingly for a feud few want and a match that won't at all suit his style. The actual babyface switch that could have come in the wake of Bryan's own turn seems lost to time, much like any hope of something significant for the former WWE Champion at WrestleMania 35.
