6. What's Next For The Miz?
Ben asks what lies ahead for The Miz. Assuming he ends Dolph Ziggler's career on Sunday, I can see the Intercontinental Champion embarking on one of the great modern title reigns, drawing parallels with Honky Tonk Man's mammoth run in the Golden Era.
Should he lose, I don't think Miz will find himself on the back foot for long. The Ohio native has proven himself an excellent modern-day heel throughout this reign, one primarily concerned with drawing heat from the fans, rather than attaining meta-popularity from more hardcore fans.
With that said, I can't see Miz finding himself in line for a world title shot at any point soon. The main event scenes of both brands are too cluttered and packed with fresh talent; as young as he still seems, Miz is very much part of the old guard now.
