It’s safe to say that few could have predicted that the Miz would be holding his own in a feud with Kevin Owens, Sami Zayn and Cesaro over his Intercontinental Championship. Maybe he’s renewed by having wife Maryse at his side, but the Awesome One is hanging in there with his challengers and doing his usual solid job on the mic.

But the question needs to be asked: Who’s leaving Extreme Rules with the IC title? Could Miz retain, setting up a big one-on-one feud with someone else in the match for afterward? Perhaps Owens hits a Pop-Up Powerbomb on Zayn but Miz steals the pinfall, setting up a KO/Miz feud. Or perhaps we get a new champ altogether.

Either way, this match could and should directly set up the next Intercontinental Championship feud for the following month or so. Hopefully, this match lives up to expectations.
