The Miz taught Byron Saxton and Tom Phillips a bit of a lesson on this week's SmackDown. Whilst those guys often pepper programming with mundane comments, Miz went the Corey Graves route and injected some life to the announce position. In doing so, he hinted that New Day might soon break up.

Go back and listen to Miz's commentary again and you'll hear him single out Xavier Woods as the most overlooked in the group, criticise Kofi Kingston for standing around at ringside, tease that Big E could break out on his own and remark that he'd like to see how New Day survive choosing one member to compete in MITB.

There's a bit of foreshadowing here. If WWE weren't planning on penning some friction in the New Day ranks, they would have told Miz to stay away from talking about it.
