16 Things You Probably Missed From WWE SmackDown (Feb 19)

11. Miz Putting The Usos Over Slyly

Miz rescued things by slyly putting The Usos over as the "best tag-team in the world". That's what he called them when he begged Shane McMahon to dispense with the new automatic rematch rules and book an Elimination Chamber repeat ASAP.

Shane raised his eyebrows slightly when Miz said this. Credit incoming: that was brilliantly subtle storytelling. The comment and Shane's reaction sold Miz as the stand up dude to McMahon's slightly-more-arrogant kinda' personality.

This is a huge change for Miz. He's usually the one running down opponents and putting himself on a pedestal.
