4 Ups And 8 Downs From WWE Raw (Feb 14)

As a WWE superstar, Miz is a good reality show contestant… mainly because that keeps him off Raw.

This writer has tried to find the silver lining of Miz in 2022, but it’s just not there. His feud with Edge had potential, but it produced awful TV leading up to a pretty decent mixed tag between married couples. Now, Miz is engaged in a feud with the Mysterios, accusing them of cheating repeatedly.

Monday, we got Miz on commentary just running his mouth during a Mysterios/Alpha Academy match that saw Chad Gable roll through a crossbody attempt to pin Dominik despite Miz’s attempted interference. Afterward, Miz laid out Rey with a Skull-Crushing Finale, setting up a match between the two at Elimination Chamber. Yippie.

Sorry, but this has been a really underwhelming year for Miz, and this angle has way underperformed. Monday’s ordeal was just painful to listen to him on commentary.
