1. Miz Is Box Office Poison

Uggh. Sorry, but after watching Miz’s promo and his interference in the Mysterios tag match, we’re going to need a minute before carrying on.

Miz came out Monday night to run down his accolades, which honestly was like hitting play on a one-hit wonder’s greatest hits album. You hear the best stuff and then the rest is vomit-inducing. It’s an old, worn-out cassette that keeps getting replayed despite the tape fraying more each time. Did you know Miz headlined WrestleMania against John Cena and beat him?

When you’re living off an 11-year-old accomplishment that most fans agree was a low point for the company, you probably need to just retire the line. Stick to marrying above your station.

The tag match with the Mysterios and Hurt Business was OK, but then we had the contrived Miz interference to further the feud, as he tripped up Dominik, which led to Rey chasing him and Dom getting rolled up by Shelton Benjamin.

So both Mysterios are idiots, the Hurt Business – which lost to Omos in a 2-on-1 handicap match two weeks ago – grabbed their first Raw tag win since November, and Miz bored fans to tears reciting the same spiel he’s been using for years.

Can’t wait for Logan Paul to inject some life into this feud.
