5 Ups And Downs From Last Night's WWE Raw (Dec 15)
3. Miz Messes With A Married Woman
On the one hand, its good to see some actual backstage character development involving tag teams and a woman that doesnt revolve around a Total Divas crossover. But making sense of this is a head-scratcher. If the Usos were tag team champs, then this would at least be plausible: Miz is trying to get in Jimmy Usos head by targeting his wife Naomi. But Miz (and Damien Mizdow) already has the titles. Then after the two have a one-on-one match and Jimmy gets his retribution, Miz continues the mindgames with Naomi. Why? We know Miz is married to former Diva Maryse, so its probably not going down an infidelity route. This is a tough one to predict the payoff. Call this a cautious down for now with some upside that theres more to the storyline than the highly entertaining Mizdow flopping around at ringside.
