6 Ups & 5 Downs From WWE SmackDown (Dec 6)

1. A Miz Heel Turn Could Be Coming?

If everyone Bray Wyatt faces in a major match ends up changing as a person, then stay tuned for some Miz heel goodness in the near future.

The Miz's eyes were glazed over, like he was transfixed or hypnotised, when Bray Wyatt was cutting his promo on the big screen, and he seemed to gently snap at his wife Maryse over the phone. This could be yet another example of Wyatt psychologically damaging his foes. He's done it to Finn Bàlor, he wrecked Seth Rollins' momentum, he's feeding on Daniel Bryan and now this.

A heel turn for Miz wouldn't be the worst thing in the world right now. SmackDown could do with another top heel not-named 'King' Corbin, and Miz could have excellent matches in the mid card against guys like Shorty G, Mustafa Ali and Elias.

It would make more sense for Miz to break like the others than withstand Bray's mind games too. The first person who manages that must be someone who needs the rub. Miz, as one of WWE's longest-serving stars, doesn't.
