There’s one simple way to make this an “up:” Have Miz squash Shane McMahon in three minutes at Money in the Bank and put this rivalry to bed once and for all.

However, we all know that’s not what’s going to happen here. The SmackDown commissioner showed up on Raw Monday night to distract Miz and cause him to lose to Bobby Lashley, leading to Shane then jumping Miz afterward and beating and choking him unconscious.

Because more McMahons means better ratings, right?

This is leading to a Shane/Miz rematch inside a steel cage at MITB, but that probably means we’ll get a drawn-out battle where Shane looks like he’s going to win and plucky underdog and former 8-time Intercontinental Champion Miz will gut it out over the 50-year-old executive and part-time wrestler.

Sounds about right, doesn’t it?
