For all the talk about how improved and how much of a career renaissance he has been having, the Miz got beat pretty easily Sunday night.

Miz was the last man out of the Elimination Chamber and quickly stole a pin on Dean Ambrose, then hit his version of Daniel Bryan’s Yes kicks and corner dropkicks on his opponents. But then, he quickly at an Attitude Adjustment from John Cena to end his night, just like that. To call it unceremonious would be an understatement, and it somewhat undermined all the talk about how Miz has improved in the past year.

The ease with which Cena dropped Miz also makes you wonder if WWE actually pulls the trigger a mixed tag feud involving the two (more on that later). Why would that even be a thing when you consider how easily Cena beat Miz? That was just a poor decision.
