7 Ups And 7 Downs From Last Night's WWE Raw (Jan 25)
UPS
7. Rising Fury
If you follow WWE week in and week out, then you would notice that the Miz is slowly boiling over as a person, about to burst. For the past several weeks, people have repeatedly interrupted Miz during Miz TV or whenever he has a microphone in hand. Miz has become so accustomed to it that he seemed to know he was going to have someone cut him off mid-sentence, but that didnt make things any less frustrating. As soon as Kalistos entrance music hit, Miz threw his arms up, but he also acted like he was half-expecting it as well. Theres no telling what the payoff is to this, whether Miz rewards someone with a WrestleMania match or if he just has a regular match with them in the coming weeks. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xu7u6VtyheA Still its surprising to see WWE use small steps week in and week out to book a character development. Can they keep it up without screwing things up?
