7 Ups And Downs From WWE Royal Rumble 2015

3. Dissension Among Miz And Mizdow

Thankfully, it looks like WWE is getting the breakup of Miz and Damien Mizdow right so far. Miz is obviously jealous of Mizdow€™s popularity with the fans and it€™s now hurting their ability to function as a team. Similarly, Mizdow is seeing that he is capable of receiving adulation and might want to branch out on his own. Miz€™s jealousy came out Sunday night as he refused to tag in Damien, pulling his leg and hand away twice. Then during the Rumble match itself, Miz tried to prevent Mizdow from entering the Rumble and wanted to take his spot. To Damien€™s credit, he stood up for himself and got into the match €“ briefly. Miz of course was none too pleased. All of this sows the seeds of Miz physically assaulting his stunt double or Damien finally standing up to Miz and striking out on his own. While there might not be a lot of faith in WWE handling Mizdow afterward correctly, if they can at least do the breakup the right way, it€™s a step in the right direction.
