If it feels like The Miz and Dean Ambrose have been feuding all year, it's because they have.

Ambrose dethroned Miz on first SmackDown Live! of 2017, back when they both wrestled on the blue brand. A brief break from one another in time for WrestleMania was halted in April's Superstar shake-up, when Miz and Maryse's arrivals on Monday Night Raw were immediately interrupted by the 'Lunatic Fringe', ensuring another go around between the tired rivals.

As was the case during his storied 2016 tenure on the blue brand, The Miz has elevated virtually everything he's been involved with, and has been entrusted with some typically wonky content that only he could escape from unscathed.

The rivalry between the two has pulled in Elias Samson, the n-word, elbow dropping a grandfather clock and even a brand new 'Miztourage' in Bo Dallas and Curtis Axel, who will ultimately be Ambrose's undoing in this feud-ender.

Away from titles, the former Shield member looks something of a lost cause, but the remedy to that is not to sacrifice Miz' hard work yet again. Expect the champion to retain, possibly after revealing his recent dissension with wife Maryse to be a complete ruse in order to steal another victory.
