8 Ups And 9 Downs From WWE WrestleMania 31

6. Mizdow Stands Up For Himself

Although things didn€™t work out in the end for Damien Mizdow, he still managed to get his WrestleMania moment, not only standing up to his boss, the Miz, but eliminating him from the battle royal. Fans were solidly behind Mizdow €“ as they have been for months €“ and they hate Miz, which bodes well for a feud between the two. It will be interesting to see how things shake out with this development, as the Miz/Mizdow storyline is one of the few that WWE has consistently done well, tweaking the original stunt double gimmick just when it was becoming stale and teasing just enough at Mizdow revolting until Sunday€™s eruption. But now that Mizdow is standing on his own, will he end up like former Miz protégé Alex Riley and land on the scrap heap, or will he finally break through?
