Booking John Cena Over The Next Year

Being the final Smackdown superstar in the Royal Rumble prompts a bumper edition of Miz TV on Smackdown two days later, where Miz invites General Manager Daniel Bryan on set to gloat in his face. Miz bemoans the state of the roster, Bryan's management style, and the idea that he's some sort of 'coward' when he was the only member of the Tuesday night show still standing when it came down to the final two in the Alamodome.

Enter John Cena. Cena uses the same criticisms that Bryan has himself used, citing the fact that Miz resorts to cheap tactics and hiding behind his wife in order to get ahead, despite the fact that he's a natural born star with so much talent. Words get traded back and forth and tensions start to rise until Bryan interferes.

"Because a Raw superstar won the Royal Rumble, we don't have a #1 contender for Wrestlemania for AJ Styles' WWE Championship. So at WWE Fastlane, it will be John Cena vs The Miz for the chance at a championship match in Orlando, and Maryse...you're banned from ringside!"

As the tide of fan support starts to side with Cena, there's only really one or two guys on the entire roster that could drive people to side solely with the Cenation, and The Miz is chief among them.

Miz fumes over the coming weeks until the pay-per-view arrives, where despite all of his efforts and cheating, he loses to Cena in a rematch from Wrestlemania 27. Cena is due a WWE Championship at Wrestlemania 33, where he could equal Ric Flair's record!
