WWE Backlash 2016 Predictions - 10 Things That Will Happen

9. The Miz & Dolph Ziggler Will Have Their Best Match Yet

The Miz will defend his Intercontinental Championship against Dolph Ziggler at Backlash in a match that is equal parts intriguing and eye-rolling. The Miz hasn't done a huge amount since winning the strap the night after WrestleMania, defeating Cesaro and Apollo Crews in singles bouts whilst surviving multi-man matches too.

Miz and Ziggler have faced off many times at this point too, which makes the championship bout feel a little stale. If this didn't come with the recent Talking Smack debate between Daniel Bryan and Miz, this would be a true p***-break match.

However, with the extra eyeballs that will surely be on the match, I would expect both men to up their game. They have both been in WWE long enough to know exactly how to put on a top quality championship bout; this won't be their first dance, but it should be their best.
