WWE Backlash 2016 Predictions - 10 Things That Will Happen

8. The Miz Will Retain The Intercontinental Championship

If Jimmy & Jey Uso weren't facing off against The Hype Bros. on this show, Miz beating Ziggler would be the biggest lock on in my eyes. His Intercontinental Championship World Tour has only just begun, after all.

Now, I could vaguely understand Miz dropping the title to a fresh face, but to Ziggler? If Ziggler were to win the title on Sunday it would be the fifth time he has won the title, and for what? The man is an incredibly talented performer who needs something of a reboot, and as usual a heel turn is probably the way to go, not another run with the IC title.

Miz is 100% walking out of Backlash with the Intercontinental Championship in his hands. Bank on it.
