This is exactly what The Miz would do.

Raw's shrewd operator and manipulative reality TV star would definitely try to pay off some of the lumberjacks so that they bring the pain to Damian Priest exclusively. Like a dumb heel, he'd also bribe some of the wrong dudes, thus leading to ye olde egg on his chops come the end of the match.

The lumberjack gimmick can be lame, but Miz will do everything in his power to make Priest look like the star WWE wants. He'll bump around like a madman for Damian eventually - before that, Miz will work in that smirk as the group of wrestlers employed to stand around pretending they care give Priest a kicking.

WWE might even want to have Miz put John Morrison in charge of paying off the lumberjacks. Then, it can be revealed that JoMo made a mess of things. Raw's writers seem to be building towards a split there anyway.
