3 Reasons why the Miz's face run isn't best for business

WWE never fails to entertain us and 2019 has been no different. From Seth's Royal Rumble triumph to Kofi's WrestleMania moment, there have been numerous noteworthy instances.

In the midst of such monumental events, there was one incident that really shocked us all and that was when Shane McMahon turned on Miz after their loss to The Usos at Fastlane. The then-Commissioner of SmackDown Live released his fury upon Miz and his father, in what was quite the disturbing sight to witness.

This led to a match between the two at WrestleMania 35, which proved to be a very personal match filled with extremely vicious action. The two battled at the Grandest Stage Of Them All in a Falls Count Anywhere match. Shane was the winner that night but it is fair to say that The Miz had the upper hand for most of the contest.

Fast-forward to the Money in the Bank pay-per-view, and the two men are yet to settle their dispute and will lock horns yet again. While feud has been entertaining, the idea of giving Miz a decent run as babyface doesn't sit very well with this author.

Here I list down 3 reasons as to why The Miz's face run isn't best for business -

#3 Natural Heel

John Cena and The Miz have faced each other numerous times in WWE

While scripts can help a superstar dive into their character, unless and until it feels natural, the prospect of succeeding is mighty low. Take John Cena's example - WWE fans have long anticipated a heel turn for The Leader Of The Cenation, but it hasn't happened, and we may never get to see it because Cena is a natural face who thrives being the hero.

Miz, on the other hand, is a tremendous heel who has achieved so much success as a villainous figure. Look at Miz's feuds with John Cena, Dean Ambrose and Dolph Ziggler. He was utterly brilliant in all those rivalries simply because he is much more suited to playing a wicked heel than an out-of-sorts face.

#2 Limits his mic skills

Miz possesses admirable mic skills

One of the greatest assets of The Miz has been his tremendous mic skills. His ability to cut a decent promo has never been questioned as the company trusts him with important verbal segments repeatedly. One major reason for Miz's successful career has been his potential to deliver effective promos with the mic - an art not many men have mastered!

Ardent WWE followers would have definitely observed that the reason why Miz has been so successful with the mic is because of his genuine arrogance, which he makes come across as charisma.

Miz's talk show has been a great example of his mic skills as a heel as the A-lister often ends up taking shots at the babyfaces. A heroic character does not indulge in acts that The Miz typically thrives at. In his heel run, Miz did cut amazing promos where he would literally diminish his opponent's credibility. Even though his face run has its fair share of solid promos from The Miz, it does not explore his full potential on the mic, which ultimately limits his character.

#1 Not a successful hero in the past

A disenchanted Michael Mizanin

This may not be the first time when we're watching Miz as a fan favorite - he turned face back in 2013. The WWE Universe had been craving for him to freshen up his character and have a babyface run. but when he did, things didn't turn out to be AWESOME!

His feuds with the likes of Cesaro failed to capture any sort of attention as The Awesome One was often welcomed with a pretty tepid reaction. Fast forward to 2019, we have Michael Mizanin reverted to a heroic role.

Miz and Shane's feud unfolded in a rather shocking manner, and while the WWE Universe expected Miz to be the one who breaks the bond, it was Shane-o-Mac who back-stabbed his partner and even assaulted his father.

WWE may be planning Miz's current character arc to run for some time, but WWE enthusiasts are well aware that things didn't turn out to be particularly remarkable the last time around, and it would bode well for all parties involved if we get the heel Miz back.
