This Saturday night at Super Show-Down, The Miz and Daniel Bryan will square off once again, with the winner of the bout getting a shot at the WWE title in the near future.

The two men have been locked into one of the WWE's most intense rivalries for the best part of 18 months now, and their showdown in Australia has the potential to be the match of the night on Saturday.

WWE has invested a lot of time in the rivalry between these two men, and it doesn't feel as though Saturday is going to be the last time we are going to see them share a ring together.

Daniel Bryan has, thus far, lost both of his previous battles with The Miz, and while most of the WWE universe wants to see Bryan finally get one over on his rival on Saturday, I'm here to argue that The Miz should be the one who walks out of Melbourne with a WWE title opportunity under his belt. Let's take a look at three reasons why that should be the case.

#3 Bryan winning puts an end to the feud

The whole feud between The Miz and Daniel Bryan has been built on The Miz constantly taunting Daniel Bryan and insisting that he is a better wrestler than him.

This has been the key to the feud's success and the moment Bryan finally overcomes The Miz, then the storyline will lose all of its momentum.

While having The Miz come out and attack Bryan, or maybe even cost him the title belt next month would definitely continue the feud, the whole dynamic of their rivalry will have changed and the tension will no longer be as palpable.

It is essential to the feud's success that The Miz continues to come out on top for the next few months. In a similar vein to the Johnny Gargano and Tommaso Ciampa feud on NXT, the face getting a big victory needs to wait for a big stage, and a glorified house-show in Australia is not that stage.

#2 Continuing the narrative

The Miz has outsmarted Bryan at every turn

Daniel Bryan has lost to The Miz on two consecutive PPVs, and while neither The Miz or Daniel Bryan was involved in their finish at Hell in a Cell, that hasn't stopped The Miz gloating about the victory in the weeks that have followed.

There is no denying that the WWE has failed to capatalise on Daniel Bryan's momentum since his return to in-ring action earlier this year, but having him constantly lose to The Miz actually makes a lot of sense from a storyline perspective.

It is worth remembering that Daniel Bryan became the star that he is today because he was booked as the company's ultimate underdog, and while re-telling that same story may seem a little bit lazy, it is also guaranteed to be a success.

By booking The Miz to constantly go over Bryan, the WWE are infuriating the fanbase and, in turn, getting them to rally behind Bryan even more. Having him lose once more on Saturday only helps him get more over in the long-run.

The ideal scenario would be for The Miz to beat Bryan, then win the WWE title from AJ Styles, only for Bryan to win the Rumble and finally get the big victory over The Miz at WrestleMania.

#1 He deserves a shot at the WWE title

Few superstars have experienced a career renaissance like that of The Miz in recent years. The former WWE champion has gone from being a mid-card regular to one of the hottest stars on SmackDown in the space of just two years, and it's about time the WWE rewarded him for his efforts.

The Miz's second coming began back in 2016 when the WWE brought back the draft split, with The Miz quickly establishing himself as one of SmackDown's hottest acts.

A move to Raw in 2017 saw him lose of his momentum but a return to Tuesday nights to feud with a returning Daniel Bryan quickly re-established him as a star on the brand.

Any other superstar in these circumstances would have been given a title shot by now, but the WWE has appeared apprehensive when it comes to giving The Miz another run with the title belt.

The Miz has proved time and time again throughout 2018 that he is ready for a run with the top title, and while that opportunity may come at the expense of fan favourite, Daniel Bryan, that still doesn't change the fact that now is the right time for it to happen.

The Miz defeating Bryan at Super Show-Down, and then going on to either Crown Jewel or Survivor Series and defeating AJ Styles for the belt establishes him as the top heel in the WWE, which is exactly where he deserves to be at this stage in his carer.
