#3 Seth Rollins requested to face The Miz
Seth Rollins revealed in a 2019 appearance on E&C’s Pod of Awesomeness that he requested to work with The Miz for the Intercontinental Championship at WrestleMania 34.
“I pitched the idea to work with Miz at WrestleMania. That worked out great and we ended up getting Finn [Balor] in there. Finn and I had some excellent chemistry. Miz is fantastic, as always, and the three of us came together and we had a really good WrestleMania match."
In Seth Rollins’ words, he was “not ready to be the guy yet” at WrestleMania 34, which is why he was happy to challenge for RAW’s secondary title at the time instead of setting his sights higher.
The Triple Threat match ended up being one of the highlights of WrestleMania, with Seth Rollins picking up a pinfall victory over The Miz after hitting multiple stomps on both of his opponents.
Seth Rollins remained in Intercontinental Championship storylines with The Miz and Dolph Ziggler throughout the summer of 2018, and he even main-evented the Extreme Rules pay-per-view with the latter in a 30-minute Ironman match.
