#2 Legitimises the United States Championship
Ever since John Cena’s US open challenge ended at Hell in a Cell in 2015, the United States Championship has faded back into irrelevance. Around Cena’s waist, it was almost as important as the WWE Championship; now it’s a lower-card belt.
On the other hand, The Miz has given the Intercontinental Championship the relevance it deserves.
Charlotte Flair to return and wrestle a CURRENT CHAMPION?
Baron Corbin getting a win over the Intercontinental Champion at Survivor Series instantly raises the profile of the United States Championship. Vince McMahon has always said that it’s not the title that makes the man, it’s the man that makes the title.
The Miz has made the Intercontinental Championship what it is and it’s his star power that could also elevate the United States Championship at Survivor Series.
