5 reasons why The Miz should win the Intercontinental Championship at Backlash 2018

#2 Create a megastar heel

Raw needs a real main event heel.

While WWE could have Miz win his record ninth IC title from Seth Rollins at Backlash clean or via shenanigans, there is a better way WWE could execute this shocking turn of events. Furthermore, the best way to fully capitalize on this decision is to have Finn Balor be the deciding factor in this match.

The Finn Balor heel turn has been analyzed, thoroughly discussed and suggested for many months now, and Backlash might be the best place for WWE to execute it. As Seth Rollins has finally found his footing as a beloved babyface due to his excellent reign as the workhorse champion of Monday Night Raw, Finn Balor should strive to destroy Rollins success.

This is not an absurd move by Balor, as Rollins has taken Balor’s WrestleMania moment, his world title and his place on the top of the card. Therefore, Balor costing Rollins his Intercontinental title at Backlash would be poetic justice.
