#2: The Miz is the dream heel for any NXT babyface to battle

The Miz was a mentor in the original version of NXT. The A-Lister helped introduce his rookie, one Daniel Bryan, to the WWE audience by feuding with him upon Bryan's arrival on the main roster. This rivalry would be revisited regularly throughout the course of Bryan's WWE career, and is considered a highlight of his run with the company.

If the nine-time Intercontinental Champion were to find himself without direction for the Show of Shows, he would definitely be a valuable addition on the road to Takeover: Stand and Deliver. Miz's mainstream popularity would surely bring more eyeballs to the product, and his expertise on the mic would elevate whoever is chosen to face him.

1: Cesaro always makes magic when he competes in NXT

Ad

Cesaro played a key role in the history of the rainbow brand. The Swiss Superman had a legendary series of matches against Sami Zayn from 2013 to 2014, an era that some NXT fans regard as its greatest period. This rivalry, along with Cesaro's US title defences against PAC and NXT Championship challenge against Bo Dallas, were crucial in establishing the brand as a viable alternative to RAW and Smackdown.

The former United States Champion was not featured in the 2022 Royal Rumble. Additionally, his in-ring style has proven compatible with the developmental brand. Since fans have been clamoring to see him face the likes of Gunther on WWE TV, a run in the Capitol Wrestling Center could be a very exciting prospect.
