Clash of Champions 2019: 7 WWE Superstars who were lackluster at the PPV

#2 The Miz

Will the real Miz please stand up?

I understand that it may be slightly unfair to include his name in this list as babyface Miz has not made the WWE Universe react to the Superstar in the usual way. However, his match against Shinsuke Nakamura for the Intercontinental Title forced me to keep him in this list.

The two men exchanged blows inside the ring but that didn’t fetch any reaction from the crowd. The only saving grace of this bout was Nakamura’s manager, Sami Zayn. He was brilliant on the mic while commenting on the actions unfolding inside the ring. Zayn knows how to irk anything with flesh and blood and he is pretty amazing at that.

The small interactions between him and Zayn during the entire match kept it interesting for viewers. Both Miz and Nakamura are incredible wrestlers who can put up great matches. But they also need a strong narration. If Miz was made to interact with Zayn even more, especially during the build-up, it could have been better for the storyline.

WWE can give it another shot but booking an agitated Miz who can rip his opponents to shreds with his mic work. Can you imagine the banter he will have with Zayn? Additionally, that will help Nakamura maintain his character who interreacts only when he wants.
