Ranking the WWE World Cup competitors from least to most likely to win

#2 The Miz

The Miz is one of the guys who could more logically benefit from a tournament win.

Out of the guys involved in this tournament, The Miz has the least distinguished record as an in-ring performer. He, also, however, stands alongside Seth Rollins as the two guys who are quite arguably in the prime of their careers, and wouldn’t be entirely out of place in world title programs come WrestleMania season.

Though Miz is seemingly always climbing the hill of the credibility gap established when he got too much main event attention too soon back in 2010-2011. Fast forward to the last three years, and there are few greater beneficiaries of the brand split than Miz, who owned the mic on SmackDown, accomplished the unlikely when he rose from the pack on Raw, and picked up where he left off when he moved back to the blue brand, and particularly in his feud with Daniel Bryan.

One scenario pundits have pegged for WrestleMania 35 would see Bryan and The Miz blowing off their long rivalry once and for all with the WWE Championship on the line, probably with Miz coming in as champ. There are still a lot of steps required for that to materialize, but Miz winning this tournament would be a step toward planting him back at the main event level.
