#1 The Miz's losing streak on RAW continues even after gaining back his Money in the Bank briefcase

Last week, The Miz lost to Gran Metalik on RAW. Considering he was no longer the MITB holder, it felt like a stepping stone for Metalik to rise up the card on Monday nights. However, The Miz was granted back his contract after he pointed out a logical loophole in his cash-in at TLC 2020. The match between the two achieved nothing of note, except showcasing the MITB holder as a Superstar who nobody can take seriously as a WWE Champion.

The trend continued this week with The Miz and John Morrison losing a match to The New Day. Though he wasn't pinned here, it wasn't like it was to protect him. It is a baffling booking pattern, and WWE has found themselves in a place from where it is seemingly impossible to reverse this damage.

The only possible way out would be to have The Miz lose his MITB briefcase yet again, but why would the company book him to gain back the contract and lose it back? That's a question instead of an answer, but it's the only takeaway from this development on RAW. There are multiple questions, but hardly any logical solutions.
