WWE SmackDown Live: 4 standout performers who will be successful following WrestleMania 35

#2 The Miz

A controversial ending?

At WrestleMania 34, The Miz and Shane McMahon had not yet been intertwined. The Miz would lose his WWE Intercontinental Championship in a Triple Threat match involving Seth Rollins and Finn Balor. Whereas, McMahon teamed with Daniel Bryan to take down Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn. One year later The Miz and McMahon would battle for supremacy.

At WWE Crown Jewel their story would begin. Having made it to the finals of the WWE World Cup The Miz was supposed to face Dolph Ziggler, but suffered a knee injury. It was Shane McMahon that replaced him and thus became the victor. In following months McMahon was propositioned by The Miz, to become his tag team partner. Following weeks of nagging McMahon finally agreed.

At Royal Rumble 2019 The Miz and McMahon became WWE Smackdown Tag Team champions but would lose them at Elimination Chamber the next month. In a final championship match at Fastlane, but were unsuccessful in recapturing the titles.

Following their match, McMahon heinously turned on The Miz, (watch the video below). Since then McMahon has been excellent as a heel character.

Their match at WrestleMania 35 was fast-paced and action-packed. Fans witnessed Geroge Mizanin step into the ring to protect his son and an arguably controversial match ending. The SmackDown episode following WrestleMania was eventful when Shane McMahon would cut an excellent promo which involved humiliating ring announcer Greg Hamilton. Whatever happens in the near future The Miz will be a crucial factor.
