#4 The Miz is deprived of a World Title reign
Trending
Few people have had as much of a resurgence in their careers since the brand split as The Miz, who has turned everything he’s touched into gold.
While he’s had his supporters for years, this is the first time in a long while that a good bulk of the WWE Universe is clamouring to see him in a main event position on a regular basis again.
WWE should have capitalised on that by keeping him on SmackDown, where, again, people are bigger fish in a smaller pond.
Even if it weren’t as big of a deal of him being a more important star with less competition, the more influential aspect of why SmackDown is a better fit for him is the sheer lack of title opportunities anybody will see on Raw.
With Brock Lesnar holding the Championship, one of two things will happen: either he will drop it at SummerSlam (meaning only one person gets a title shot from WrestleMania until August) or he’ll keep it until next year’s WrestleMania (wherein only four people at most will fight for the belt at SummerSlam, Survivor Series and Royal Rumble)
Does anyone think for a second that The Miz is going to not only get a shot at Brock Lesnar but also defeat him? Absolutely not! Those few spots will be reserved for Roman Reigns, Finn Balor and maybe Braun Strowman.
Meanwhile, The Miz will spend months on end being a workhorse who can win the Intercontinental Championship for the seventh time, at best, which is great, but not the same as winning the Universal Championship for the first time.
