WWE Six-Pack: The Miz Steals the Show
By Mike Janela
In our weekly WWE Sixpack review, The Miz kept improving, while we also pick our match of the week, biggest loser and more.
Perhaps sensing from fans and critics that it was being lapped in both wrestling and storytelling, Raw came out of the gates Monday with an immediate match, pitting United States champion Roman Reigns against Rusev in a rematch from their Clash of Champions battle.
It showed Raw trying to take a page from its Tuesday counterpart: show more action and get to it quickly.

Still, Smackdown once again turned in the better week. It developed existing stories, delivered a better in-ring product, and tried something different from a storyline perspective. Having The Miz operating at a career-best level doesn’t hurt either. We’ll cover it all here shortly.
That’s not to say Raw didn’t have its moments. Stephanie McMahon returned to form with a brilliant promo, while New Day showed what we hope is the slightest precursor to some upcoming changes.
There was something for everyone between the Red and Blue brands this week. So let’s get to the weekly sixpack of awards, including Promo of the Week, Biggest Winner and Loser, Worst Nitpick, and Favorite Moment. But first, let’s start off with the Match of the Week.
