5 WWE SmackDown Stars That Should Be Moved to Raw
By Jay Sichler
3-2. Maryse and The Miz
Another problem that RAW has is the lack of their mid-card. The brand has mid-card stars like Sami Zayn, Cesaro, and Sheamus but they haven’t used them to their potential. However, on Smackdown Live their mid-card has been a key part as to why the show has been better.
One of those stars who has helped RAW’s mid-card is the combination of The Miz and Maryse. They have become two of the biggest steals in the draft so far. The A-List couple brought the Intercontinental Championship to Tuesday nights and helped bring relevance back to the belt.
Their recent feud with Dolph Ziggler was one of the best programs the WWE has had in recent memory. Miz and Ziggler stole the show at No Mercy, having the match of the night, and made the Intercontinental Championship relevant again.
The two are set to battle one more time to conclude their rivalry, with the feeling that Ziggler will once again win. However, this would leave Miz and Maryse with nothing to do.
There was a belief that the former Tough Enough star could feud with Daniel Bryan, resulting in a match at WrestleMania. However, it seems that Bryan will not be able to clear the physical to get back in the ring, thus eliminating those plans.
With that in mind, The Miz and Maryse would be better off heading to Monday nights. Miz could easily enter feuds with the likes of Sami Zayn, Cesaro, or one batting Roman Reigns for the United States Championship.
As much as WWE has tried, they still can’t get Reigns over with the fans. A great idea would be pairing him against the most hated star in WWE, which could finally help get Roman over with the fans.
With their program with Ziggler coming to an end soon, it might be time for The A-List Couple to bring their talents over to the Flagship Show.
