The Miz vs Sami Zayn for the WWE Intercontinental Championship
We have another cross-brand title match as the Miz will defend his newly won Intercontinental title against Sami Zayn. This was originally supposed to be Dolph Ziggler vs Zayn, but this admittedly makes more sense as the Miz is a jerk and Sami is not. Simple as that.
A Zayn title victory really feels like it should have happened by now. He’s one of the best underdogs WWE has ever had and his NXT title run was superb. Now that he’s got yet another shot at the Intercontinental title, will he finally cash in? Well, no. Probably not.
A Zayn victory would mean the Intercontinental title would come over to Raw, and unless the United States title could find its way over to SmackDown, it just wouldn’t make any sense. It would leave SmackDown without a mid-card men’s title, while Raw would have two. So basically, anyone not in the World title picture and not in a tag team would be out of luck . That doesn’t make any sense.
The Miz will find a way to retain this somehow and Zayn will come up short once again. Your time will come Sami. One day.
