WWE Royal Rumble 2017: 3 Reasons the Miz Should Win

Does his recent loss of the Intercontinental Championship foreshadow The Miz moving onto bigger and better things ahead of WrestleMania?

WrestleMania season is almost upon us, and with only weeks to wait before the 2017 Royal Rumble, the WWE Universe has grown rampant with speculation as to who will be headlining the 33rd annual Showcase of the Immortals in April.

We already know that Roman Reigns and Kevin Owens will duke it out for the WWE Universal Championship on the night, and AJ Styles and John Cena will be laying it all on the line for the WWE Title, so in all likeliness, whoever does win the Royal Rumble match will probably be going head-to-head with one of those four individuals.

Over the month, you’ll see several stars stepping forward to proclaim their intentions at the Rumble, but one man who hasn’t exactly let his status be known is The Miz.

It’s no surprise, given that the A-lister had been carrying the WWE Intercontinental Championship until Dean Ambrose captured it on the first SmackDown Live of the New Year, a development that many didn’t anticipate so close to the Royal Rumble.

Now that he is without championship gold, however, there is certainly a case to be made for The Miz to make the best of a bad situation, and win the Royal Rumble match just to spite those who’ve held him back. Let’s take a look.
