2. Move to Raw, Feud with Roman Reigns for the US Title

One of the best things Miz has done over the past year was to make the IC title seem like a big deal. It was not only the great IC title matches that rekindled the prestige of the title. It was also the way the Miz held the title. He would often treat the title as his world and the whole point of his existence. Following his footsteps, other stars like Ziggler made their wish to hold the IC title a bigger deal.

Perhaps, he could pass on some of that oozing charisma to another mid-card title that has been suffering endlessly. Roman Reigns’ US title reign has been sad, to say the least. Not only is the title a background artifact in his case, it is hardly ever mentioned. However, things weren’t great for the title even before. Rusev held the title only to bash the American. That was why he wanted the title. When the Miz held the IC title, he made us feel that the title was all that he could ever want.

With the upcoming Royal Rumble, the seeds for this feud could be planted easily. We have reported rumors of Reigns potentially being in the Rumble. If that be the case, creative could use the match as a catalyst to kick off this feud. Miz could even request Bryan and Shane McMahon to trade him to Raw. That would allow someone like Sami Zayn or Cesaro to come to SmackDown where they would instantly be a main eventer.
