3. The Miz vs. Roman Reigns

It was somewhat surprising to see The Miz torn away from SmackDown Live. He had become arguably the brand’s top heel and looked in line for a WWE Championship chase down the line. I’m not convinced he gets the same opportunity on Raw, but there’s no doubting The Miz has put together some of the best work of his career over the past 12 months.

Now imagine pitting him with Roman Reigns, who gets a reaction like no other. A large percentage of the crowd loves to hate Reigns in spite of the WWE’s desire to push him as a babyface. Ironically, The Miz got cheered in his most recent feud against John Cena, despite putting together a great heel program.

Just as The Miz tapped into many fans’ frustrations with Cena during their WrestleMania feud, he could do the same with Reigns. While he’ll certainly draw cheers from areas of the crowd and boos elsewhere, it would create a unique dynamic between the two characters, one we’ve rarely seen.

The Miz is one of the few guys on the roster capable of going after Reigns while still coming across as a jerk. For the so-called “Must-See Superstar in WWE History”, this would certainly be a must-see rivalry.
