7. The Miz vs Triple H

For Daddy’s Love

To be clear, there is nothing wrong with the current storyline between Shane McMahon and The Miz. Despite it seemingly going on forever, Shane and The Miz have had a good run, occupying both in a feud that’s at least been interesting and served the very important role of making The Miz very relatable and sympathetic. It’s not easy for The Miz to be a face when he’s so talented a heel. This change is all about filling in some blanks and some weaknesses.

Shane McMahon became the best in the world at Crown Jewel. This was not a popular move and went a long way towards making Shane McMahon very unlikable. That said, come the match in question, he’s going to be a real crown favorite. Shane’s offense, his fast pace and the absolute inevitability of him jumping off something high simply makes his easy to cheer. In combination; Shane McMahon, quite simply, should not be the heel who beats down somebody as talented as The Miz.

So, let’s trade in Triple H, shall we?

Triple H is a great heel. One of the best. He faces Batista at WWE WrestleMania 35 in a match where, to be honest, nobody wins. With Batista working to put Balor over earlier in the night, Triple H could certainly be helping someone else and The Miz is perfect. Triple H is a bigger name than Shane McMahon, he is far more believable as a bad guy interfering to take over a best in the world tournament.

The Miz could also seriously up the pace of this match. Triple H is a slow wrestler. Even at his peak he was a slow, methodical wrestler. The Miz is not, though he’s not particularly fast paced either. Triple H as the heel offering a slow, boring beat down for The Miz to come back from is near perfect.

It would also give us two very high quality WrestleMania entrances. Wouldn’t that just be the best?
