Miz Vs. Cena Vs. Rock


In terms of the actual match, it is not a 3-way. Miz will defend his WWE title against John Cena at Wrestlemania. In terms of how they are building things, Miz, Cena, and The Rock are all at each other's throats. More specifically, it is a war of the words between all three, with Miz laying out Cena here and there.

Since so many other people are talking about this thing, which has proven to be a draw for the WWE, I'll just toss in my two bits. First of all, The Rock's return was great. He still had it. But last week? Didn't like it. From referring to himself in the 3rd person to "Me! Me! Me!" just like that. I can understand that The Rock was trying to make it more personal, not like an absolute entertaining bash of someone like he is famous for, but it just didn't work that well. Cena's "Final KO", his response, was pretty poorly delivered. His execution just lacked either entertainment or even real emotion. The words were not too bad. The bit about The Rock just needing to show up to prove he is The People's Champ was good.

Then that segment got saved. Miz came out and laid out Cena. I mentioned before about emotion, and Miz had it in his promo. And mocking The Rock? Added gold. I am not one of those fans who says whoever is entertaining in a feud should be the one to win a feud. The heel is often the one who has to be annoying, and thus often look entertaining to many, for the fans to want to see him or her get it from the face. The face has to hold back to allow the heel to shine. Combine that with the fact that Miz's reign has included several title defenses already, I still wouldn't mind too much if he loses to Cena at Wrestlemania. Sooner or later, Cena will win it. But as far as the build goes, I wouldn't say Miz is looking as forgotten as some might want to say. He's still got a ton of momentum.
