The Miz Vs. Rey Mysterio Vs. Sin Cara Vs. Cody Rhodes

This is the kind of multi-man midcard title feud I like. It kind of reminds me of what you would see a decade ago. It isn't four guys randomly getting into a feud for the title. Cody Rhodes and Sin Cara have been feuding for a while over Sin Cara's mask. Rey Mysterio also wears a mask, so that brings him into the picture. Rey Mysterio was also given a somewhat random shot at Miz's Intercontinental Championship at Summerslam. Bring Miz into the mix. Put it all together, you have a title match for Night of Champions. Could it have been developed a little better? Yes, but this is still better build for a midcard title match than I would have expected. If you look over at what is going on with the United States title, you would see no real build at all. They will find a contender and give that guy a shot. Simple. But who should win the Intercontinental title?

Rey Mysterio has held this title before. If they really can't think of anything else for him to do, they might put it on him, but I don't think they should. He doesn't need it. If the World's Heavyweight Championship was on a heel, Rey would definitely be a contender for that. But it would be annoying to put it on Rey when you realize that the current IC Champion and previous holder of the title were both former World Champions, as well. How about giving a midcard title to a true midcarder?

I have to admit, Cody Rhodes looked good holding the title on Raw. I'm not a big fan of the guy, but the belt seems to just fit him. It could be because he held it for so long. He has two reigns with it already. Does he need a third so soon? That would mean the title goes from a heel to another heel. It is not unthinkable for it to happen, but I don't see why it should.

If the title is going to change hands, I think it should go to Sin Cara. This is a guy they should want to build into a star. Rey Mysterio will not be around for decades and decades to come. Sin Cara is the guy to build to follow him. It is time to get to work on his title resume. He has never held a title in the WWE. If he does win the title, that would give his feud with Cody Rhodes more merit. I could also see them putting the title on Rhodes first, still continuing the feud between the two, and leading up to a "Title vs. Mask" match. However it goes, the title should go to Sin Cara to build him up properly.

Miz just won the title a few weeks ago. He is the incumbent. If they cannot come up with a reason to put the title on someone else, no reason to take it off of Miz. There are still other midcard faces for him to feud with. Seeing as how easily Miz got lost in the shuffle earlier in the year, you might worry about what will become of him without the title.

Out of the four men in this match, I would say either Miz or Sin Cara should win. Cody Rhodes regaining it to continue the feud with Sin Cara would also make sense. I don't see Rey Mysterio winning it. No good reason for it. If I really had to choose one, I would say Miz retains.
