After weeks of not having a match on Raw, Miz finally had a match this week. He won that match. The night before, he had a shot at the U.S. Championship. Didn't win that, obviously. And yet, I am still not seeing him going anywhere.
They didn't actually develop a storyline for the guy this week. He won the first "Beat The Clock" match, but he didn't end up getting the best time needed to feud with CM Punk for the title. They didn't actually bury him on Raw, but they didn't really make him look that interesting, either. As I have said before, this guy was more interesting back when he had the losing streak. He did beat Santino, but does that mean that feud will continue to be developed? I think it should. You could have Lord Tensai squash Santino to win the title, but I don't feel he needs that. Tensai already has something big going for him. Miz has nothing. At least holding a title would put some measure of interest into him.
Am I saying the WWE dropped the ball with Miz? This was never really a guy who was very over. They invested a lot into him to make him into something for other top names to work with and hyped him as if he was a draw, but the depush isn't really that shocking. He is a level above Jack Swagger and Dolph Ziggler, but he is not a major priority. I would say the guy was lucky to get the treatment he did get. They didn't really drop the ball with him. I think they got pretty much what they wanted. However, that doesn't mean you should waste him while you have him.
