10 Potential Opponents for AJ Styles at SummerSlam

#5 The Miz

Let’s be completely fair and honest here, in the past several months, or to be exactly precise, ever since The Miz jumped ship to SmackDown Live as part of the 2018 WWE Superstar Shake-up, the eight-time WWE Intercontinental Champion’s momentum hasn’t been the same as it used to be in 2017.

The Miz’s rivalry against Daniel Bryan hasn’t exactly clicked with the WWE creative so far and the two men haven’t really engaged in a heated feud against each other so far, however, all of that could eventually change within the blink of an eye, if The Miz somehow manages to get a shot at Styles’ WWE Championship at SummerSlam, ahead of Bryan.

Look who just shut down all of Tony Khan's critics! More HERE.

I mean, for over the years The Miz has had the reputation of being one of the most cunning superstars in the WWE and imagine ‘The A-Lister’ using that to his advantage and eventually outsmarting Bryan in the run to subsequently get a shot at AJ Styles’ WWE Championship at SummerSlam.
