WWE's annual Money in the Bank per-per-view event takes place this Sunday, once again featuring two Money in the Bank ladder matches: one men's and one women's. Looking at potential winners for the men's ladder match, one stands out more than the rest as the perfect man to win the briefcase, and it wouldn't be his first time.
1.An unjust ending to his first WWE Championship run?
The Miz won the Money in the Bank ladder match back in 2010 before cashing in on Randy Orton to win the WWE Championship. This was the A-Lister's first main event push, one which many may say was an unsuccessful one and while he did main event Wrestlemania 27 defending his WWE title against John Cena, the match only really served as a purpose to set up Cena's 'Mania match with The Rock the following year. After this, Miz fell back down into the mid-card.
You could say this was an unjust end to his WWE title run, being a truly despised heel champion at the time and having his Wrestlemania moment overshadowed by Dwayne and Cena's little tiff, only then to lose his WWE Championship to Big Match John the following pay-per-view. Miz deserved better and he's spent the next seven years showing them why.
2.Top heel in the WWE?
In 2018, it's a different Miz, while he showed flashes of good heel work back in 2010, the last two years has seen him step up his game even further and he's shown himself to be one of the top heels in wrestling today.
During his time in the mid-card Miz has amassed eight Intercontinental Championship reigns, second only all time to Chris Jericho. You could argue that he has been the best Intercontinental champion in the past decade at least. Making the title relevant, it always seemed important to him when it was around his waist.
This is why eight years after his first, now is the time for Miz to win the Money in the Bank contract for the second time in his career. The briefcase is always better suited to being in the hands of a heel and Miz is the ideal man to hold it. Out of the four heels competing in this year's ladder match the A-Lister fits the Mr. Money in the Bank mold the most. As Samoa Joe is the other top level heel in the match and isn't the kind of guy who needs the briefcase to be considered a threat in the WWE World Championship picture, as a true monster heel he can be a contender anytime and I think should be the next challenger to AJ Styles after Nakamura.
3.A brilliant main event feud ready to go
Another reason that Miz winning the contract this weekend would be the best outcome is that he already has a great main event feud he can go into which I would personally like to see main event Wrestlemania. Miz's rivalry with Daniel Bryan while he was the General Manager of Smackdown gave us some great and memorable moments in the last couple of years, including that now iconic Talking Smack promo, the best the WWE has seen in sometime and of Miz's career.
But their rivalry has been going on a lot longer than that, stretching all the way back to 2010 when Bryan was The Miz's rookie on the first season of NXT. The two have always worked well together and the worst part about their feud while Bryan was the GM of the Blue Brand was that they could never settle their differences in the ring as Bryan was not medically cleared to wrestle. But now the leader of the Yes Movement is out of retirement what better way to conclude this near decade long rivalry than with a feud over the WWE World Championship and a Wrestlemania main event next year (this time without being overshadowed by Cena and The Rock) hopefully with Bryan winning the Royal Rumble on the way.
So in short The Miz should win the Money in the Bank contract because he deserves it. As one of the top performers in the WWE today he deserves one more chance at being WWE Champion and I can't wait to see what he will do with it when he does.
Do you think The Miz should leave this weekend as Mr. Money in the Bank? If not who shoud? Let us know in the comments down below...
