3 Things WWE made clear on SmackDown Live this week (20 August 2019)

#2 The Miz is likely to challenge the Intercontinental Champion Nakamura

The Miz had a rivalry with Dolph Ziggler but the feud is probably over. While Ziggler faced Roman Reigns on RAW, The Miz fought in a tag team match. On SmackDown Live, WWE probably gave us a hint of a new rivalry on Miz TV.

Sami Zayn was the guest on Miz TV this week. Being a heel, Zayn started to insult the A-Lister and it looked like the former NXT Champion could be the next opponent for The Miz but we saw a twist. Zayn introduced Shinsuke Nakamura during the segment and things got interesting. Since Nakamura is not fluent in English, Zayn offered to become a mouthpiece for the champion. In fact, the segment ended with a vicious Kinshasa to the A-Lister.

It's a brilliant move as Nakamura could be propelled well with Sami Zayn. So far, it has been a subpar title reign for the King of Strong Style but it could change after this week. Judging by the Miz TV segment on SmackDown Live, the A-Lister could become the next challenger for Nakamura. The Miz is one of the most decorated Intercontinental Champions in WWE as he won the belt eight times, therefore, he could be aiming to recapture it at Clash of Champions.
