The Miz's biggest foil before his WWE title win at Elimination Chamber was Bad Bunny. On the same PPV, he was slapped by the Puerto Rican celebrity. WWE loves to have celebrities in featured matches at WrestleMania since it brings some mainstream attention to the product.

WWE seems to have that hope for Bad Bunny, who is also the 24/7 Champion. With over 30 million Instagram followers, he has a big presence in the mainstream world.

Despite The Miz's WWE title win, he is scheduled to team up with John Morrison to face Bad Bunny and Damian Priest at WrestleMania 37. Sportskeeda's Matt Black wrote:

According to Sean Ross Sapp at Fightful Select, The Miz is scheduled to team with John Morrison to face Damian Priest and Bad Bunny. WWE has been planning this match since early February. Despite The Miz winning his second WWE Championship at the Elimination Chamber pay-per-view, those plans haven't changed.

We hope this is true because it's a better role for him. While he isn't an undeserving WWE Champion, there hasn't been much done in the last year to justify his presence in the marquee world title match at WrestleMania.
