#3 Could Miz be the one to help Reigns get over?

For better or for worse, John Cena vs. Roman Reigns is now in the WWE history books. Perhaps the match wasn't quite what Vince McMahon initially had in mind when he thought up the idea, but at least the Big Dog can basically say that he is now the new franchise piece, at least while Cena attempts to break into Hollywood.

Obviously, the WWE Universe has been treating this rivalry a lot different compared to the WWE management. While some of the promo segments leading up to No Mercy felt pretty raw and fresh, the match itself was a huge disappointment. The problem was that try as the bookers might, fans just didn't really care enough for Roman's victory to bring about any real change.

In fact, fans seemed to be more behind Cena than anything, leaving Roman's chances of finally getting over as a babyface pretty much in tatters. If beating John Cena clean isn't going to do it for you, what will?

Interestingly enough, fans might have gotten an answer to this question on Monday night. Reigns was Miz's guest on the Miz TV segment this week and together they managed to build quite the segment. One might even argue that Roman achieved more in this one scene with the IC champ than he did over the span of three weeks with Cena.

Roman's answers, while still a little shaky, felt more heartfelt and elicited a much bigger reaction from the fans compared to anything he has managed before. Most of this has to be put down to The Miz's extraordinary ability to get whoever he is working with over. There is just something about the way he carries himself during talking segments that helps everyone around him, and the WWE would be foolish not to capitalise on this.

Judging by the ending to the match on Monday, the program between Reigns and Miz looks to be continuing, maybe even leading to a Shield reunion at some point down the road. The Miz needs to be given enough time to see what he can do with Roman, but if he does manage to turn fans around, he deserves one hell of an Employee of the Year medal.
