Mistake 3: The Miz squeaking out a win
The Miz is immensely more entertaining than Baron Corbin, but he's an established veteran who's been doing this for a long time. Baron Corbin is still very new. Now in the right place as United States Champion, he nevertheless still needs some momentum, and Survivor Series is the place to give it to him.
If the point of his title run is to see if he has what it takes to be a main event player sometime next year, he'll need to come off a few big wins and see if his act clicks. This would be the highest profile win of his reign to date.
Baron Corbin should find creative and dominant ways to deal with the Miztourage, then follow it up with a victory over the Miz, who will essentially be acting as the babyface in the match, to see if it gets him over any further.
