Analyzing The Top 5 Contenders For AJ Styles' WWE Championship

#2 The Miz

The final step to make The Miz a Star?

The Miz is the best heel in the company without a doubt. He really is must-see TV and every time he does anything on Raw or Smackdown, the crowd latches on to every little thing word he utters, or ever single move he makes.

He has been the best thing about WWE television for a while, and now what they need to do is give him another reign with the biggest strap in the company.

Considering how long The Miz has been fighting for the Intercontinental belt, it is a good thing that he has been separated from the belt and drafted to Smackdown.

He worked wonders for the IC belt, and the logical step up is to go at it with Styles for the WWE Championship.

The Miz's character and motivations are established, and he doesn't really need to grow into anything at the moment. Styles would be the perfect 'purist' of wrestling against The Miz, who just lives in a delusion that he is better.

This dynamic can play out absolutely wonderfully and The Miz and Styles can work magic on the mic and in the ring.

This would actually be a very interesting direction for WWE, and one that can generate buzz and some great content.
