Two of SmackDown's most exciting Superstars put on a fantastic performance during the Survivor Series Dual Brand Battle Royal. Dominik Mysterio and Chad Gable were on fire, making it to, what they assumed was the final two of the bout. However, when The Miz was tossed to the floor, he wasn't eliminated.

After taking a series of nasty suplexes, Mysterio managed to turn things around, rocking the former Triple Crown Tag Team Champion with a 619 and eliminating him. However, he celebrated a little early, and The Miz managed to toss him over the ropes. Mr. Money in the Bank picked up quite a victory on his quest to prove himself as the Face of the USA Network.

Is this the last time we'll see The Miz tonight, or will he decide to steal the WWE Championship from Drew McIntyre at some point tonight? If he does, this victory tonight could help push him into another win.
