Loser: The Miz

The Miz was heeling it up, as usual, cutting one of his characteristically good promos and setting up the rivalry with Daniel Bryan that fans have waited to see for two years.

Unfortunately, he brought his infant daughter into the promo with him. If you're trying to get heel heat, showing that you love babies isn't the best thing to do. The whole thing felt incongruent.

It's a minor slight and not damaging in the slightest to The Miz, but ultimately the oversight meant that the promo didn't serve its purpose.
