Yes, The Miz should walk into WrestleMania as WWE Champion but it would be foolhardy to make the argument that he needs to retain the title at the pay-per-view. No, WrestleMania should be the site of Drew McIntyre's big win, where he becomes WWE Champion in front of a 25000-strong crowd. It's something he was deprived of at WrestleMania last year. It is something he deserves.
Why did The Miz become WWE Champion at Elimination Chamber 2021?
As unpopular as the idea of making The Miz the WWE Champion at Elimination Chamber was, it serves a purpose. Believe it or not, it may be to Drew McIntyre's benefit. The chase of the dominant challenger to overthrow the corrupt, vicious heel Champion has been the premise for many a movie.
Yes, The Miz should carry the WWE Championship no longer than WrestleMania. That is enough time for a maestro of heel heat like him to ruffle as many feathers as he needs.
