#2 Daniel Bryan vs. The Miz
This one borrows from how un-alike Daniel Bryan and the Miz actually are. One made his way through the unforgiving grind of the ‘bingo halls’ and truly sparked off a revolution – hand in glove with the fans – to finally earn a main event berth at WrestleMania. The other wedged his way into the spotlight after getting picked up from a reality show.
In an industry that is notoriously draconian when it comes to the concept of paying dues, the Miz – on paper at least – is everything that the fans love to hate. Arrogant, unapologetic for his success and entirely undeserving of the spotlight that he’s enjoyed. Daniel Bryan on the other hand, confirms every sepia-tinged, romantic filter that fans hold before their eyes when they dream up the perfect babyface.
It certainly helps that the two have constantly been at each other’s throats ever since the brand split too. The Miz’s no holds barred approach when it comes to mic work can provide an edge to the build-up while Bryan's superior ring dexterity can help polish off the storyline by putting on a heck of a match.
Book it, Vince.
