On April 15, 2018, during the Superstar Shake-up, Miz was traded to SmackDown. This ended The Miz’s tenure on Raw and broke up The Miztourage.

While The Miztourage went on to become very successful at one point, winning the Raw Tag Team Championships in the process, The Miz tried to make it big on SmackDown.

While he got into good feuds with Daniel Bryan and even won the SmackDown Tag Team Championship with Shane McMahon, he didn’t quite get as over as he already was on Raw before the switch.

Now, almost exactly a year later, The Miz returns to Raw. This could be seen as WWE realizing their mistake of moving Miz to the blue brand for just one major feud with Daniel Bryan, and then getting him back on the red brand where he can help the show’s ratings.

What was surprising is that Shane McMahon personally came out to move The Miz from SmackDown to Raw, and the two got into a brawl afterward, which saw The Miz get busted open.

What we would like to see in the days to come is whether The Miztourage will be getting back together or not.
