WWE SmackDown: 3 things we are glad didn’t happen on this week’s episode (January 22, 2019)

#2 The Miz beat Cesaro

The Bar took their revenge from last week

Last week The Miz threw a birthday bash for his new tag team partner, Shane McMahon, in the middle of the ring. It turned into an argument with The Bar, and later a match between The Miz and Sheamus.

Even though The Miz was not ready and not dressed to compete in a match, he still managed to beat the Celtic Warrior after some distractions, and embarrassed The Bar.

This week The Miz took on the other member of The Bar, Cesaro. Cesaro is one of the best and strongest wrestlers on SmackDown Live today, and thankfully WWE let him win this match, which did not decrease the wrestler’s image.

Even though this feud hasn’t kicked off too well or doesn’t seem too promising, as it seems way too goofy, it was a smart move to have The Miz beat Sheamus and lose to Cesaro rather than have it the other way around.

One will also have to wait and see how Shane performs in the match at the Royal Rumble, as he hasn’t really competed in a good match against a threatening opponent for quite some time now.
