If there’s someone who has had a whirlwind couple of weeks, it’s The Miz. His tag team partner, R-Truth, started to book him in matches without consultation. That led to frustration and some convincing to ditch him by Karrion Kross.
After weeks of mind games, he dumped R-Truth, leading to a grudge match loss on the October 14 edition of Raw. He thought his problems were over, as evident by his cheery presence ringside with Kross and Scarlett last night. That’s when The Wyatt Sicks appeared, attacking The Final Testament, and leaving The Miz in the ring.
Uncle Howdy was about to strike when Paul Ellering sacrificed himself to the Mandible Claw. Afterward, The Miz attempted to run from all the commotion, but Kross forced him to deal with the situation. Will The Miz help out the Final Testament or will he leave them to deal with Uncle Howdy and his crew alone?
The Miz Has a Point in Not Helping
R-Truth is one of the most beloved wrestlers in WWE. However, he tends to get confused and make situations worse, leading to frustration. It’s perfectly reasonable why The Miz initially rejected helping the Final Testament.
To him, he was doing the right thing. Kross convinced him that R-Truth was holding him back from becoming who he used to be – a champion. He took care of that problem so, in his mind, his work with them is done.
Ellering sacrificed himself for him, knowing that the fight shouldn’t happen with him involved. This isn’t The Miz doing his typical heel antics, this is Miz knowing that his services should no longer be needed.
Uncle Howdy Targeted The Final Testament For a Reason
Whenever Uncle Howdy and the Wyatt Sicks attack someone, it’s for good reason. They targeted American Made due to their treatment of the Alpha Academy, more specifically Chad Gable abandoning his family. From Howdy’s point of view, The Miz turned his back on R-Truth.
He wouldn’t have done it if it wasn’t for Kross convincing him to do so. That’s why they attacked all of them together.
The domino effect starts with Kross pushing Miz, something that Howdy deems worthy of a betrayal. Their actions caused a long-time friendship to be broken apart, so the Wyatt Sicks have to punish them for what they’ve done.
Karrion Kross Will Keep The Miz in Line
The Miz might think it could be easy to slink himself out of this situation but doing so could prove a lot harder than it seems. Kross had a good point, noting that Ellering sacrificed himself for The Miz, causing a valuable member of the faction to be out of the equation.
He knows that The Miz has to pay a tremendous debt to be in his good graces, so facing the Wyatt Sicks with him is the best thing to do. After all, he is also their target.
His presence at ringside was what convinced the Wyatt Sicks to appear in the first place. The Miz could try to get himself out of the situation, but with multiple people from two factions wanting a piece of him, he’ll have to put in some work for everything to end well.
