The Miz has been bottling up his frustrations for weeks, finally reaching boiling point on this week's RAW. During the tag team match between Awesome Truth and Authors of Pain, The A-Lister turned his back on his long-time friend R-Truth heralding his long-awaited heel turn. It was a heartbreaking betrayal that wrapped the entire arena in melancholy.
The Awesome One's heel turn has opened the doors for several enticing prospects and storylines on the red brand. From chasing a top title to joining a fearsome faction, a plethora of things could unfold on RAW in the coming weeks. Besides, he could also start a compelling feud with The Wyatt Sicks.
Let's look at four directions for The Miz on WWE RAW following his heel turn.
#4. The Miz could ally with The Final Testament
One of the biggest factors that played a catalyst in The Miz's heel turn was the Karrion Kross effect. Kross has been poisoning The A-Lister's mind for weeks, causing the latter to snap. Now that the 43-year-old has unleashed his dark side, he could join forces with The Final Testament.
The Awesome One could become a new member of the heel faction and dominate the landscape of RAW. His addition could rejuvenate The Final Testament and put the group in the spotlight. Not only will this accentuate The Miz's heel persona but will also establish Karrion Kross and his faction as a formidable force on the red brand.
Hence, the former Intercontinental Champion forming a potential alliance with Kross and The Authors of Pain will give rise to a fresh storyline on RAW, opening the doors for several exciting rivalries and feuds.
#3. The A-Lister could start a feud with Braun Strowman
Braun Strowman disparaging The Miz was another major factor that triggered the latter's heel turn. Strowman has been underestimating The A-Lister for a while, believing the veteran could not stand toe-to-toe with a force like Bronson Reed. Weeks of frustrations finally boiled over, resulting in the 43-year-old turning heel.
With the embers of resentment still burning within him, The Miz could launch a vicious attack on the former Universal Champion, heralding a feud with him. He could look to annihilate Braun Strowman to punish the latter for belittling him. This could pave the way for a compelling feud between the two stars on RAW.
The chances of it happening are quite high now that Strowman is seemingly done with Reed after their Last Monster Standing Match on RAW.
#2. He could chase the Intercontinental Championship
The Miz's heel turn has opened the possibility for several intriguing feuds and one of those could be with Jey Uso. The A-Lister could pursue the Intercontinental Championship, a title that once adorned his shoulders. He could look to reclaim the coveted title and once again rise to the top.
This could give fans a compelling storyline on Monday Night RAW, keeping them on the edge of their seats. Jey Uso is set to defend his title against Xavier Woods next week. Following that, The Awesome One could challenge him for the gold, leading to a fresh feud on the roster.
This will rejuvenate the mid-card division on Monday Night RAW and pave the way for several interesting things.
#1. He could be the next victim of The Wyatt Sicks
The Wyatt Sicks has been lurking in the shadows awaiting their next prey. The hypothesis that the uncanny faction targets those who betray their families or friends makes The Miz a primary target. In their latest vignette on RAW, there were phrases like "We see your intent," "Angering festering into rage," and "Do not go down this path."
The Wyatt Sicks used these phrases to refer to an unknown superstar just when The A-Lister was on the cusp of his turn. Therefore, Uncle Howdy and his group may have already teased the 43-year-old as their next prey. They could go after the former Intercontinental Champion on RAW in the coming weeks.
This could lead to an intriguing feud where The Miz could team up with a stable like The Final Testament or American Made to battle The Wyatt Sicks.
