Is the Miz Building For a Feud With A Debuting NXT Star?

The Miz has been great since earning the Intercontinental Championship on SmackDown, and his weekly antics alongside Maryse have been a highlight of the weekly show.

“Great,” but perhaps not a “Perfect 10.”

Tye Dillinger, asked by a fan about who he’d like to wrestle, said that the Miz could use a “slap in the mouth.” The Miz responded that the big leagues have much tougher rankings than NXT.

Things escalated from there.

What do you think, should Tye be the Miz’s next opponent for the Intercontinental Title? Dillinger got over in a big way as a result of his high-profile match at NXT TakeOver: Toronto, and the “10” chants have carried themselves all the way up to the main roster, even at unassuming SmackDown shows.

If Tye does not make a Royal Rumble debut at #10, man, I don’t even know.

Dillinger’s been one of the most consistent wrestlers in recent NXT shows, and it looks like the Perfect 10 gimmick was exactly what he needed to finally put it all together. We’d love to see him hit the main roster soon, and an IC title feud is as terrific a way to do it as any.

After all, with Dolph out of the picture, who else would the Miz take on?
