The Miz’s Next Opponent Is Booked, and He’s Unhappy

Just in case three in a week wasn’t enough. This week’s episode of SmackDown Live saw three different title defenses with the Tag Team Titles changing hands. In addition to all that, we saw some advancement in the story between Dean Ambrose and Intercontinental Champion the Miz. As you might expect, this is building towards a title match between the two of them.

It turns out that the match is going to be taking place even sooner than expected.

As announced on SmackDown Live, Miz will defend his title against Ambrose next week on the first episode of SmackDown Live in 2017.

I actually like this idea as these are two names who should be big deals in the Royal Rumble match. They don’t need to have the show bogged down by title matches which take away the bigger names from one of the most important matches of the year.

It helps that the title match should be entertaining, assuming Ambrose is the wild man that he should be for someone insulting his girlfriend like Miz did.
