4.) Bray Wyatt vs. The Miz for the Intercontinental Championship
Whether you love The Miz or you hate him, you have to admit that he is on fire this year and he has taken his current heel run and made it into arguably his best work in recent years. His matches have been, pun intended, AWESOME and with the recent addition of his wife Maryse, he has an added unpredictability element to him.
Not only that, he is holding what many consider the stepping stone to the WWE World Championship: the Intercontinental Championship. The way I would book this feud: Bray starts to feel the desperation of needing a title, and he notices how The Miz uses Maryse to his advantage to keep retaining his belt. So, Bray Wyatt and The Wyatt Family do their “vigilante” justice by capturing Maryse! Bray goes on to do his cryptic promos, and somehow brainwashes Maryse into thinking that she is Sister Abigail!
This sets up a feud down the line, and Wyatt wants the Intercontinental Title on the line along with “Sister Abigail.” The mind games get to The Miz, allowing him to lose focus on the title picture, which will lead to Wyatt becoming the new Intercontinental champion. After Wyatt wins, he releases Maryse in a form of pity for The Miz.
This is a odd way to set up a feud, but if booked properly, it could work! While some won’t agree, The Miz is a veteran in the WWE! A rub from The Miz and an Intercontinental Title run could boost Bray Wyatt in a major way, and could set him up for a potential WWE Championship run down the road.
