Will Cole-Ricochet beat out Gargano-Ciampa for match of the night or not?

both matches involving the Undisputed ERA I expect big things from

O'Reilly/Strong & Moustache Mountain seem to have real good chemistry in the ring together... that'll be a top level tag match

on a note for SummerSlam tomorrow night...

I REALLY wish Miz/Bryan had a championship attached to it

we know what we're going to get from those guys in the ring... but the build was definitely main event worthy

that's a match definitely capable of ending 1 of the big 4 shows

Miz/Bryan absolutely does not need a title. It is literally one of the only things that main roster WWE is doing right right now. I really wish WWE took lessons from the Bryan/Miz match.

- Actually remembered history and long-term storytelling. Instead of just being like "this feud was built over a month or two", they went back to NXT Bryan and Miz.
- Released a hype video package on the Smackdown before the PPV, showing the history for casual fans, hitting all the important plot points.
- Looser script promos. Namely, Miz's Talking Smack promo. That promo is probably one of the best.
- Actually held off on these two fighting each other until the PPV, while teasing it along the way.

I agree with all of your points... but a title would just give it that little extra bump

I got the WWEN on waiting for the NXT show to start and they were showing a bit from the Miz collections and they showed that Talking Smack promo... it was all over the Intercontinental Championship

them battling over the IC Title and who brings it the most prestige could bump the feud up that much more

Ricochet better bulk up a bit before he gets cornholed into the cruiserweight division

ETA: a la Austin Aries

They need to do something with those guys. An invasion angle or something. Let them tangle up with the main roster folks.

I think they are planning that for Mania.

Miz wins tomorrow and then feuds with AJ after he is done with Samoa Joe. Miz eventually wins WWE Championship around the end of the year. Daniel Bryan gets eliminated in the Royal Rumble by some type of Miz distraction. Daniel Bryan then wins at Elimination Chamber to become the #1 contender for Miz's WWE Championship at Wrestlemania.
