WWE Royal Rumble 2019: 5 Reasons Why The Miz & Shane McMahon Will Win The SmackDown Tag Team Championship

They call themselves "The best tag team in the world". Last year, you wouldn't ever imagine that Shane McMahon and The Miz would become allies in the unlikeliest of scenarios. It all started in the WWE World Cup tournament. A tournament filled with only American superstars.

The final saw The Miz go up against his old foe Dolph Ziggler, and he was injured mid-match and Ziggler was about to win by default. However, Shane McMahon refused to let that happen and ended up entering himself into the tournament, going on to win the entire thing.

It was controversial, and at the time, frankly quite stupid. However, it did result in The Miz and Shane McMahon's alliance, and that's been nothing short of entertaining. So in hindsight, atleast something good came out of it.

Despite only wrestling as a tag team against some enhancement talent (and losing at one point), The Miz & Shane McMahon will be challenging The Bar for the SmackDown Tag Team Championships. Let's look at five reasons why "The Best Tag Team In The World" will be walking out as champions.

#5. To test The Miz as a babyface champion

Believe it or not, there was actually a period of time where The Miz was a babyface, but it flopped hard and he turned back heel, a role which suits him perfectly. However, WWE has chosen to take the interesting rout of having him be a babyface again, and we respect creative for taking the risk.

The Miz hasn't done all too bad as a babyface so far, because he is essentially the same character, he just doesn't direct his insults towards the crowd anymore. While we all know that The Miz can be a great heel world champion even now, WWE likely want to test the waters with how he does with a babyface title run.
