The A-Lister presents Dean Ambrose with the Participation Award.

As Curt Hawkins might say, it’s time to face the facts: The Miz walked out of Survivor Series, WWE TLC and last week’s SmackDown LIVE with the Intercontinental Title still securely around his waist.

So who will be the next Superstar to try and knock The A-Lister into a B-List column? As SmackDown LIVE is the land of opportunity, the field has never been more wide open. Certainly Baron Corbin comes to mind, considering his success in recent brutal showdowns against Kalisto. Perhaps Luke Harper will look to conquer Miz and bring even more championship gold into the Wyatt Family fold. Or, in light of James Ellsworth’s interference last week, will Dean Ambrose vie for another crack at the illustrious title?

Whoever decides to step up, one thing is certain: The Miz continues to prove that he is a lot better at winning than everybody thinks he is, and knocking him off the mountaintop will not be a small task for any Superstar.

WWE Week rolls on with SmackDown LIVE tonight at 8/7 C, on USA Network.
