Mike Johnson revealed on the PW Insider “Tip Sheet” that he believes The Miz will go over Daniel Bryan at Super Showdown and become the #1 contender to the WWE Title. His rationale is that the WWE is very happy with Bryan’s current role as an “attraction” as has no plans to push him to the main event. Here’s the quote from Johnson:

Daniel Bryan is not getting a big push at the moment and I don’t foresee that changing anytime soon. The company seems very happy having him in his current slot on the SmackDown roster. I expect this will be an entertaining match, as was their SummerSlam bout, but in the end, Miz has the future title shot. I just don’t have the faith in WWE that they will push Bryan harder unless the crowd revolts and demands it, which thus far, we have seen no indication of happening.

If the rumor holds true, it won’t be long before The Miz ascends back to the main event, and the fans may be waiting quite a while before Daniel Bryan sniffs a world title shot.
