The Miz and John Morrison executed a weird promo on WWE Raw: January 18th, 2021. The segment included Gillberg and an overweight version of Drew McIntyre.
Both Miz and Morrison argued at various points during the segment. Once it was about the bad acting skills of the fake McIntyre. Gillberg, on the other hand, was imitating Goldberg throughout the segment.

Now, if there’s one thing that the WWE Universe can count on, it’s the fan reactions to the segments. The audience had a mixed and powerful reaction to The Miz and John Morrison’s segment.

The overall verdict for the WWE Raw segment
The company could have created a better segment considering both Superstars are hard-working pro-wrestlers. It seemed a bit stretched in terms of creative writing.
WWE doesn’t have limited options for bringing someone back. Some fans called out WWE for writing this segment for The Miz and John Morrison.
I feel bad for Miz and Morrison for having to be a part of this.

It is unlikely that McIntyre will fall considering WWE is possibly booking Goldberg because of the lack of Superstars on the roster. However, if The Miz cashes in his Money in the Bank contract regardless of who wins, then WWE might have plans of making the title change hands more than once that night.
Who do you think will win the Royal Rumble 2021: WWE Championship match? Let us know in the comments below.
