Yesterday WWE announced a new match for SummerSlam’s pre-show. Instead of defending his Intercontinental Championship on the main card, The Miz will team with Curtis Axel and Bo Dallas in a 6-man tag against Jason Jordan and The Hardys.
Needless to say, The Miz was very upset by his lackluster booking. Like any good man in 2017, he took his complaints to social media. He posted the following rant on Instagram:

“I blame @wwe #Raw General Manager @therealkurtangle for the #ICTitleNOT being defended at #Summerslam my goal has always been to make that title the most prestigious, most relevant title in all of sports entertainment. I think he saw I was succeeding at this goal and did what every head has tried to do. HOLD ME BACK. My message to you. Talent will always shine and your son is undeserving to even share the ring in a 6 man tag team match with me. I am Awesome. I proved it for the past 12 years and this will continue when I kick ur sons teeth in while the #Miztourage leaves the Hardys broken on the #SummerslamKickoff show. More people will be talking about me by the end of that night. See ya Sunday!”
These are some pretty heated words directed solely at Kurt Angle. Could this be the beginning of a post-SummerSlam feud? We can only guess, but this could be great. We thought that Jason Jordan would challenge the Miz for his IC belt on SummerSlam’s main card, but instead, we’re getting a 6-man tag match. Maybe this rant will lead to a future feud between the two.
