WWE's Tuesday night program Main Event got off to an interesting start with a segment of Miz TV. The Miz brought out his partner in crime, Damien Sandow, dressed up as US Champ Sheamus. Sandeamus then proceeded to hand over his tiny replica US belt to the Miz before the real Sheamus showed up to derail the skit. Sheamus is very likable, but sometimes he gets a bit draggy on the mic. Fortunately he ended the segment like he always does- with a bit of the old ultra-violence. After a brogue kick to Sandow's face, the announcers mentioned a title match between Sheamus and the Miz at Hell in a Cell.
While the booking between the Miz and Dolph Ziggler was hot and intense, Cesaro versus Sheamus didn't really draw much heat. Perhaps WWE Creative is trying to spread the success by pulling a switch on the two rivalries.
Sheamus feuding with the Miz ain't quite the same, but with a little time, and a lot more spotlight on Damien Sandow, they might be able to put lipstick on a pig, so to speak.
The best part of Tuesday night's skit was Sandow's Scottish accent, in light of the fact that Sheamus is Irish. It's the little details that he's so good at (and frankly, what WWE these days is really not good at). Sandow could probably do an awesome Irish accent, but it's way funnier that he didn't.
The Miz also continues to do solid work as a heel, though he might not be quite strong enough to carry Sheamus. Maybe a couple of tag team matches between Ziggler/Sheamus and Miz/Mizdow/Cesaro would give everyone something to do.
