Because Miz is a good heel and his title reigns are usually entertaining, in my book. Plus, the dude knows how to get heat from the crowd and even though he isn't a 5-star worker, he gets the job done in the ring.
I want Miz to hold on to the IC title just for a little longer, get a bit more heat and then drop the title at SummerSlam... Hopefully to Cesaro.
I'm tired of Miz, New Day and Charlotte. I'd prefer Ambrose keep the World title and I'm indifferent to the US title.
Only main roster tag team that I really like is Enzo and Cass, but I really don't want them to have the belts right now. Having them chasing the title while getting bogged down in an occasional feud... then after a time have them FINALLY win the belts will be better.
I really think Cesaro deserves an IC reign but we're unlikely to see it. Growing up, it tended to be the IC title matches that were better to watch than the world title matches and I'd be okay having Cesaro fill that role. I assume it'll be someone else though.
Sasha Banks over Charlotte.

As things stand at this very moment, Friday evening, three days before the draft and just about a week before the PPV, my take is this:
- Ambrose retains. There is no reason whatsoever for Ambrose to drop the belt and I can't imagine WWE being that ignorant (let alone stupid) to give it back to Roman Reigns immediately following his return. In my opinion, the fact that Ambrose cut one of his strongest promos (if not the best) yet this past Monday to me suggests that WWE are actually looking to let Ambrose run with it for just a bit longer, at least another month where perhaps they can do a one on one with him and Rollins...
- Rusev retains. To me, a no brainer. No desrespect to Ryder, but they haven't been building Rusev back to being a monster again to have him lose to freakin Ryder.
- Charlotte ain't defending anyway and this tag match announced for Battleground is just a clear indication that WWE are saving that big moment for Summerslam, where she finally drops it to Sasha. Been calling it for a few months now and it really ain't rocket science...
- New Day ain't defending either and, once more, I'll just repeat what I wrote a couple months back, about them carrying the gold till Summerslam where they will eventually drop it to Enzo and Cass. Now, perhaps WWE are going a different direction given that the Wyatts are now in the picture whereas Enzo and Cass are occupied in another feud but either way, once the record is broken, there is no doubt that the New Day are dropping them and I wouldn't be surprised if they break the team up afterwards...
This brings us to the Miz and the IC belt, which I feel is the only title change bound to happen at Battleground. For one, I've pretty much eliminated any other options above and, quite frankly, I don't think they gave Darren Young the Battle Royal win for nothing. Granted, they could always play the card that maybe he messes up and loses, that he wasn't properly prepared and whatnot but....nah, it makes more sense to me for Young to win the belt and run with it...

Would like to see Miz And Rusev retain. Easily 2 of my favorites. They kick ass on the mic.
They will retain, I'd be surprised if they didn't.
They're both facing 2 of the biggest jobbers so I'm sure they will unless WWE pulls a huge swerve
