There’s finally some big developments going on with The Miz and Dexter, so we’ll see
where all of that is headed.
We’ll also check out some potential bad news for Austin Theory
Let’s start things off with The Miz and Dexter’s Story
Dexter first arrived on Raw back in August
Dexter’s return was unique because within the storyline, he isn’t signed to WWE
All of his appearances since august have been him trespassing on WWE grounds and getting
himself arrested non stop
But there seemed to be one man he was after, and that was The Miz
So that whole mystery of why Dexter was going after the Miz was great for a few weeks
But when they started to do the same exact sort of segment between The Miz and Dexter
week after week with the story not progressing at all, that started to become a big problem
and got fans to lose all interest in the story
If you’re gonna keep the story in the same exact place for two months, fans are naturally
gonna give up, and that’s what happened with this story from Mid August all the way
to Mid October
Just a whole lot of nothing happening in the story
But the Raw season premiere finally pushed the story forward
Shawn Michaels and Road Dogg booked a match for the following week on Raw, with the stipulation
being that if Dexter defeats the Miz, he’ll officially get a WWE contract
So we fast forward to the following week on Raw
The Miz is seen trying to fake an injury, but eventually gets busted faking it
So Dexter makes his way to the ring only to get assaulted by The Miz
The Miz brutally attacks Dexter with a chair right on the ramp and that act gets the match
cancelled
So that upset a lot of fans as well.
The story has been absolutely dragging for months, it looks like we’re finally gonna
get a big story moment with this match and the match gets cancelled
So that just sucked the air out of the room for that storyline
Some fans also pointed out how it’s still hard to really look at Dexter as the babyface
He’s been stalking and invading The Miz’s home for months, you can argue that The Miz
is the hero here for finally getting revenge on his stalker
But there was something that was introduced this week that changes everything and still
pushed the story forward
And that was the introduction of Johnny Gargano into the storyline between The Miz and Dexter
Dexter is obviously a character that’s not gonna say much and not going to explain his
actions, so it’s always a great thing when someone can get in there and basically speak
on his behalf
And that’s what they did with Gargano
Gargano has a lot history with Dexter Lumis dating back to NXT, and he flat out told The
Miz that he knows what Dexter is after from him as well
He tells the Miz that he knows the “real” story between himself and Dexter
Johnny tells him that if he wants out of the match, he just has to tell everyone the truth
So even though we technically didn’t get that match between The Miz and Dexter, it
was still a good week for the story because of Gargano’s reveal
Now we understand what Dexter wants and that adds another layer of clarity to the story
The Miz is basically holding a secret all to himself.
Something that he’s been dishonest about and not revealing the truth about
Dexter, on the other hand, is aware of the truth and wants The Miz to come clean and
reveal whatever that secret is
If The Miz doesn’t reveal the truth, it looks like that’s what will keep Dexter
coming after him for the foreseeable future
And now even Johnny Gargano is aware of this hidden truth from the Miz too
So the pressure is on, the Miz now officially knows what Dexter wants and it’ll be up
to him to reveal it to stop Dexter
Some fans were wondering if Gargano and Dexter could be getting back together and starting
to slowly reform their NXT faction
Literally four of their members are already on Raw with Johnny, Dexter, Candice, and Austin
Theory
That’s definitely possible, but for now, It looks like Johnny was just used in order
to make that reveal and push the story forward which was so desperately needed
And maybe the match was delayed because they wanted to raise the stakes even more for a
match between Dexter and The Miz
Maybe now the stipulation could be WWE contract versus The Miz’s secret
If Dexter defeats the Miz, he gets his WWE contract and The Miz has to reveal this secret
that he’s been lying about
Then on the other hand, If The Miz wins, Dexter gets no contract with WWE and the secret will
stay intact
So maybe that was the reason for the delay in the match, just to add The Miz’s secret
into the mix
So it’s definitely been a rough few weeks for this story in recent memory, but the October
17th edition of Raw added a lot of new life to this story and made it intriguing once
again
Now we have to wait and find out about the eventual reveal of The Miz’s secret and
what he’s hiding that Dexter is so upset about

Some bad news has been going around for the 2022 Money In The Bank winner, Austin Theory
It’s been no secret at all that Austin Theory was one of Vince McMahon’s favorite young
superstars
Vince even made WWE appearances throughout late 2021 and early 2022 alongside Austin
Theory, really hammering the fact that this was his next top guy
Austin Theory became the youngest United States champion of all time, and on the same night
he lost that title, he became the youngest Money In The Bank winner of all time
Now ever since Theory become the contract holder, fans automatically assumed that WWE
might’ve just wrote themselves into a corner
Obviously, Roman isn’t losing the title anytime soon, so the overall threat of Austin
Theory successfully cashing in just isn’t there.
No one is scared of a cash in on Roman Reigns in this moment of time
So that fact is also what’s taking away from this Money In The Bank contract run for
Austin Theory
Now reports are claiming that WWE may have Austin Theory put the contract on the line
against other WWE superstars
And whenever you hear that a contract holder is putting it on the line, it basically means
the contract is changing hands
This was done most recently in 2020 with Otis
A lot of people forget that Otis legitimately won the Money In The Bank contract back then
But it was basically the same situation.
No one was scared of Otis cashing on either Braun Strowman or Roman Reigns, it just wasn’t
happening
So once they realized that mistake, Otis put the contract on the line against The Miz,
and the Miz would go over to Raw and strike a slimy deal with The Hurt Business to cash
in on Drew McIntyre
So to hear that Theory may put the contract on the line basically means that the contract
could be in fact changing hands
Even with a new contract holder, that still doesn’t change the fact that the contract
just isn’t a threat to Roman Reigns right now
Roman is most likely main eventing Wrestlemania 39 as champion, so if whoever the new contract
holder is tries cashing in before that, it’s probably gonna be unsuccessful
Especially with the entire Bloodline by Roman’s side, they’ll be jumping all over you before
you can even pin Roman for that three count
So it’s just a really difficult time to be a Money In The Bank holder right now when
one man has both world titles and he’s defended by four other men, it’s gonna be hard to
get to him
But we’ll see what WWE has planned for the rumored change of hands for the Money In The
Bank contract
