I've heard it before, when I first got to the WWE the boys in the back treated me like a joke and they said I would never amount to anything. Well look at me now. I'm a multiple time tag team champion and a multiple time United States Champion, and on top of that I am Mr. Money in the Bank.

"I know a lot of you have been wondering 'How is The Miz going to cash in his money in the bank?' I have been wondering that myself. Having this oppertunity in my hand it a guarantee I will be the WWE champion... but that won't be enough. You see after all I have accomplished people still think I'm a joke and winning the WWE champion isn't going to change the mind of the haters.

"So I've been thinking how do I cash this in? Do I take advantage of a weakened champion and guarantee myself the WWE Championship? Or do I give my opponent time to prepare for me by giving him a couple of weeks notice of my cash in? Many people look at that an option as a risk. Well I don't. You see when I won the Money in the Bank breifcase I guaranteed myself a place in WWE history, not because I can take advantage of a weak opponent like Edge and CM Punk and Jack Swagger and Kane. No I guaranteed myself a WWE champion because I'm so good that all I need is one oppurtunity.

"I'm not a joke and every one will see that because at (PPV) I am cashing in my money in the bank against (champion). He'll have ample oppurtunity to prepare and heal up, but that's not going to matter because when he faces me he's not going to be facing a joke. He is going to be facing the future. The future not only of Monday Night RAW but of WWE. This guarantees me a WWE Champion not becuase I can take advantage of a situation but because I am now the best in the WWE and I'm the Miz and I'm AWESOME!"
You beat me to it. This is exactly how I would do it. That way, it doesn't even matter if The Miz wins or loses. He looks like a fucking man for doing it with honour and integrity. As long as the match is good and competitive, The Miz will come out looking like a million bucks. People will begin to get on his side, and that is good for an eventual face turn, but if he loses, he can use it to fuel his heel character: "I wanted to prove something to you people, and it got me nothing. I don't need to prove anything to you -- I already know how good I am. Because I'm The Miz...and I'm...AWESOME!"

I don't know exactly when I would have The Miz cash in, but a Royal Rumble title match could work really well for him. Then if he does lose, he can enter the match still and have another great showing there. It's obvious the WWE really wants to build this guy up. I would start foreshadowing this direction as early as SummerSlam, though.

Sheamus' title reign is still in its stages of infancy, and his reign hasn't exactly been the most dominant; but right now Randy Orton is perhaps the hottest babyface the WWE has. It might be the wrong move to have him put over Sheamus. Especially since I think Sheamus vs. Triple H, when it eventually does happen, won't need the WWE Title involved. Orton can go over in a close match with Sheamus at SummerSlam (perhaps Sheamus can even kick out of an RKO), and then as Orton is celebrating..."I came to play!" The Miz walks out, and everyone instantly assumes he is cashing in. But The Miz gets on the mic and tells Orton to relax, because he's not cashing in. He just wants the current WWE Champion to know that he plans to cash in his title shot ahead of time. Then he says all that stuff about proving himself, etc. Imagine closing the show with that confrontation -- Orton with the WWE Title, The Miz with the MITB briefcase.

You can even have members of the roster, both faces and heels, doubt that The Miz will actually go through with what he says. But The Miz sticks to his guns, and sure enough does announce his title shot. Preferably, he goes over. It would be a great way of saying "The Miz has arrived."
