Miz isn't going to be a mega heel, I don't think. He is, however, probably going to be a mega player. His character is closer to Edge and Jericho. And all of the indicators point to Vince being very high on him in the mold of a model superstar.
I think Del Rio could very well be the hateable, but so damn capable heel that gets by not only on cheating, but on pure skill.
See Kurt Angle.
Wade Barrett doesn't need much explaining. He could be a monster heel champion at the flip of a switch. I think people are fretting over him and Sheamus' de-push.
It's clear that the WWE just made an audible and went with HHH/Taker because they felt they needed a big name match to draw in older/casual fans.
That obviously scraps what was planned for them.
In the spring, I fully expect to see them back on track to greatness. Particularly Barrett.
Sheamus shot to the top, and I totally enjoy him working with the likes of Morrison and Bryan now. I welcome more of that this year, mixed in with world title programs which he needs to get back to.
I think a face turn actually might not be too far off for him. Maybe against The Miz.
