The Miz Joins SmackDown as Grayson Waller and Austin Theory Head to Raw
Summary
– The Miz and Damian Priest officially move to SmackDown
– Grayson Waller and Austin Theory are transferred to Raw
– The Miz is left searching for allies with The Wyatt Sicks now on SmackDown
WWE made major roster changes during the three-hour SmackDown on January 24, with The Miz and Damian Priest jumping to the blue brand. However, the night also saw the departure of Grayson Waller and Austin Theory, who were transferred to Raw.
The Miz quickly realized he needed backup, especially with The Wyatt Sicks now part of SmackDown. While seeking allies, he approached Waller and Theory backstage, only for General Manager Nick Aldis to inform them they were being moved to Raw.
With Waller and Theory now set to perform on Netflix’s Monday Night Raw, the timing of their departure left The Miz vulnerable. As he continues to navigate SmackDown, his search for protection against The Wyatt Sicks remains an urgent priority.

Looks like The Miz won’t be escaping The Wyatt Sicks anytime soon…
