Logan Paul has returned in WWE and is ready to compete at WrestleMania 38 in Dallas, Texas.
At WWE Elimination Chamber, on February 19 The Miz promised to reveal a tag team partner of his choice in his feud with Rey Mysterio and his son Dominik. This sparked a swirl of speculation amongst fans, wondering who The A-Lister might choose to be his partner.
5. Shane McMahon could have returned instead of Logan Paul

The Miz and Shane McMahon became SmackDown Tag Team Champions in January 2019 and dubbed themselves “The Best Tag Team in the World.”
Reportedly, Shane is no longer associated with WWE following some backstage incidents at the 2022 Royal Rumble. It certainly would have amazed the WWE Universe had his famous “Here Comes The Money” theme hit on RAW to reunite with The A-Lister.
4. R-Truth could have returned to reprise Awesome Truth

One of the most entertaining tag teams of 2011 was the pairing of Miz and R-Truth. Popularly known as Awesome Truth, the duo ran roughshod on RAW and eventually squared off against John Cena and The Rock at that year’s Survivor Series event.
The team came to a sudden end when The Miz turned on R-Truth. However, they did reunite for one night in 2019 in a tag team Elimination Match, losing to Drew McIntyre and Elias.
3. Damien Mizdow could have been called upon instead of Logan Paul

Damien Mizdow was one of the most entertaining characters that WWE had to offer. The stunt double of The Miz, imitated his every move to the sheer joy and amusement of fans watching on.
The former Damien Sandow departed Vince McMahon’s company in 2016, and has been regularly working around the world ever since. He has more recently found a home with NWA, appearing weekly on their shows.
What an amazement it could have been if the stunt double made a triumphant return, even if it was just for a short stint.
2. Cody Rhodes could have returned to WWE to be The Miz’s partner

On February 15, it was unveiled that Cody Rhodes had left All Elite Wrestling after failing to come to terms on a new contract. It immediately gave the wrestling world a shock with many speculating that he would return to WWE.
Leading into the announcement for The Miz’s tag team partner, several teases and hints led many to believe the former “Dashing” one was set to be revealed. This was obviously not the case, and Logan Paul was brought out.
1. John Morrison could have returned instead of Logan Paul

On November 18, 2021, John Morrison was released by WWE due to budget cuts, because of the Covid-19 pandemic.
Before his release, he had started a feud with The Miz after his tag team partner turned on him on August 23. Unfortunately, the storyline never got off the ground as The A-Lister took a sabbatical from WWE to compete on Dancing with the Stars.
A John Morrison come back would have been surprising, however, as things may get better reuniting may have made sense for them. Morrison could have extracted revenge on The Miz for what happened last August to keep up the storytelling.
