Del Rio's Title Win, The Miz Talks Rock vs. Punk

It's no secret within WWE that Alberto Del Rio's World Heavyweight Title push is tied into Cain Velasquez winning the UFC Heavyweight Title and doing a shockingly big number on pay-per-view. Del Rio's title win happened about a week after WWE became aware that the UFC show with Latin Superstar Velasquez winning did a lot better than expected going in.

- WWE's website has an article up with predictions from Booker T, Kofi Kingston and The Miz regarding Sunday's The Rock vs. CM Punk match at Royal Rumble. The Miz says he's rooting for The Rock:

"Am I rooting for The Rock? Absolutely. Do I want him to win? Absolutely. Do I want him to unseat the WWE Champion and become the champion? Absolutely, because you know what? At WrestleMania, when I win the Royal Rumble Match, I’ll be going up against The Rock, the person that made me want to become a WWE Superstar."

lol Yeah Miz, keep wishing about that Rumble win lol ... I do not like Del Rio and I hate him as champion .. all I have to say.
