Seamus’ successor in the tournament, titled The Last Time is Now, has been officially revealed as The Miz. According to PW Insider, The Miz will step in for Sheamus and compete against LA Knight in the quarterfinals on next week’s WWE SmackDown.
Sheamus had to withdraw from the tournament because of a shoulder injury, which left fans curious about who would take his place. WWE initially mentioned that Raw GM Adam Pearce and SmackDown GM Nick Aldis were coordinating the decision. It is now confirmed that The Miz will fill that vacancy as the tournament progresses.
The tournament’s winner will go on to face John Cena in the finals, set to take place on a special Saturday Night Main Event broadcast on December 13th.
The updated quarterfinal lineup is as follows:
- LA Knight vs. The Miz
- Jey Uso vs. Rusev
- Solo Sikoa vs. Penta
- Carmelo Hayes vs. Gunther
With so much at stake, The Miz has a major chance to shine and potentially bring an end to the career of one of WWE’s most iconic superstars.
