Will you give him a chance to shine with the title or instantly check out until someone takes it off him
Him and Backlund have had good on screen chemistry, better than I expected from the vignettes.
I'd give him a chance, haven't really seen Darren be able to mix it up in one on one feuds.
Then again maybe that was for good reason

Wait and see. Darren has always been solid in the ring, just boring

I sort of want him to win it just for the novelty of it, but god damn has he looked horrendous in ring since he came back.

I'm gonna be really pissed off that they jobbed Miz to this clown. I mean, Darren isn't terrible, he's perfectly solid, but even if you only counted the "solid but not amazing" talents on the roster, there are still others who are better workers and/or more charismatic than him.

I've been checked out of the IC title scene for a while now anyway. DY would at least be something new. Also more Backlund isn't a bad thing right now.

There's that Don't get me wrong, the chicken wing is the greatest and I totally welcome him using it, I just think he's looked a lot clumsier than before since he redebuted. His movement looks so awkward and I never remember it being that way until recently.

His movement looks so awkward and I never remember it being that way until recently. I think it's more of a case of him being rusty. He also has growing pains to work through to as this is his first singles run. Don't forget he had that ACL injury for they reunited him and Titus He's got a bit of an uphill battle but if you going to shine now is the best time to do it.

I actually forgot about the ACL injury, that might explain things a bit. Also, I just realized this now, but wouldn't him winning the IC title mean that RAW gets both that and the US title?

Assuming Zack beats Rusev which I doubt It would be nice for Darren to win but I don't see it based upon (1) Rusev being built back up so no way he loses (2) I think they have plans with Miz for the IC title in regards to him dropping it to Ziggler again

They can either 'make' Miz right now as the IC champ, or roll the dice and start from scratch on the power of Darren Young's crowd response. Miz has a habit of making face Superstars shine (Daniel Bryan, AJ Styles, Cena/Rock feud) so you'd hafta have a helluva lot of confidence in D-Young being the champ after Miz and Maryse's run.
He can go in the ring and I've never really seen what he can do as a singles guy so it might be a gambled-risk that turns into a miracle success.

I think the Young/Backlund pairing has some great comedic chops, but it's too bad it's not too likely they'll beat Miz considering it also probably means that Zack Ryder beats Rusev for his title. (that, and WWE showed they really care about the midcard title challengers considering how high the champions were and how ridiculously low their challengers were, with neither side showing an interest in securing them)

Totally ok with this feud, to have Miz beat someone clean for once
But having Darren as IC champ instead of Owens/Sami/Cesaro? Bwahahahahahhahahahahaha

Honestly? I'd rather see Backlund beat Miz for the IC title

Instantly check out. I mean, I want the belt off of the Miz by any means necessary, but I'm not sold on Darren Young.

I'll be pleased. I'm not a huge fan, but he's entertaining enough. "Give new guys a shot.. no not that one!"
