From WWE champion to wrestling on a pay-per-view pre-show match – and that is the story of the self proclaimed “must-see WWE champion” ever, The Miz.

WWE announced that The Miz will be taking on Antonio Cesaro for the United States title in the pre-show of the Royal Rumble, a free match that will air on WWE.COM, YouTube, and Facebook, starting at 7:30PM this Sunday.

So far, apart from the Rumble match itself, there will be three other matches on the pay-per-view: CM Punk vs The Rock for the WWE title, Alberto Del Rio vs Big Show for the World Heavyweight title in a Last Man Standing match, and Team Hell No vs The Rhodes Scholars for the Tag Team titles.
