THQ Releases Three New WWE Smackdown vs. Raw 2011 Pics, and They’re AWESOME

Those who follow World Wrestling Entertainment programming know that last month, the company held a pay-per-view called “Money in the Bank,” which featured two such eponymous matches. And the ending to one of them can only be described in one word: awesome.

While the Big Red Monster, Kane, wasted no time in cashing in his MITB contract on the Smackdown World Heavyweight Champion, Rey Mysterio (who is ironically anything but a heavyweight, but let’s not try to be logical here), Raw‘s winner, The Miz, has been a little less hasty in choosing his opportunity to take on WWE Champion Sheamus at the time and place of his choosing. That still hasn’t stopped Miz from taking every opportunity to remind the champ that he has his number, however.

To celebrate The Miz’s shift into the main event scene of the WWE, THQ has released a series of three screenshots from their WWE Smackdown vs. Raw 2011 recreation of this turning point in the current United States Champion’s career. Check them out in our gallery below.

And if you’d like to see more of The Miz, you can check out an interview conducted last year, prior to the release of WWE Smackdown vs. Raw 2010, right here. Within, he discusses a number of video game-related topics, including his self-perception as a “casual” gamer who can beat the pants off his more hardcore colleagues, his favorite oldschool games, and who is the Mario and who is the Luigi of his former tag-team with John Morrison.
