What's the consensus? Are we happy, angry, meh?
I'm not displeased, though I'm not jazzed for it either; then again, I didn't care much about the Big Show having it either. Really outside of D Bry and Mark Henry's AMAZING run, I haven't cared about the Smackdown belt in awhile, so for me I guess it's.. ok?

It's fresh. Del Rio makes for a better face than heel currently, since losing at Mania to Edge stymied his heat and he never really got it back. As a face, though, it certainly feels less pointless.

Yup I am happy thought I fully expected this to be a short transition run since there is no way I see him holding the belt to mania.

As long as he doesn't use it as a platform to launch himself in the Wild World of Stand-Up Comedy like Sheamus did, I think I'm going to like it a lot.

I also don't see him holding it for very long... but better to hold it even for a little while than never ever, right? (Even though responses to the Christian fiasco might suggest otherwise)
Also, that was a really good match, made better by the fact that a big title was on the line.

I do feel he works better as a face and the fact he used a smart move to win the title made it interesting

Its meh to me cause I think he'll lose it to ziggler or a heel orton especially if rumors are true that orton vs. sheamus are the whc wm match.

Like somebody mentioned, he went on and on about destiny for two years without being able to win the title and then easily won the title once he started being a nice guy. There's a story there somewhere!

It feels fresh. Big Show was awful as champ as was Sheamus so I welcome it.

Its going to be so Ziggler has someone to use the MITB case on Probably, though if Dolph blows it, due to Cena or otherwise, I might have to cackle. It's one of the very few reasons the MITB winner should ever lose their shot. |

I just don't get it, can they not find anyone better to please the hispanic market? Or at least build it slightly better than, FACE, GIVE TITLE!

I don't think it's necessarily a hispanic market-pleasing move... surely they would have gone with Mysterio or Sin Cara if that was the case. I think part of it might have been to build Del Rio up more as a babyface and to hopefully kickstart his ascents to become a top Latino star for the E. It's also the fact that they probably wanted a face for Ziggler to cash in on, and plus Del Rio is like the only available face high enough on the card that can be used for a transition reign. |

I don't think it's necessarily a hispanic market-pleasing move... surely they would have gone with Mysterio or Sin Cara if that was the case. Mysterio's running on two wellness failures, and he's very much a broken down man who doesn't have much time left as a wrestler. And he's out for the foreseeable future because of some kind of family situation. And Sin Cara's thought of as being too injury prone and hasn't adapted well to WWE's style. |

I have a bad feeling that he'll turn into "Mexican John Cena", like how Sheamus is "Irish John Cena".
