I'm glad it happened. I don't like Rey.

Since Punk is back shouldn't that mean both Cena and Rey's titles don't count anyway? No. Rey won the vacant title. Cena is now the champion. Punk is simply an undefeated champion.

I started pissing and moaning the second that the final was going to be Miz vs Rey. Neither one should be champion, and while both have been champions, neither one should've been (Miz not yet, Rey not ever). I was praying for an ADR cash in after the final, and I thought we would get it after Rey won. Then ADR backed out and I went into my "fanboy hates new _____ movie after only watching the trailer" mode. Once Trips made the second match I was pleased. I was hoping for either a Punk return, a Cena win, or another shot at an ADR cash in. Either way, I did not want Rey walking out of there as champion. Maybe I'm a hater, or maybe I'm just a guy that thinks it's stupid to put the belt on a guy half the crowd can beat up in a fight, and the crowd is all children.

Christian losing led to him turning heel and a long angle which currently sees him back with the belt.
Rey losing is at best going to be used as promo fuel for someone else.
So yeah, it was worse than Christian IMO. Cena vs Punk makes sense, but it was an odd way of setting it up.

Sucks that Rey lost the title so quick but he does get his name on the list of WWE World champions which according to WWE, is the the only World title that matters.

Didn't Trips say that Rey agreed to the match with Cena that night in his promo?
That's a key difference between him and Christian in kayfabe. Christian was sort of forced into a title defense by Teddy Long the very next Smackdown. Mysterio kinda screwed himself to be a "fighting champion."

They didn't say under what conditions he agreed to the match. I mean, he's going home to celebrate with his family, and next thing you know, he's facing John Cena. How does that happen?
