Smells like smark bait to me.
I'm thinking either Del Rio regains at HIAC or on the RAW being filmed in Mexico.

I wouldn't be surprised if they had Del Rio win it again with Johnny Ace shenanigans.

I highly highly doubt that is true. I'm guessing they just didn't want two heels holding their world titles and Mark Henry is on such a roll right now that they had to give it to him.
In the long run I think it was a horrible decision though. Cena does not need a title at this point. It would have made way more sense for Ricardo to hit Cena in the head with the belt and then have Del Rio latch on his submission for the win.
Another thing I thought about is maybe WWE doesn't want Del Rio to get cheered as the conquering hero in Mexico. I can almost guarantee you that Del Rio will get cheered in Mexico no matter what.

They must have known they'd be taking a hit in ratings with the return of the NFL. I don't buy that reason, though, sadly, its as good as any as to why Cena got the belt back.

Meltzer said the exact same thing on the Observer radio show as well when they reviewed NoC, so if that means any indication...

Its funny in a sad way that after Cena not holding the belt from last years Fatal 4 Way to this years Extreme Rules, the WWE felt the need to massage his ego again, and give him 3 reigns already this year.

...because it's John Cena? I usually defend most Cena reigns, but yeah, this win felt like it was done for no other reason than "because Cena".

Because "10-Time WWE Champion" sounds better than "11-Time World Champion" or "9-Time WWE Champion"

No way. You could see Cena winning the title a thousand miles away.

If they took the title off of Del Rio after one show of bad ratings, how has Randy Orton held onto titles over the years? Ratings have habitually dropped after he's one the title, yet they didn't take it off of him. I hardly doubt that's the reason they took it off Del Rio.
