The reason this is done is so Ziggler can cash-in. Honestly given it's getting closer and closer until he can't cash-in it had to be done. Del Rio can hold onto the belt until Ziggler eventually finds a way to win, boom. After that a face shall win and we move from there. He has until July or whenever the next MITB PPV is. Yeah but you have to factor in the possible feuds and Mania season considering I'm sure they all figured Show wouldn't hold onto the belt until Mania then be beaten and what not. Overall it'll be interesting to see what happens.

Can't Ziggler just cash in at mania? Like Del Rio valiantly but barely defends the title from, say, Big Show, is crying tears of joy and...
"I'M HERE TO SHOW THE WORLLLLLLD"

Ugh Del Rio vs Big Show feud sounds worse than Del Rio vs Sheamus.
I cannot stand Del Rio so I will not be watching.
Ziggler can't cash in soon enough.

3. Sheamus defeated Drew McIntyre, Heath Slater, and Jinder Mahal in a handicap match. Nothing different than Monday. Filler match. Shamus destroyed them. Is there a reason why this had to be a handicap match? Why not have Sheamus team with The Usos, or team Airstrike, or two random faces like Riley and Santino?

Makes Sheamus more of a badass that he doesn't need help.

Also, surprised nobody mentioned this...
The WWE aims to appeal to the Latino demographic on Smackdown, right? With Mysterio dealing with family issues or another injury, Sin Cara recovering from knee surgery, turning Del Rio face and moving him to the forefront seems like a logical step. Especially after all the hilarity Ricardo's been giving us recently.
Now they can still appeal to the demographic with a somewhat less popular latino star by having him as a face champion and hopefully, make some tweaks to his character to appeal to a wider base. I think it's a win all around.

DEL RIO WON?!
DEL RIO WON!
I am not lying in saying after Monday's amazing Raw and this event occurring on Smackdown (I love Del Rio and always have) that I can't wait for the Rumble and every show between now and 'Mania. Thank you WWE!

Hey, WWE? Your new trend of spoiling your own tv shows = me skipping your show. I tried to avoid this but low and behold it's plastered unexpectedly on the home page of WWE.com. Un-freakin-believable.

Un-freakin-believable. I feel the same way, I intended to watch this no matter what to see Rock there live AND to see ADR face Show for the title. Saw WWE.com this morning and obviously noticed ADR winning the title, which does make me happy, but a little frustrated. Given I saw a few more spoilers than that and it looks like an overall good show I'll still watch but they need to stop ruining these big moments for those of us who don't want it spoiled.

It's the Mankind mentality. I'm sure no one gave Del Rio a chance in hell of winning the title on SmackDown, so now it's more of an incentive to watch knowing there's a title change.

Spoilers are what kept WWE from making important things happen on SmackDown. WWE purposely made SD uneventful because they didn't want something huge to happen only for the wrestling sites to spoil it.
I'm guessing WWE just decided to bite the bullet. They figure, we might as well spoil SD since the dirtsheets are going to do it anyway. WWE just accepts that SD will be spoiled no matter what they do and makes it meaningful again.

That's a very good point. It makes complete sense to draw more fans to watch the rest of the show so in that regard I respect their decision to post it up, just disappointed as a fan that I couldn't jump up and down as ADR shock won.

Un-freakin-believable. The worst part is I bet they did this so then people would watch Friday. Got to get the ratings up! They REALLY need to make Smackdown live. Friday is just a bad night to have it and if people really care about the results, they can just get them online. Also with how big WWE is getting with social networking, it takes one reliable source to say something from the taping and boom! Smackdown is ruined. Also it's clear that WWE doesn't care much about things getting spoiled because of Smackdown being a tapped show. At this point going live on Smackdown is only going to help them.

Well, this has certainly made for an interesting Rumble. I had Ryback down as a shoo-in to win and go on to face Big Show at WM, but...what now? I still think we'll get Rock vs. Cena vs. Punk for the WWE Title, but there's so many potential paths for the WHC that it's incredibly tough to call.

Surprise there's been little negative reaction to this, seeing as you know this guy was our worst of 2012 Superstar....Does a face turn really change that much?
Although I guess, "Anythings better than Big Show" logic works here.
My guess is they've put it on Del Rio so it's more believable for Ziggler to cash in rather then being predictable and mirror the Bryan cash in on Show from last year.
Either way I'm not thrilled with this news, Del Rio doesn't do much for me. I find him horrendous on the mic and I can't stand his obvious "work the arm, look at del rio working the arm!" match psychology. It gets old fast.
