This was also the first match won by face-ADR, where one of his tag partners didn't get the pin/submission.

Because they want people to watch and get in the habit of watching SD on Fridays on SyFy and they cannot do a live show on Fridays. Live beats taped every time. Except in cost which is why WWE tapes it on Tues.

Your new Major Circuit Champion, everyone. Funny. This being the internet and everyone's general consensus being "TURN 'EM HEEL IT'LL BE BETTER", Del Rio turns face, is getting better reactions, and bam. World Champ. Maybe sometimes, we just need to hope that someone turns face.

Copied from the OP: PLEASE READ FIRST. Obviously this thread contains spoilers but this particular week, I think it's necessary to give everyone a heads-up here. A major event has happened at the tapings tonight, you have been warned, so read on at your peril!
And although wwe are reporting this event on their website and various social media outlets, the show hasn't aired yet. So please be courteous to those people who avoid these sites until the show has aired. Try and keep all discussion to one or two threads where it is clearly marked that spoilers are within. Don't put images or text in a sig or avatar as it could spoil a show for some.

Orton, Punk, Sheamus, now Del Rio. That Christmas match did it.

I know there's been this long running plan for Ziggler, but I have to ask a question: After all this jobbing Ziggler has done, what on earth would make WWE think this guy should be anywhere near the world title going into WM? Further, if Ziggler cashes in on an unconscious Del Rio (say after a Big Show rematch where Show knocks him out after the bell) wouldn't that lead to an ADR/Ziggler rematch and not Ziggler/Orton?
At this point I'd just have Orton and Sheamus wrestle in the undercard at WM. Have it be a #1 contender deal. Personally I would have just had Show keep the belt till WM, have Ryback win the Rumble, then Ryback takes out Show at WM with impressive displays of power.

Well in fairness, Del Rio has jobbed out in every ppv match last year, and he is now world champ. So I don't think credibility is that important to get a title match

Maybe sometimes, we just need to hope that someone turns face. With Del Rio, his heel character was vanilla, and we wanted a change. Also they couldn't keep Ricardo heel, and some wanted to see what a Ricardo and Bertie face tag team could do. Being a face allows his character to have more fun.

Bryan lost far more than Ziggler did last year (I honestly don't think he won a match between winning MITB and cashing in) and I'd say things worked out for him. Plus Ziggler has been winning or at least not losing for the most since Nov. Now if Ziggler cashes in on ADR at Rumble, they can do a singles rematch on RAW or SD, then their is the Elimination Chamber to take care of that. Orton can win a number on contenders matches in the EC or after that to set it up as well.

Plus Del Rio and Ziggler is a pretty fresh match-up that should create a pretty good match. I think this result ends the speculation that Ryback wins the rumble instead he faces Show in a non title match.

LOL WWE tweeted it. They just dont care anymore. They've done that with every title change on every taped show for 2 years. They've revealed title changes on WWE.com for longer than that. Punk winning the ECW Title was spoiled on there. Hell, they broke into a match on ECW to reveal that Edge won the WHC from Undertaker on the Smackdown tapings that were on going. It's their way of trying to drive people to those shows.
