"I won this title for Mexico! Peace out!"
What the hell was the point of that promo? Particularly given he was in front of a crowd that would presumably have a healthy amount of Latinos present? Are they trying the del Rio: People's Champion thing again, is that it? Because it still sounded like he was actively trying to heel it up.

I like to believe that promo was suppose to lead to a Sin Cara run-in but he was in the wrong arena by mistake.

It was weird. As soon as it started, I figured he was just stalling to lead up to a Sandow appearance, or at least an interruption of some sort, but ... apparently not.

Probably leading to the return of Lil Rey and his knee that is barely attached to his leg.

Rey has mentioned on multiple occasions that he wanted to return for SummerSlam, so I guess he must be ready for NoC.

If they're giving him a character again finally by making him a delusional Mexican hero, that's fine with me. Makes perfect sense for him too.

An even better question is why Alberto Del Rio is World Heavyweight Champion? Payback accomplished a Ziggler face turn and told a good story with ADR revealing his true colors but my god, why does he still have the belt?

I'm hoping with Big E and AJ presumably out of the way, and Big E basically being a jobber now between tonight and the Khali thing, Ziggler goes on to win the title at Night of Champions. That's probably just being optimistic, though.

WWE had some weird article about Rey wanting to return at SummerSlam and I think it was posted after MitB (so after the surgery from Dr. Andrews).

He could be like a Mexican Antonio Cesaro. "Be like me my fellow Mexicans - I'm so much better than you - aspire to be ...ALBERTO DEL RIO!!!"

I remember a "Newz" story a while back that said something like if Del Rio wasnt feuding for a world title he would threaten to leave the company.

I thought for sure Rey was going to come out and attack, setting up a match for NoC.

I really thought Rey would come out too. Maybe they're trying to make him the Mexican Bret Hart? It would be as ill-advised as every other booking decision they've made with Del Rio so it's not impossible.

Because WWE knows there's a huge Latin audience out there -- but they want to manufacture said crossover star based on what they themselves want him to be, rather than maybe what said group would want. I don't dislike him or anything, but I think ADR might have set the record for most effort ever put into a single failed main event star ever.

I was expecting Rey to come out. It'll probably happen on RAW or Smackdown and that's your NOC WHC match.
I'd prefer Ray Donovan.
