 "You're leaving me to do some reality show that isn't 'Total Divas'? That's it! You lose clean in under ten minutes to Mexican Sheamus." I know I shouldn't, but "Mexican Sheamus" makes me laugh every time I see it. |

You wrestled a fine match last night, Del Rio.
Ladies and gentlemen -- the beauty of the US open challenge, anything can happen in the WWE!
But you and I both know... your victory doesn't mean squat until you defend that title, in front of all these people.
And the whole universe knows, sooner or later, fdpikjvpklsklujmlknohilbaknadsdfTHE CHAMP... IS... HERE! |

"You're leaving me to do some reality show that isn't 'Total Divas'? That's it! You lose clean in under ten minutes to Mexican Sheamus DAMMIT." Fixed. I don't really have anything good to say about this match. Why spend all this time building it up just to drop it like that. We all know Cena wasn't going to submit to the cross armbreaker but at least have him lock it in and wear down Cena, get vicious like he did with Ziggler. This match felt like both guys just half-assing it until the finish. The lame, lame, stupid, lame finish. |

I've been dropping in and out recently so had no idea he was taking time off. So yeah I was stunned when it happened the way it did.

Should have been a bigger deal (fairly quick) than it was, but the booking made perfect sense. Cena was prepped for anyone in WWE, so here comes someone who wasn't in WWE any more.

Exactly, and, kayfabe-wise, someone who is supposed to be pretty difficult to deal with even with forewarning, much less by surprise. Wheel of Aggression jokes or not, he's pinned or submitted a lot of main eventers. |

I never have my eye on the clock when matches happen...they always feel longer than they are.
Still, I like Del Rio. Pairing him with Zeb is a bit weird, but it could lead to a Swagger resurgence, if only for the jobbing.

Seemed strange he went down to a backbreaker and superkick. He's kicked out worse every show for the last few years...

So the big pay off was......Alberto Del Rio.
Yep, not Owens, or Cesaro, or Neville.
Alberto. Del. Rio

What a piss poor job by the announcers, haha. John Cena, after all these long ass matches where he kicks out of a million moves, lost in 8 minutes to Carlito's finisher and a Superkick. Who the f*** gets beat by a single Superkick in 2015?
Yet, the significance of that wasn't even clear to me at first because the announcers glanced over it. Isn't that what you goofballs are there for? To highlight these kinds of stories and to point out why something is supposed to be shocking? Obviously, Cena losing clean is news in and of itself but for him to lose in this fashion should have been hyped up way more.

Well Del Rio is the champion then!" |

I just can't wait for the Mark Remark to see how Martin reacts to Cena losing to a superkick.

I'm wondering if they try a concussion angle or something to explain Cena's absence. Getting caught with the superkick and losing was strange, but if they follow it up with an angle like that, it puts the Del Rio's kick over huge and makes more sense out of the finish. Or they could just go with "Cena defended the title weekly in barnburners and took so much punishment, and it caught up to him physically." There's an easy story to tell, they just have to choose to tell it. |

Rio *sighs* All that "the future goes through me" posturing for Del Rio? That's the sort of dystopian future that you have to send a terminator back to stop, well maybe not a T-101 but at least the prototype. |

There's an easy story to tell, they just have to choose to tell it. That's the exact route I would take. The collective toll of his weekly challenges chipped away at him, and he fell prey to a dangerous former champion |

I'm not one to look for excuses to jump on Cena, but this wouldn't have fallen so flat if he didn't phone it in a little with one foot out the door. No springboard stunners of AA kick outs for the guy that actually does manage to get the title off him.
