I have seen many posters complain that Umaga has lost his monster status. I don't see this as being the case. Umaga is the #2 heel right now on Raw, as such his job is to put people over before they face the #1 Heel. In this case Orton. Umaga has lost to very few people cleanly and has never stopped looking unstopable. Lately he has lost to HHH (aurguably the main guy on the roster), and Jeff Hardy. Now in most of those losses it took both guys finisher to put him away, hardly being booked to look weak.
Now if we look at the face you have HBK. Rarely does he win in the blow off of his fueds. He lost to Orton and helped put Orton as the #1 Heel. I would expect him to loose to Kennedy as they look to be building him into the main event. The best way to do that is to have him beat the #2 face.
It has always been this way. Look back at Tito Santana, JYD, Kane, and many others along the way. This is classic booking and I have had no problems with it.

I agree. Just because a wrestler loses once does that mean he's lost his status? Umaga didn't even lose to a returning Jericho. Because Orton interfered. How doest that make him look weak?
Besides, didn't anyone hear the crowd go "Ohhhhhhhh" when Orton chose Umaga as Y2J's opponent? He still holds the effect of a monster.

Although your post makes sense, there are still going to be those folks who will complain that one loss spells the end of a career.
Personally, I can't even remember what happened on the previous week's show.
