Big Show Not Moving Down An Inch

Brodus Clay is no longer undefeated. Nothing wrong with having him lose to Big Show, but I am disappointed that the feud didn't last too much more than a week after Brodus helped Cena beat Big Show at No Way Out. Brodus was just used to put over Big Show's new dominance. They did that before No Way Out, even though the match between the two then never got started. This is why the midcard is so poor. I should have known not to trust the WWE to do the right thing. Elevate Brodus up to an upper-midcard feud. Lower Big Show down to that level, just for a little while, if necessary. Big Show can go over in the feud, but Brodus at least walks away with some good credibility. That is how I would have done it. Brodus was not completely squashed on Raw, but it wasn't the kind of match I had in mind. Needed to be longer.

Where does Big Show move to? Money in the Bank. There were definitely a few ways to still develop a feud with Brodus Clay off of Big Show's goal to win a briefcase, but I'll move on. The WWE Championship Money in the Bank match will feature 4 main-eventers going after the briefcase. In past years, the briefcase was usually a tool for new Champions to be developed. There are some exceptions, like Kane. Kane, John Cena, Chris Jericho, and Big Show will go at it. Where are your midcarders who can use the rub or make the match more entertaining with their unique styles? Kofi Kingston? I would say Brodus Clay, but many fans may dislike big men in ladder matches. And yet, this match will feature both Kane and Big Show. And Cena really isn't famous for ladder matches. Basically, the match quality may suffer from not having as many good spots as past Money in the Bank matches have had.

Big Show still going after Cena? Was that really necessary? With Jericho coming back, a feud between Cena and him would have been a little fresher than Cena and Big Show. Even if they were still going to all be in the 4-man match, keep the focus on a fresher foe for Cena. With the way they are pushing Big Show, it is like Mark Henry 2011 all over again. The WWE must have noticed what having a dominant monster did for Smackdown's ratings. Nevertheless, even though I do not hate Big Show, I wish they would have given him some slight depush.
