Alberto Del Rio Vs. Sheamus: Take...I Lost Count

Yes, even I am getting tired of it now. Once again, Alberto Del Rio is getting a title shot against Sheamus. This feud has lasted even longer than the feud between Randy Orton and Christian last year. If you think about it, the seeds of this feud were planted right after Sheamus won the World's Heavyweight Championship at Wrestlemania. It was then placed on the back burner, while Sheamus finished up with Daniel Bryan. And now, the WWE won't end it.

Once again, however, the WWE has done something great for Del Rio. They allowed him to beat Randy Orton clean, and by submission. Yes, Randy Orton tapped out. It wasn't a complete burial. Orton still got a hit on Dolph Ziggler, who was going to cash in on Sheamus. As for Del Rio, they keep on building him well, but they just need to pull the trigger already. The guy already has two WWE Championship reigns to his name. He's credible. I know a lot of fans will say that he is not over with the crowd yet. Do more with the storylines. There is no reason to just keep making him look so credible over all this time, without even giving him the title. They were not afraid to let Orton look weak for this guy's benefit, so Sheamus can take a hit. Sheamus did take a hit last week. With a shoe.

Randy Orton is now on the radar of the title feud. I think they really just need to get the title on Del Rio, then eventually transition to a feud with Orton. Once Orton does eventually regain the title, that can lead to a feud with Wade Barrett or Ziggler using the briefcase on Orton. Ziggler hasn't even held the briefcase for a full 2 months yet. There is still plenty of time to have him wait and develop him further. But will Randy Orton retake his spot as top man on Smackdown?
