Summerslam's World Title Match Called Off?

It certainly is an interesting twist in this feud that has been going on for months between Sheamus and Alberto Del Rio for the World's Heavyweight Championship. Booker T, Smackdown's new GM, has called off the title match after Del Rio constructed this elaborate trap for Sheamus on Smackdown last week. Obviously, things have not ended just like that. This is just part of the storyline.

I think this is a great development. Not only does it get people wondering what will happen and tuning in to see what happens between Del Rio and Booker T, but this is great character development for Alberto Del Rio. A year ago, I referred to him as a "Master Heel". This was back when he was looking very good after winning his first WWE Championship. Shortly after saying that, as is often the case, the WWE made me eat my words. They made Del Rio's character look cowardly and pathetic. He was going against John Cena, after all. They screwed over Del Rio's potential to get very over more than they screwed up my expectations. Since then, ignoring the time he spent injured, the WWE would give him good moments here and there, but they never pushed hard and well for him to look good. Last week, he started to look like that "Master Heel" again. He had a bunch of thugs come out to help him get Sheamus. And now, he finds himself going against a face authority figure. That is good.

I think this guy has great potential to be a top heel. They just need to deliver with the storylines. I don't know how they will get this match between these two back on, but I still feel it is only a matter of time before Del Rio does win the title.
