Sandow Without Rhodes

It is funny how Damien Sandow now finds himself just floating around recently. He is still winning some matches. He is still facing good opponents. Problem is, he has no real direction. He is in the same type of spot Wade Barrett was in prior to his recent push.

What brought about this little depush? The injury to Cody Rhodes. Before that, both were getting pushed in the tag division. Had Cody Rhodes not gotten injured, and going by how the WWE loves extending many title feuds these days, it's not hard to imagine that the heel team would still be in the hunt. You might have finally gotten a 3-way feud between those two, Kane and Daniel Bryan, and Sin Cara and Rey Mysterio. When Rhodes does return, it will be interesting to see if the WWE continues in that direction or would have come up with something just for Sandow by then.

This is just a situation where you don't need dirtsheets to tell you what might or might not be going on backstage. It is pretty obvious what has happened with Sandow. No doghouse. This is just a matter of waiting for Rhodes to return or not being able to figure out a better way to push Sandow for now. No, I'm not saying you should blame the writers. It's not exactly easy to force a new feud just like that for someone who is not as much of a priority as John Cena. As I said before, it took Wade Barrett weeks to finally get the push and direction he now has. Things don't happen automatically for midcarders. Until Rhodes does return, at least Sandow is still featured. No tears needed for him.
