Christian returned at Over The Limit, won the right to go after one of the midcard titles, and then defeated Cody Rhodes for the Intercontinental Championship. Three major things to keep in mind there. Christian returned, he won a title, and he turned face.
Layla pulled off something similar at the last PPV, so does that mean the WWE would like this to become a regular deal for a while? Returning star wins title on a PPV? Having squash filler has become a regular deal for PPVs recently.
Did Christian really deserve the title? I know he is over and a great worker, but he just won a midcard title. This guy was getting a much larger push a year ago. Pushing him in the main-event scene of either show might have been a better choice. Just make the feud between Daniel Bryan and CM Punk last one month. Or have Christian go after Sheamus. Those two had an endless feud a few months ago, before Christian got injured the first time. If Christian is going to hold a midcard title, the only good thing is that the WWE may invest better in the midcard.
Christian could have been booked to face Santino. Beating Santino would have kept Christian as a heel. Is Christian being a face right now bad? I don't think so. You just had heel Alberto Del Rio return last month. You could use a top face returning about now.
And what about Cody Rhodes? That reign was crap. I know the popular idea would be to blame Big Show for ruining the reign. That is stupid. The WWE could easily have still treated Cody better in the last few weeks. More importantly, they did not have to end his reign just yet. Did they screw him? No. Depends on where they go with him next. A good feud with Christian would be nice.
