Getting Noticed By Management
You're right, miz took a backseat. That is if you call cutting promos with the rock, and john cena in the ring at the same time, and having the entire year built around your push leading up to you headlining the biggest even of the year. Then yeah, he took a backseat.
The problem with your boy sheamus? No one knew who he was. He was on ecw, then all of a sudden the guy is WWE Champ? He was given no opportunity to show what he could do or to build any sort of heat. So yeah, he took a backseat. Even then, he was feuding with orton, cena, and hhh.
Oh cm punk has a rematch? So when del rio was on his way to the ring, cm punk, who at this point was "half unconcious" from the nash attack, cm punk was also taking a pen out and signing a rematch clause? That's pretty damn impressive seeing as how no one in the audience or on tv saw it. If you did, please tell me so I can pause it next time I watch the match. Even if he does have a rematch, that doesn't mean he has to use it right away. Would you like to know the reason why some big, dumb, idiot who just so happens to be your boss's/guy you called a doofus in fron of millions of people attacked you? That might be more important to cm punk than the title at this point. Dude seriously, do you realize how much time and effort is going to be put into this nash/hhh/punk angle? You think hhh is goiing to take a backseat to john cena? LET IT PLAY OUT!!!
Before the feud with Cena and the Rock, when Miz feuded with Lawler and Orton I can think of many times where Miz was lower on the card and was not the main focus of the show. I seem to recall the first Punk/Cena feud of 2011 being higher up than Orton and I remember Cena finishing off Nexus being higher up than Miz.
As far as Sheamus goes, he took a backseat and no one knew who he was, then why was he champion at the time then?
