As many have no doubt noticed, Alberto Del Rio's time at the top of WWE looks to have come and gone. As a 4 time World Champion in WWE, he's never really been able to get over on a level needed to be a main eventer. It's not as if WWE hasn't given him opportunities. Where he's heading right now, in my opinion, is where he's better suited for.
According to the WON, the current plan calls for Del Rio to feud with Big E for the Intercontinental Championship. A match between the two of them is currently scheduled for Extreme Rules. Del Rio scored a clean win in a strong match against Big E this past Monday, so it's logical that he's next in line for a title shot. I'm not all that wild about the champ losing clean in non-title matches, especially not when it means that the guy who beats him secures a title shot. After all, didn't it used to be that the challenger earned himself a shot at the title by beating other top contenders rather than the champ himself? There hasn't been nearly as much of that going on as there has been in recent years, I'm thinking that Vince made the call for how this match went down.
At any rate, it was still a good match and I was a little surprised at just how good. Del Rio doesn't get nearly enough credit from internet fans for his ability to consistently deliver strong matches and since it's been a while since we've seen Big E in any sort of lengthy match, I'd forgotten just how far he's come in the last 1.5 years. I don't think Del Rio will walk out with the title, but I do think he's a good choice for a post WrestleMania IC title feud.
