Still, that Orton/Christian stuff was fucking terrible. I mean, the matches were great, but a real chance to make Christian a guy worth caring about was flushed away. Why not have Christian win their first match with a roll-up. It would have fit the styles both guys wrestle, and it would have allowed Christian to look like a crafty and able champion, whilst there would still be some question as to which Superstar is more dominant.
Sheamus and Mark Henry were getting involved in the title scene around this time, so you could have had some matches between Christian and those guys. A Fatal 4-Way could have allowed Christian to again defeat Orton, without actually pinning or submitting him. By this point, you begin to know whether or not Christian is working as a face champion. If things aren't cooking too well, you do the title switch, then have Christian turn heel for the rematch to steal the title back. Diesel is brought in as Christian's bodyguard for the next big match against Orton and helps Christian again defeat The Viper. Cue a blow-off inside Hell in a Cell, with Orton winning back the title.
