it's not "person i like", sep.
dragon losing to wade is a problem because he's the MITB guy, Wade isn't. Dragon's the one that's literally 1 move away from being with the belt (as Del Rio proved), but he lost just now. now this serves two functions far as i can tell: 1) it puts Wade into the ME scene again. which is good as that's where he belongs. but you're also risking 2) it makes Dragon look like he can't hang with the ME scene. the feud is obviously not over and it seems clear they'll be pushing this towards a MITB briefcase match. that is the one Dragon needs to win. but Wade also needs to prove himself by beating ME level guys on SD, of which uhh.... is Morrison around? you could try Christian too at this point. it's not a bad angle necessarily, however one thing it did do, without giving any doubts in either direction, is say the MITB winner, your "entry level" ME guy, is inferior to someone else. that would be the problem he's got with that match.
countouts mostly go to nobody tends to like countout finishers at a PPV. on Raw or whatever, sure. a PPV though is kinda lame. again, it's another 'feud to build on' type of match, but those shouldn't belong on WWE's 2nd biggest PPV of the year. granted, it doesn't belong at their No. 1 but it happened there too (unfortunately), so i'm not sure what's going on as to why they're missing that.
diva match needs no mention. that was just bad.
Orton/Christian's fine. it's the expected end, had a fine exclamation mark, and for the love of god means we can stop doing this half year feud already.
