Wasn't happy that Sheamus lost, nor that Orton once again failed to put anyone over but mainly I just wish the WWE would get rid of Michael Cole for a while. He makes WWE shows completely unwatchable for me. Being a heel is all well and good but goes over board from the point of hating him for being a heel to the point of just wanting him to shut up so I can enjoy the programme. His him winning again, cleanly this time for some reason, means we're going to be subjected to more weeks of Cole's idiocy.
Sheamus had to lose as there was no 2nd tier title on RAW. And Randy Orton is fast becoming Cena Mk2. Cole I dont mind just as long as he stays behind the table.
I agree that there has to be a second teir title on RAW but Kofi and Sheamus have very little history together barring a short attack on Smackdown and Sheamus needs to be built up again after playing the jobber role for so long over the Autumn and Winter months of last year. The WWE should have had Barrett lose to Kofi or just transfer Barrett to RAW rather than make Sheamus lose again. I just hope they start building him up to main-event status again on Smackdown.
I reckon, we will have a Sheamus/Christian feud, then Orton will enter the title scene. Hopefully Big Zeke will too.
