Christian or Del Rio at Extreme Rules?


At Extreme Rules 2011 Pay-Per-View, it'll be an intense ladder match for the vacated World Heavyweight Championship. Alberto Del Rio was scheduled to face Edge, but Adam Copeland made his official retirement on Monday Night Raw.

That meant Del Rio would become the new champion by default, right? Not exactly. On Friday's Smackdown, he tried to lay claim to the championship, only to have his destiny spoiled by GM Teddy Long. Long announced a 20-man battle royal would be held on Smackdown to determine Del Rio's opponent at Extreme Rules.

That 20-man battle royal was pretty interesting later in the night. Christian would emerge victorious after Jack Swagger charged at him and fell over the top rope. Two other guys who battled in the final four also looked good, with Rey Mysterio and Justin Gabriel. Perhaps a feud is in the future for these two, who gave a sneak preview of what could be a unique and exciting match.

Let's not digress though. It's going to be Edge's pal Christian going against Del Rio for the World Championship at Extreme Rules. Del Rio's got his ring announcer, Ricardo Rodriguez, and henchman, Brodus Clay, to back him up. It seems like now Del Rio's destiny will finally be realized. Even though Christian would make a worthy champion, it looks like this would be the time to further solidify Del Rio's status as the top heel on Smackdown. This works perfectly ahead of the annual WWE Draft, which could bring over some of Raw's top talent to challenge Del Rio.

Don't worry if you're a Christian fan though. He was top notch championship material on TNA and should be the same for WWE. It's been said elsewhere online that there is likely to be a passing of the torch from Edge to Christian as the face champ. Give him a few months and he may very well be defeating Del Rio to hold the World Championship for his first-ever reign.
