This shit is classic. People acted the same way about Jericho last year. Sure, he got a big debut, but everyone complained about his return for a while. Then he went on to have the best fued in ages and win the title, and suddenly nobody said he was sabotaged anymore. Probably because it didn't happen to begin with and everyone flips out over nothing.
So he didn't debut and get thrust into what everyone fantasy booked. Big deal. It's obvious that the Matt vs Jeff storyline is bound for Mania, and Edge hasn't and will not be involved.
He'll likely be defending the title in the main event, against HHH. This gives Christian ZERO involvement in the storyline at this point. There's nothing to do with him on Raw, since he wouldn't be there for long anyhow.
So, there is absolutely no reason that Christian won't be involved in a Hardys and Edge storyline AFTER Mania. It will probably happen. They need Edge for other things, and they realize a Matt v Jeff match is a draw in it's own right. Why rush all four parties into a payoff match when there are other options available first?
Have some patience.
Christian will be fine, and he'll be involved in some capacity with those guys down the line. At this point, given their current plans with Matt Jeff and Edge, they could have either a) waited until after Wrestlemania to debut him or b) taken the current course of action and gotten him involved in wrestlemania, while giving him some warmup.
I'll take b.
