That's kind of the fault of WWE themselves. They made Mr. Fiery Red Hand out to be "THE JUGGERNAUT, BITCH!!!", then, after winning the title, a chicken-shit heel who rarely defended. He lost all that momentum of injuring/retiring people on that downswing.

Now he's after the belt again, they're back to him being hungry and ruthless, but the damage of that "weakening" period has been done. Making him a legit threat to Randall can be done, but it will take another build, which will take time to do it right... time they wouldn't have needed if they kept him as a brutal bastard.
