Before Del Rio vs. Sheamus was re-added to the SummerSlam card, I was thinking of where the WWE could take a Booker T/Alberto Del Rio feud. Personally, that's a match I'd really like to see, and would be a nice gateway feud for Del Rio before returning back to a World Title picture.

One scenario I was thinking of was if Del Rio got a bunch of masked competitors to attack Booker T. The masks would be luchador style, but would also serve to hide the identity of the attackers. Ricardo Rodriguez's Chimaera character could even be one of them. Wasn't the WWE interested in signing Averno at one point? Make him another. Maybe even put Jamie Noble and Joey Mercury in masks and have them join in.

Basically, it'd be like a lucha-style Aces and Eights angle, with Del Rio paying these guys to make life hell for Booker T on SmackDown, but by making sure there were no direct ties so no one could link Del Rio with this group officially. They would basically demand that Booker T give Hispanic Superstars more of a chance on SmackDown. Rey Mysterio and Sin Cara would then come to Booker's aid.

The angle would not spill onto RAW, although you might get matches like Mysterio vs. Del Rio on RAW still. It'd simply be the group's crusade against Booker T. Not officially part of the group would be heels that have a problem with Teddy Long and Booker T, like Cody Rhodes, Drew McIntyre and Antonio Cesaro.

Maybe call the group something like "Ira Sin Rostro" ("Anger Without a Face"). Slowly introduce the attackers in the ring, and don't push them to the moon, but give them a chance to establish how they are different. Eventually, Sin Cara, Rey Mysterio and Booker T go on a head-hunting mission by challenging them to "Luchas de Apuestas," putting their own masks, or in the case of Booker T, perhaps his spot as General Manager on the line. They slowly defeat them all, and eventually reveal Chimaera (the co-ordinator of the attacks) to be none other than Ricardo Rodriguez himself. You can have Jamie Noble put on a mask designed to be like a pit bull, for example, playing on his past WWE characters.
