Another way would’ve been to have Edge come out to cut one of his promos when Christian’s old music hits, and he walks down and proceeds to tear into Edge as he announces his return. After a few words, Christian hits Edge with the mic and leaves the ring while Edge holds his head in pain. The announcers hype Christian vs. Edge for later in the show…

But we didn’t get that.

But then what for Christian? It's obvious where Christian defeating Jack Swagger goes: Christian wins the ECW Title at WrestleMania. But where does Christian going over Edge lead? Keep in mind that he CANNOT challenge for the WWE Championship at WrestleMania!

Face The Big Show at WrestleMania or represent SmackDown in the Money In The Bank Ladder Match. Both of those matches would be bigger than a repeat of Christian vs. Jack Swagger.

Big Show vs. Christian would get lost in the shuffle, I think. WrestleMania is always that way. The title matches and epic special attractions drown out the upper mid-carder fight. Also, the storyline would probably have Big Show going after Christian because Vickie Guerrero told him to, which would put him at odds with Edge. So what you're essentially doing through Show vs. Christian is teasing Christian vs. Edge, which is all well and good, except WrestleMania should have some finality to it.

How are people going to enjoy the probably crappy (from an in-ring perspective) Christian vs. Show program, if it is just buying time until an Edge vs. Christian feud, and people can see that and look past the present to it?

I predicted Christian would be in Money in the Bank prior to ECW this week, and I have no problem with him being in the match, except that it does makes the match prediction. In case you're not following, SPOILERS: Christian wins. That's something I could accept, but then you've got another face winning MITB, and when Christian cashes in, you have the whole "paper champion" thing I'm sure people would complain about.

The way the WWE are going about it, Christian can win the ECW Title from Jack Swagger, and use that to springboard himself to the main event scene of, say, SmackDown!. Shelton Benjamin could then also win MITB (because let's face it, he needs a little help), and can then use that briefcase to win the WWE Title down the track. That's two main eventers set-up, instead of just one.

Christian could win MITB and then use it to win the WWE Championship.

Very true. But then you get the whole issue with CM Punk coming back up. MITB works best with a heel winning the title. Someone like Shelton Benjamin could benefit more from it this year.
