In my view, the hottest going angle should be at the top of the show. As mentioned earlier, back when Foley and Rock were stringing classics together, Austin/McMahon was the dominant storyline.

I don't think this is a bad thing per say. It is bound to happen at some point, and sometimes needed. The Nexus/CM Punk/Cena angle is so big right now that it'd be a tough argument to bump it behing the title. For a while, the title intertwined with Nexus.

As long as they keep mentioning the importance of winning the Rumble as a way to headline Mania for the top belts, than I think it's fine. Right now, the Rumble is all the talk. You have Barrett, Cena and Punk, 3 top main eventers, with the same goal; win the Rumble, then win the title.

I also think that the way the Miz is being booked and the promos and face time he has gotten since getting his run have kept the title relevant. He's been on SmackDown! several times and is currently in a fued with arguably the hottest face in the company.

Honestly, the fueds, matches, and promos surrounding the belt since the Miz won it have been pretty good. I don't think having the angle booked in the middle of the show is such a bad thing. The main storylines on Raw right are so good that, to me, they're interchangeable in terms of where on the show they're booked.
