Pushing Faces

**Snowden** · 04-13-2011, 07:25 PM

So with the departure of Edge, it highlights the fact that the WWE is really lacking in credible, top faces right now. While the WWE has done wonderfully in pushing new young heels, they've been a little slow with their faces.

On Raw, you've got Cena and Orton in the main event, with the next guys in line being Morrison, R-Truth, and Bryan (sort of). Sin Cara just debuted, so who knows what'll happen with him.

Over on Smackdown, the situation is really dire. Your top face is Mysterio right now, a guy whose not a consistent title holder type like Edge. Below him is Big Show...more of an attraction than a main event player right now, and Kane. Christian will be in the main event by default, but he's never held the big strap. Kofi's had a very stop/start push over the last year. After that...that's it I think.

HHH and Undertaker are part timers right now, and can't be counted on to hold down a show.

At least in my mind, the WWE needs to elevate some guys, have some fresh faces at the top to go along with the bevy of heels. So what should they do? Push guys? Turn some face?

Obvious first step is to pull the trigger on Christian and see what he can do with a top title, at least for a couple of months. Del Rio has plenty of time to win the WHC, and can even be the next in line...but if he wins it now, there'll be no one to challenge him.

Over on Raw, you can elevate Morrison and his shaky mic work, get back on the Bryan wagon...or how about turn Miz? A newly turned Miz could freshen up the top, allowing him to work feuds with Sheamus, Punk, etc. You can even shuttle Orton over to SD in the draft to give them another top face. Just tossing it out there...not a really fully formed idea.

Thoughts? Ideas? Critiques?
