Expectations were already low heading into HHH vs Reigns

#4 Alberto Del Rio vs. Big Show - SmackDown 2013

Alberto Del Rio Big Show
Del Rio’s title win felt extremely rushed

Given how rare a world title change on free television is, you'd assume that when it happens it would be a big moment. Whilst that's somewhat true, Alberto Del Rio's triumph over Big Show in early 2013 didn't feel right whatsoever. First and foremost, let's talk about that face run.

Del Rio has proven throughout his career that he can work as a babyface, but in the WWE it felt extremely forced. He was thrust into a position that didn't suit him and they put the strap on the former WWE Champion without much build at all. Plus, Big Show wasn't exactly doing a poor job with the Championship.

If anything, they could've and should've featured Show in a big match at WrestleMania 29 where he defended the title - probably against Ryback. It would be a career-making moment for The Big Guy, while Show would be able to retire knowing he walked into the biggest show of the year as World Heavyweight Champion. What a waste.

We finish up with a recent crime that got a lot of people talking.
