I wonder when the Taker is going to return? I thought this was him.

Anyone else find it odd that Kane was just holding Cena's leg, then decides to try and take Rider into the "abyss." It just didn't look right to me.

I still can't believe they gave the US Title to Jack Swagger. SMH

I think WWE has cold feet again for

Most ridiculous thing of 2012 this year.

I hope they have this guy beat Swagger into a pulp

Ryder has lost a lot of steam in the last few weeks, and frankly they need more high level heels, and Swagger can wrestle with anyone on the roster. Smart move.

yeah there's a lot of backlash and a lot of it is that many don't like that he seems to be the sidekick to John Cena's antics. Looking like a little brother to Cena instead of a wrestler at the same level

Ryder has lost steam and Swagger getting the title put on him is a smart move?

Ryder didn't even defend the title and win ONCE. He's the most over midcarder WWE has had in years, he can wrestle a solid match when given time (see Cena vs Ryder on RAW) and he can talk on the mic when given the chance (where as Swagger stinks and has zero charisma)

If anything it's WWE hating that Ryder got over on his own.

Fans don't want Ryder with Cena, we just wanted him to be a midcard talent.
