At a time when the WWE has so few new stars that it relies on The Rock and Steve Austin to pull in the numbers at WrestleMania XXVII and is looking once more to the old guard next year, it seems a strange decision to take the WWE title off The Miz and give it to John Cena for the tenth time, and the World Heavyweight Championship from Christian just days after he first claimed it, to award the belt to Randy Orton, for the eighth time.
The case of The Miz makes a little more sense though. He had after all been champion for 160 days – longer than any of Brock Lesner’s reigns – and he lost the title in the main event of a pay per view. He also had beaten pretty much everyone, and the draft left few potential opponents for him to feud with.
