Analyzing WWE's "high profile stars" summer development!

After last night's epic Payback, which was a Wrestlemania-quality ppv if you ask me (and a many others), what will happen when we head for the two major summer ppv's? We are only less than four weeks away from Money In The Bank, and after last night's big announcement that Rob Van Dam will return, you can safely say that people are eager to see this years edition of MITB. But how does the future look for WWE's high profile stars? It is safe to say that Vince is going all in for a replay of the amazing summer within WWE that they had in 2011, so how can he make this one equally as good? Let's analyze the possible future and summer development for some high profile wrestlers within the WWE and see what I think:


1) Sheamus
The Celtic Warrior has been stuck in the Mid-card for a long time now. Most likely he will not be fighting for any titles this summer, but expect him to either continue his feud with Damion Sandow, or move on to a bigger treat before Summerslam. Many stars wants to see him go face to face with non other than Brock Lesnar, and who knows, maybe that will be the case heading in to Summerslam? Sheamus is still considered to be the third biggest full-time star within WWE, so at one point he will return to the WHC or WWE title picture again.

2) Alberto Del Rio
It is safe to say that Vince truly loves Del Rio, giving the fact that he has held four Heavyweight-titles the past 24 months, which is more title-reigns than Cena and Punk has had combined these two years (Though Punk held the title for 434 days). But last night Del Rio won the title from Dolph Ziggler, in a memorable match which most likely gave us a double turn to. Del Rio found back to his old aggressive self. The rough Chicago crowd turned on Del Rio during the match, when Del Rio would not stop going after Ziggler's already injured head (Ziggler is fully recovered, the concussion is only a story-lined injury now). Anyway Del Rio secured his title, but his character took another turn. But Del Rio has secured himself a title-match at MITB and another one at Summerslam, so it's safe to say that his summer looks bright for him. But personally I think that Del Rio is to stale both as a face and as a heel, and he does not deserve to be in the top-card. But clearly Vince and those in the back loves him a lot!

3) Dolph Ziggler
The "Show Off" had a big fan-base before his first title-defense last night, but after his impressive show of heart last night it is sure to say that even more people fell in love with him. The match started with Del Rio as a face and Ziggler as a heel, but ended with their roles reversed. Del Rio gave Ziggler everything he had, but Ziggler would not stay down. This made Del Rio more and more furious as the match developed, which ended with Del Rio going all out on Ziggler. After a total of 12 different head-kicks and countless different moves, Del Rio managed to score the win by pinfall. But his victory did not fell in good taste with the fans, which ended up with Del Rio being booed out of the arena. Ziggler on the other hand got a massive pop from the fans after his match when he managed to get up on his feet again.

After last night's impressive "storytelling" by Del Rio and Ziggler, it is safe to say that Ziggler is finally doing a face turn. This is about damn time, thinking about the fact that he always gets a big pop when he enters an arena. Ziggler will continues his feud during the summer with Del Rio, but I really believe that creatives has something big planned for "The Show Off" this summer. Even though he lost his first title-defense, it is safe to say that his future has never looked better.

4) Ryback
The last one I want to talk about is Ryback. Since he received his massive push last year, Ryback has yet to win a high-profile match. A lot of fans is starting to get sick of this, including myself. Ryback has time to time proved "non-believers" wrong, and it is safe to say that he has main-event caliber skills. His match last night against Cena was not as good as their first one, but it was still a decent match. Sadly enough Ryback fell short once again. Only this time he actually scored a pinfall against Cena, which is a rare case now a days. Not many stars has done that the past couple of years, so it was not an all out black night for Ryback. But no one will remember that since Ryback lost the next two stages. Though his future still looks bright, even though he has been buried time after time by creatives.

This summer Ryback will most likely move out of the title-picture and in to some "non-title" feuds with high profile wrestlers like Sheamus or Randy Orton. This will be a great opportunity for Ryback to gain some momentum before he goes on to chase the WHC or WWE title again, and it will help him on his journey to "rebuild" his monster gimmick again. There is one a limited amount of times a monster can fall before it loses its credibility for good if you ask me. Ryback will not main-event ppv's the next six months, but he will be in high profile feuds, you can count on that!
