I've said it time and time again, Christian should not of had a sniff of the belt till a few months down the line, and though I've got lots of heat for it I stand by my decision. It seems like it was thrown on him just to make Edge have his moment with his long life friend, and that's what pisses me off as a Christian fan, the fact that he was given the title for such a stupid reason other than him deserving it...I stand here as a Christian fan saying he needs more build, and hopefully this storyline will give it.
I see it as perfect timing. Yes it wasn't planned but a great opportunity presented itself to WWE and they took advantage of it, for a couple of nights. Christian was going to be feuding with ADR after Edge finished with him, since it seemed clear that ADR would win the title before Edge had to retire and the draft took place. Because of that WWE had a choice and they decided to continue the theme of celebrating Edge by giving Christian his first World title win.
But now that he had that first title reign and that he had to drop it so soon he can build on that. Edge's first title reign lasted around four weeks even though the ratings for RAW went through the roof with him as champion. Edge kept going and from there he went on to become a ten time champion as the fans wanted more. That same thing can happen with Christian, he can be built up as a huge threat in the coming months and then get back the title and have a proper run.
