Kross is looking like shit because Scarlett isn't around. He had to drop the belt because he's going to the main roster. And Joe was the perfect person to drop it to. He's a believable adversary to Kross.
Walter had to drop the belt because he's more than likely getting called up and Ilja beat the fuck outta him.
And once they made the stipulation that Ted DiBiase would become a butler if Eli won, you already knew he was going to lose.
You have to see the bigger picture. I'm quick to shit on these PPV's. You can go through my LC's and see that I do, but this one was good. I got enjoyment out of it. I enjoyed it more than Summerslam.
