2. No Complaints Here

OK, so some fans are entitled to feel robbed that WWE didn't actually determine GUNTHER's WrestleMania challenger here at all. However, look on the bright side: Sheamus vs. Drew McIntyre next week guarantees more top quality action. It'll be a bloody scorcher (or one of those "bangers").

Most out there will be happy enough if both guys head to 'Mania for a three-way with GUNTHER over the Intercontinental belt. The live crowd in Pittsburgh chanted for a "Triple Threat" following this week's double pin, so they're onside and in on the story.

Bring on all those chops, people.

McIntyre vs. GUNTHER, Sheamus vs. GUNTHER III or a match involving all three guys remain WWE's options, and all of them sound tasty. Yours truly doesn't see a problem with swerves like this, because they're only designed to keep the story rolling into next week's TV, and every outcome is a winner.
