6 Ways WWE Can Salvage Alberto Del Rio

1. An Onscreen Partnership With Paige

Okay, I am fully aware that they are currently on different brands, but this is a fictional world we are talking about. Hell, Brock Lesnar and Randy Orton have just invaded the other brand's shows just two weeks into the split, so anything is possible.

Is this not the most obvious move World Wrestling Entertainment could make that would not only make Del Rio relevant for the first time in years, but also give Paige a much needed kick up the bum? Del Rio currently finds himself on SmackDown whilst Paige is on RAW, but by simply trading Paige to SmackDown - for, let's say, Naomi - you answer a lot of current problems on the blue brand.

SmackDown is lacking somewhat in terms of a beefy midcard, so by showcasing Del Rio you get a credible performer to marshal the middle of your shows. Bringing Paige over brings an experienced performer for your new SmackDown women's division, whether as a heel or a face. Heck, a long Paige/Becky Lynch programme could do wonders for both women.

Pairing Del Rio with Paige onscreen may seem a little too obvious, but it simply must happen. Even if the relationship is crazy volatile, that could create some excellent television and, more importantly, make the two interesting again.
