Raw Ladder: After Weeks Of Going Up, He Finally Came Down

DOWN A STEP

Sheamus

I know that heels have to act a certain way as cowards, but I didn’t like the decision to have him walk away from a title match last night.  I’m sure they will come up with some story behind his doing so next week, but why couldn’t they have come up with a creative finish to the match instead?  It would have done wonders (if done correctly, of course) to help the much-needed credibility of Sheamus.  He’s supposed to be a monster and having an early opportunity at Cena should have been a no-brainer for him.  Rather, he walks away?  I just didn’t get it and think the could have found a way to keep him from looking intimidated (disqualification, no contest, etc.).
