if he can't beat sheamus foot i don't see him beating punk for the title.

Well he wasn't beating Punk anyway, they aren't trying to convince you of that yet.
Sheamus foot has been shown to be one of the most dangerous things in the WWE though.

so what was the point of that match again??

i wasn't knocking sheamus foot so much as pointing out that he only had one arm plus del rio distracting him. not xactly sure why brianson would get a rematch after losing in 18 seconds and then losing a 2 of 3 falls match anyways but that might've been xplained at the start of the show.

It's because he's made Shemaus look good, before the fued and after that 18 seconds Sheamus wasn't getting squat but after that match at Extreme Rules Sheamus now looks like a guy who no matter how much you beat him down he won't stay down( and this is after he pulled two douche bag movies in the form of that shirt and trying to bite off the yes chants ).

Sheamus and Trips better send D-Bry a fruit basket loaded with cash money and tell his Bella to ride him into the sunset

The point was...now, understand lbo, i am not saying this is good, i am simply trying to explain, clearly Daniel Bryan losing to build him for a title match is not something i approve of.
Also this is obviously all guess work.
They had to establish Del Rio as a villian who wants Sheamus's belt, but can't give away the title match since it's for the ppv, and Daniel Bryan is probably the most over heel on smackdown now, also the only main event heel who was free to wrestle sheamus, and knowing they had 2 matches in one show, they figured Daniel Bryan was the best bet.
Also, Sheamus isn't really getting more over since mania, whereas bryan is, so they might have thought him beating Bryan would help it. And knowing that Bryan is feuding with Punk,and 2 million less people watch Smackdown, they can transition him to Raw and never mention this again.

misson accomplished then in making sheamus look good(which they already did at the ppv) but that doesn't do much to make us believe(build) brianson as a threat to punks title reign.

They don't have any over heels, it's not ideal but they are working with what they got.
Cody has gained nothing from his feud with Show, Mark Henry is...im not sure, not there or something, and i can't think of any other heels on Smackdown besides Del Rio.
Cesaro, but he's not ready for Sheamus yet. Sandow is brand new.

the easy thing to do would be a tag match, del rio & brianson vs sheamus & whoever they want and have del rio walk out on or sacrifice brianson to save himself. that way instead of brianson losing where he has all the advantages he loses where he's at a disadvantage plus del rio gets heat plus brianson still gets to make sheamus look good.

i personally don't think this was the best way to go, but more importantly what i'm saying is there were other options that wouldn't have brianson with help from del rio losing to 1 armed sheamus or his foot.

Funny that you mention that, on Raw they advertised a kane bryan vs orton sheamus main event, which didn't happen.
There was a tag match on the show if i remember right, with orton and show or something.
So, they couldn't have 2 tags?

Just consider Smackdown a different show and it probably won't bother you as much.

believe me when i say i'm not losing sleep over it. i do wish the main title was handled better though.

Im sure it will be when they put it back on Cena, until then it's a midcard title.
The smackdown title is actually more of a real title because it's gets the main event on it's own show.

Since getting his title shot at the WWE title Daniel Bryan has lost a match to sheamus, got beatup by Punk and then saw his partner pin him, and gotten spoilers:

a bullshit win via johnny ace

Giving WWE booking, this suggests to me he is getting the belt.
