Damien Sandow: Babyface?

You're Welcome!

While watching SmackDown this past week, I felt like Damien Sandow's character had taken a rather sharp change in direction. Sandow's more pompous attributes had been scaled back and his keenness to fight, specifically to fight World Heavyweight Champion Alberto Del Rio, had been revved up to a hundred and ten.

This change in demeanour comes off the back of several months of bumming around in “Creative have nothing for you” purgatory, and a losing streak which seems to have become almost ritual amongst newly minted Money in the Bank winners. Sandow was a sentimental favourite to win SmackDown's Money in the Bank match this year. Us wrestling nerds enjoy his work, but with a member of The Shield and WWE's newest pet project Fandango in the mix he didn't feel like the first choice from WWE's perspective.
