Robert Aitken, a featured columnist on sports media site BleacherReport.com, published an article today focusing on the current situations of SmackDown Superstars Christian and Wade Barrett and a possible joining of forces between the two based on their recent actions.

WWE: Will Wade Barrett and Christian Form an Alliance on SmackDown?

“The WWE has seen a lot of new alliances and tag teams forming in recent weeks, as much of the roster is looking for allies. This just so happens to be going on at the same time that “conspiracy” is said at least once or twice during an episode of any WWE programming. These two facts are somehow linked to one another, and it seems like many people are aligning with others to have someone watching their back.

Just in the last few weeks, Kofi Kingston and Evan Bourne have gone from friends to tag team champions. Vickie Guerrero is emerging with a stable that includes former enemies Jack Swagger and Dolph Ziggler. R-Truth and The Miz may be fired right now, but the duo will return to WWE and will do so together. Even lower-card superstars like Curt Hawkins and Tyler Reks are finding partners to hang around with.

If there is someone in the WWE who needs a friend right about now, it is Christian. The former two-time World Heavyweight Champion now walks around like a laughing stock for the way he has been booked in recent months…”

The full article goes on to mention Wade Barrett‘s recent status as well as making predictions on Christian’s match with Sheamus at this Sunday’s Hell in a Cell pay per view.
