No, they didn't.
The guy has zero charisma, no mic skills and is at best passable in the ring. He should be thankful for the spot he is in right now, as a tag champ together with Santino. That's as far as he will and should get. I still remember the horrible WWE title match he had with Triple H at a PPV in 2008. I almost feel asleep, because 90% of the match were rest holds done by him. I am surprised that WWE decided to push such a guy this hard at some point.
