I mean, if Andre's on good form he oughta take Rodriguez, but it sure as hell ain't a challenge he should take lightly. Grachev was kinda overated and his win over Erdei debatable, but Edwin simply destroyed him (an' I had Grachev for the win). Ward better not come to the ring half-assed or he'll be handed the other half by La Bomba.
I do agree the Rodriguez isn't really worth a $mil at market prices, but he really got spoilt with the Super 4, then lucky to catch Ward at a time when he badly needed someone to fight - good luck to the Kid I say. Ain't his fault that he caught a good break.
Incidentally I'm British, and you'll probably have a few Brits telling you that Groves (bless his little cotton socks) is the SMW divisions biggest up-and-comer. He isn't; I'd take La Bomba any day of the week, but it is a coincidence that they're both taking their step into the big time so close together. Actually (and I'm kinda assuming they both lose) Rodriguez - Groves would make a decent match-up for next year.
