Note: After watching TNA Impact, it is the same thing as always. This is the end of the week and we always end with WWE Smackdown. We are past Royal Rumble and not going to the next PPV which is Elimination Chamber. So we know that basically there were four spots filled on Monday. Cena, Daniel Bryan, Sheamus and the champ RKO are in. We have two matches to fill the other spots. Also this is the return of Christian. Hopefully he is around to give us something to talk about. Also there should be more and hopefully there is something more this week. So time to watch WWE Smackdown...
Match#1: Dolph Ziggler vs. Antonio Cesaro - Elimination Chamber Qualifying Match
Winner: Antonio Cesaro
(I will admit that this was the best match to start the show. This was better than seeing a mid card title match. I am still pissed that EC PPV main event was 2/3 filled and tonight was the other 1/3 filled. I was happy to see Dolph get this rare opportunity because he is either in the doghouse with WWE or he just is the best midcarder next to Kofi Kingston. As for Cesaro, well this was his defying match to be in the main event. This was a good match. Ziggler was all over the place and had this match in the bag. However, Cesaro neutralized Ziggler. Not happy about the ending but happy we got someone new in the main event. )
Match#2: Xavier Woods vs. Fandango
Winner: Fandango
(This was boring. This was so boring that I made dinner and desert. Plus don't like Fandango and thinks Xavier Woods is the new dancing fool. Moving on....)
Match#3: Prime Time Players vs. Ryback and Curtis Axel
Winners: Ryback and Curtis Axel
(I was happy to see this match end not because of the guys in it. It was because another black tag team broke up. These guys should have ended years ago. What was sad was Darren Young was busted open and we got to see blood on WWE TV. So what is going to happen with these men? Cryme Time broke up and JTG still works in WWE. So will we see one of these men in TNA soon? Darren Young came out of the closet and might not be going anywhere but Titus O'Neil might be jobbing on Main Event for a while. Moving on...)
Match#4: Christian vs. Jack Swagger - Elimination Chamber Qualifying Match
Winner: Christian
(So Christian got one more title shot? Why does that bother me? Simply because unlike his buddy Edge, he is about to run out of championship opportunities. I was going to admit this was boring but I guess seeing Christian go for one more shot is better than seeing Cena/Orton for the 1000th time. Plus we all know Jack Swagger is a jobber and a midcarder for life. )
Match#5: Kofi Kingston vs. Damien Sandow
Winner: Kofi Kingston
(I feel sorry for both men in this match. This was like watching two men who don't have nothing to lose. It was said that both these men worked their asses off in this match for nothing. I can't say anything more so moving on....)
Match#6: Cody Rhodes vs. Road Dogg
Winner: Cody Rhodes
(This was so good that I wished this was a street fight. These men were fighting in the ring. Goldust and Billy Gunn fighting outside the ring. This shows that old school and new school can mix. This also shows that WWE is trying to have a new and fresh tag team division. This was the proof of this cool and sweet concept. This could have ended the show but we have to end the show with the best team in WWE. )
Main Event: The Shield vs. Daniel Bryan, Sheamus and Rey Mysterio
Winners: The Shield
(This was awesome. I only say that because seeing The Wyatt Family try to scare off The Shield was cool. I loved that this is going to happen. Also this match was better than most Smackdown main events because we did not get Cena or Orton. We got Daniel Bryan. Also it was sick to see the real superstar in this match: Roman Reigns. This was the night of the Shield but this had Reigns all over. He took out Sheamus and damn near killed Rey Mysterio. So I am happy to see this show end. )
Final Thoughts: We end the week with The Shield being the team to beat in the WWE. Most of this show was to fill spots for the EC PPV. Also what is funny is that we got no Cena, Orton, and no bullshit. This was not a bad show. That's because we got Daniel Bryan back in the main event not seeing Cena/Orton. I guess WWE is listening to the fans about watching WWE Smackdown. I just hope they hear me when I say it is time to move WWE Smackdown off Syfy and either on USA or somewhere that isn't a mismatch. See you all for what could be a good WWE Raw show...
