This should be a good match, Del Rio vs Morrison. I see Del Rio winning this one.

Maybe a Truth interference, what do you guys think?

– The following matches were taped tonight in Edmonton, Alberta for this week’s episode of WWE Superstars:

* Sheamus vs. Heath Slater

* Daniel Bryan vs. Drew McIntyre

Once again McIntyre on Superstars. Surprised to see Sheamus there.

Strange that Sheamus is there. But he has been confirmed to be facing Mark Henry in the mainevent on Smackdown.

I lose faith in Morrison every time I see him.

Anyone else not like it when Lawler said that Morrison should fancy his chances against Del Rio?

I don't mind him talking Morrison up but Del Rio is the WWE champion and should be ranked more highly than any others and it shouldn't be easy to beat him.

It should be a good match though and an appearance from Truth wouldn't surprise me.

So far this match has been good. Both men have had their offense and it looks equal. But i still think Del Rio gets the win.

I wonder why Vince is high on Del Rio? Thoughts?

The announcers have now become face and heels and as such they side with whoever is a face or heel in the ring instead of being impartial or playing the middle.

Mexico is now a massive market for WWE and that is why they brought in guys like Del Rio and Sin Cara. There is a tv taping tour down there soon and so Vince is very happy to push Del Rio before that tour.

The announcers have now become face and heels and as such they side with whoever is a face or heel in the ring instead of being impartial or playing the middle.

I am happy that they aren't yelling at each other tonight, or at least they haven't done it yet tonight.

Del Rio is getting praised from Vince because in his matches he tells a story. He performs very well and he is well utilized on the microphone especially for someone who has donned a mask during all their indy career.

Morrison getting in a lot of offence in this match. Good to see that he has been booked strong but Del Rio will finish him off in a minute.

Yeah i know that Vince wants the big money in Mexico. But i just hope that his focus on money doesnt come first to his superstars' safety. Mexico has many problems right now.
