Honestly wonder why we don't have more SD discussion threads. It's a bearable hour and a half online + all the important Raw stuff is recapped on SD anyway so we can kick that to the curb.
7/10. Good stuff. Entertaining throughout.

-Good job, writers. You made me not completely hate a segment involving ADR and a mic. That was funny, but not sure what they're going for with Vickie.
-Anyone remember when Swagger was a pseudo main-eventer and Rhodes was on the ass-end of a jobber tag team getting booted from Wrestlemania just a few months ago? Yeah, me neither. Finally, the roles are correct in this scenario, and the win was flukish enough to be believable.
-This Rhodes/Sandow feud makes me feel like a kid again, it feels natural to really pull for Rhodes here. He was friends with a pompous ass and got tired of his crap, so he turned on him. Simple. Believable. Awesome. Hey, WWE, we need more feuds like this, and less feuds like...
-Big E Langston vs Sin Cara. Yay, squash. Big E's character was never really defined, so this feud is really falling flat for me. It doesn't feel like the payoff that this should. The match should be good, but where the Rhodes/Sandow feud succeeded this one failed.
-Fast-forwarded through Punk and Fandango since it was pointless, then I turned off my brain, rewound it, and drooled while watching one hell of a match.
-Again, no setup = terrible payoff. Kaitlyn and Layla were friends for all of 5 seconds before Layla had her "diabolical heel turn" that looked terrible on top of that. So is Layla going to go back to the atrocious LayCool character + the Bellas are doing the exact same gimmick + AJ Lee still being a person + Kaitlyn now being the only face diva you've... well, you haven't really given us a reason to care about her, either... I want to like the Divas but this is going to be awful television. Can they just go back to Superstars?
-Really good main event. They've telegraphed Christian for the past 2 weeks, but still a fun match. Knew Orton wouldn't win so this felt like WWE was speaking to me, saying "Hey, Christian may be quite boring atm, but at least he's not RVD..." So yay, Christian! Can't think of a better option.
