I didn't think it would work with Bryan, Show and Henry but I am enjoying it. Henry and Show had a really good feud before Bryan was brought into the fold and I like how they have kept those two involved in the title scene with Bryan as champion. It is odd seeing Bryan defend against the two giants but it is nice how WWE have booked it where Bryan is starting to take the easy way out and gradually turn heel.

Add Sheamus, Barrett and Rhodes into that mainevent scene over the coming months and that is a very good title scene.

I'm really liking the main event scene and it's keeping me interested, as said, I didn't think it'd work with the 2 big guys and then Daniel Bryan but it's worked greatly and Henry still has a lot of involvement even though it's been focused on Show and Bryan. Really entertaining lately, the matches between Bryan and Show haven't been great but they're not bad and looks like Show has stepped up his game and looks a tad faster than usual.
Not really liking Bryan as champion though, his heel antics and over-celebrating gets annoying but that's what his character that he plays is supposed to do I guess. The guy gets no reaction though even when face, the ratings aren't that good either.

I really want Barrett and Rhodes in the WHC picture.

I like the potential of the main event scene I will say that much. Bryan-Show-Henry has been decent but I don't see much more they can do with it other than just a triple threat, that is why the timing of the Rumble and Chamber is perfect. Sheamus, Rhodes, and Barrett all have a ton of potential and they should all be in that.

Well the main event was wrestled at an awesome pace, I think at the Royal Rumble with Henry and Big Show taking time to rest we get even better match out of this. Entertaining stuff so far even including Bryan's promos as of late.

I guess I am the only one not enjoying it at the moment nothing against D Brian but I don't like this current character he's previous character I didn't mind too much.

Never been a fan of Big Show and Mark Henry and think those two in match is a horrible idea and Mark Henry unfortunatley I think came off worse in his feud with Big Show which sucks a bit for him because he was going so well on Smackdown.

Christian and Orton being out does not help things either and I think ratings have suffered for it.

Kane being moved to Raw I think was wrong as well despite Kane coming back with the mask I think it was better suited for Kane to come back and attack Mark Henry not go straight for John Cena.

I'm not minding it currently, but I do feel as though as Bryan needs a more 'normal sized' guy like Orton, Sheamus or better yet Christian to mix it up with. I understand the direction they're going with Bryan and how the belt has changed him and even though it's probably what they want us to think, I can't help but think to myself, how badly is he going to get his ass kicked and what underhanded tactic is he going to use to retain the belt everytime he locks it up with Show or Henry.

We're always being told that he's a submission specialist but I don't remotely buy that he could tap out the maineventers like Benoit could do for example. I just feel like a feud with Christian for example would be much better for him as he's realistically able to go over him in a clean fashion via submission and really put him over as the submission specialist before then moving up to the Show's and Henry's for example.

I enjoyed the SD main event scene throughout last year and still am. Bryan is killing it with his sneaky heel character and I'm genuinely intrigued as to where they'll go with him and AJ. I hope it doesn't end up with AJ in the LeBell Lock, perhaps turn AJ heel WITH Bryan? I mean, if she loves him that much she'll supposedly support him regardless.

Anyway, yeah I'm enjoying it. I'm sure Sheamus will be moving up into it properly soon though and after the year he's had, I cannot wait for that.

I doubt it will end with her in the Labelle Lock after watching SmackDown! I remember Daniel Bryan questioning AJ later about how much she loved him before they walked off... I've been thinking he planned it as a way to keep the belt.

I'd love that. I thought it was random at first, but AJ/Bryan as a couple really works.

Not sure if serious.

It's probably the worst roster Smackdown's ever had.

Same thing I thought only thing I wonder is if the whole thing is her acting for him or legit being willing to take the hit for him. Either way I like the storyline is looking and the fact that a diva is finally in a actual storyline. As for the main event scene in theory it could be better but they're doing a solid job with what they have.
