Some pretty good matches, hope that cage match was good because I enjoyed their match last week.

Young is getting a push, I'm expecting him against Ambrose for the US Title maybe?

Maybe vs the Shield after a while. He's said that Titus has always knew when he did an interview. Assuming Titus truly always knew, still teamed with him and was respectful anyway, that's something good pr wise to spin after you build them up as a face group

Looks like a pretty damn good SmackDown, i'll be giving this a watch.

 

[Tapout]

The WWE title feud getting a large amount of Smackdown time? Maybe the reports of WWE making Smackdown better is true. Seems like the last few weeks, the main Raw feuds have been getting good Smackdown time.

Looks like a damn good show though.

Could it be because there is NOTHING good on Smackdown?

Yes, yes yes yes.....WWE is run by blueberries who hate wrestling and we should all chant the name of an irrelvant and unsuccessful indy company instead.

But this particular Smackdown! looks good imo.

Does look like another good show, with Smackdown's tv contract coming up soon they need to boost it as much as possible to get the money that they want for it.

Some good matches and plenty of storyline development. Still find this RVD/Ricardo pairing weird but I don't see it lasting long. Presumably he will get a title shot at Night of Champions.

Young is getting a push, I'm expecting him against Ambrose for the US Title maybe?

I can't see that happening. He had the singles match against Cesaro since PTP are feuding with The Real Americans and rather than going with a tag match every show they mix things up with some singles action. Can see them getting a push as a team, no reason to split them up.

 

[Keith]

Thing it looks a good show overall.

Am getting bored of WWE trying to get big guys over with squash style tag matches.

Cage match should be good and should boost Barrett's career.

Think they should have Orton say very little for awhile before coming out of his shell and accepting a Bryan challenge further down the line.

I found the Ryback segment quite amusing as the "fan" didn't know who Ryback was. Did anybody else given his current gimmick expect him to bust out the Bully Ray "Do You Know Who I Am?" line considering that's what they were going for and sort of dancing around it.
