Doesn't seem that bad of a Smackdown.

Not sure why Reigns is facing Mark Henry.....Poor Mark, enhancement talent now.

So next week is Alexander Rusev taking on Titus or Darren Young?

Didn't even know Extreme Rules had been and gone until reading this.

Building up how strong he is so he can seem a realistic power threat to Batista in a 1on1 match perhaps? I've read they're considering doing Evolution vs Shield in single matches at Payback so you never know.

Even though this SmackDown looks pretty decent and a worthwhile watch, I just can't help but let out a massive sigh at YET ANOTHER Santino/Emma/Fandango/Layla match :fp:

Rusev squashing all the black guys too 1:
