I actually watched Smackdown before as well and really enjoyed it even with the dusty finishes. They actually told a story throughout the night with The Shield and their matches were good, given more time than I expected. What I liked was that we didn't get the predictable matchups in Kane vs. Reigns and Bryan vs. Rollins, they mixed it up again as they should and it worked.
Ryback coming out in the ambulance doesn't really need to be done all the time, every time I hear those sirens I think of Scott Steiner anyway. Solid segment though, nice way to write Kofi out for a month or two with that table spot.
Big E vs. Del Rio was better than I thought it would be, good to see him get a win over a big name like that. Still hate his attire, needs to go back to the shorts with the singlet.
Curtis Axel promo was pretty bad, didn't have the right timing and it should have finished strong with the "Perfect" but it just didn't work. Heyman needs to do a lot more work with him. Match was alright for a squash, perfect Perfect Plex to finish the match.
Jericho vs. Rhodes was alright but it was so random, they have nothing going between them and they just get thrown together in a match.
Mainevent was great thanks to that ending, hopefully they replay it on RAW so that a wider audience can see Bryan go crazy.
