Well, Smackdown was predictably a letdown. After the best RAW we have had since perhaps the RAW after Summerslam, Smackdown dropped the ball. It kept its trend over the last few months and really should be renamed, Replay Letdown.
There was a time when Smackdown was the best of the WWE Prime Time broadcasts. RAW was where they aired all the skits and stupidity; Smackdown was the actual Wrestling Show. Not anymore.
Was Smackdown all bad? No. Was it good? No. It was another rehash, repeat of what we have seen night after night, week after week for the last month plus. How many times are we going to see Kane versus Ambrose in a misguided (and failed) attempt to destroy Ambrose on Rollins’ behalf? It is the same exact match every time.
Okay, the High Point of the show.
SETH ROLLIN’S PROMO AND MATCH WITH DOLPH ZIGGLER
Seth Rollins gave an extremely passionate promo (yes, heels can do that) espousing his greatness. This lead to a match with Dolph Ziggler. This match needed to happen after Monday Night, I’m surprised they did it so quickly and didn’t just forget about it.
More please! Can we get these two into a feud? It would be far better then what Rollins is doing now; we might actually have matches instead of him constantly running away.
THE LOW POINTS
EVERYTHING AFTER SETH ROLLIN’S PROMO AND MATCH WITH DOLPH ZIGGLER
Yes, everything after the bell sounded on the Rollin/Ziggler match was the Low Point. I hate writing this, as Kane is one of my all-time favorites, but Ambrose versus Kane was the lowest point of the night, for the reasons I mentioned above.
FINAL THOUGHTS: If you haven’t watched Smackdown, just watch the first 30 minutes and your good.
RATING: 4.5
MATCH OF THE NIGHT: SETH ROLLINS VERSUS DOLPH ZIGGLER
WRESTLER OF THE NIGHT: DOLPH ZIGGLER
