Smackdown Review

• It seems as if Smackdown creative have hit the snooze button and is focusing on the Big Show/Daniel Bryan/Mark Henry storyline and all other wrestlers and angles are taking a backseat.  There’s the Drew McIntyre losing streak storyline and by Kayfabe, McIntyre should have been fired weeks ago, but Teddy Long keeps going back on his word. The Sheamus and Jinder Mahal fued is at an impasse that basically consists of Sheamus squashing Mahal every chance. Brodus Clay made his Smackdown debut versus Tyson Kidd. Don’t blink, it was only two moves. David Otunga picked up a win versus Santino, which has to be a big win for him. 

• But the show centered around Daniel Bryan and The Big Show. Bryan was getting more boos than cheers this episode. This is a good development for his character because he had zero personality as a face. It brings to mind Kurt Angle during his first hell turn. The championship match between the two ended as Big Show accidentally bulldozed AJ who was at ringside. Surprising that WWE allowed her to take a bump by a male competitor. It will be interesting to see if this will play into Bryan’s heel turn in anyway.
