Sheamus/Del Rio was a good match. Hard to pick a favorite in the A.J./Paige feud both seem to be heels. A.J.'s personality makes it hard for her to be a face. Lana's Russian accent has started to go in and out, I wonder if that's on purpose or accidental.

Sandow is on the bottom rung, pure comedy, not meant to be seriously as a wrestler. There is no way back up from there.

Then again not everything works out for some people:

Kind of a so-so show.

If Warrior came up today, the camera would be shaking right along with him like it does now. I knew someone was coming when someone pulled Zeb Colter out of the way just before Kane's pryo went off. Cena being champ is the only thing that makes sense since he has to defend vs Lesnar. at Summerslam. Unless Lesnar winds up costing him the belts before then.

I tried to watch MITB this morning but all I kept getting was Media Error Video not Avialble, It didn't work for me until the afternoon.

Bad News for Bad News Barrett, it looks like he suffered a separated Shoulder in his match, it looks like he may be out for Sunday if not longer.

Looks like a couple of good matches, Ambrose vs Barrett and Kane vs Reigns Connor the Crusher is kid who died of cancer not Connor from the Ascension.

Looks like a good show.

parts look good other parts not so good. I wish Reigns vs Barrett had gotten started, Bray vs Dean may be good.

Meltzer says Cena & Bray Wyatt will both be in the Money in the Bank match, I guess that leaves one slot.

Not much of a show. Cena's calling of the match was a bit too visible and audible for me. Lana's pro Russian speech went on a bit too long for me .Sandow's gimmick is really creative, did you notice JBL compare his dance/wrestling to Ricky Starr, but I think he called him Ricky Storm. It would be nice if Cesaro would up with the belt but I think Orton will probably get it again.

And the WWE rolls on without Bryan.

Looks like an interesting show. I sense a Big E heel turn coming to team with Rusev.

Nothing on Bryan, no Barrett, no Shield.

They were promoting on Smackdown that Bryan was gonna appear on Raw this week. Guess not.

It's in London so it just happened. Not as interesting a show without Bryan.

Doesn't sound like much a card, I guess that because most of the guys have already left for Europe. Hot Mayonnaise? Never seen that, and who did Sandow piss off?

From her life before Lana:

Meltzer confirms Bryan's surgery is minimally invasive, not a big deal, he'll be back in 6 to 8 weeks.

It was okay just not that good. That Nattie Neidhart thing was awful, too soapy, they're trying to do more stuff like on E I guess.I thought Bryan's neck surgery thing was an excuse so he could go to on the European tour. Steph was about to strip him of the title before Kane brought him out. A way to get the title off of him without beating him.

The audience doesn't realize that Shaemus is now a heel, it happened on such a subtle level nobody saw it happen. Remember Koslov? Rusev is likely gonna go the same route, in a few weeks, he'll be completely forgotten and gone. Except Lana. Instead of turning him into just another Nikolai Volkoff, they should have turned him into more of an Ivan Putski. But a good one.

Looks like a pretty good show. Barrett & Cesaro make a great tag team. * SmackDown kicks off with a look at The Shield and The Wyatt Family from RAW. * Dean Ambrose vs. Sheamus for the WWE United States Title is up first. Sheamus gets the win clean with a Brogue Kick. Roman Reigns and Seth Rollins were not at ringside. This was a good match with the crowd behind Ambrose. Ambrose did a dive out of the ring at one point and barely made it in before the 10 count. * Cesaro and Bad News Barrett vs. Rob Van Dam and Big E is next. Paul Heyman is on commentary. Barrett runs down climate change on way to the ring and says like Big E, when the storms hit, he will be forgotten. Crowd is behind RVD and there are some Barrett chants. Cesaro pins Big E after hitting his finisher. Before that, RVD accidentally kicked Big E in the head. The match lasted less than 5 minutes. * We get a Daniel Bryan vs. Kane recap from Extreme Rules. * Lana comes out and says America should change and follow Vladimir Putin. Rusev squashes Kofi Kingston. Kofi got in little offense. A loud USA chant broke out during the match. * The Wyatt Family appears on the big screen. Bray Wyatt rambles about John Cena. * A Bo Dallas vignette airs. * Fandango and Layla defeated Santino Marella and Emma when Layla rolled up Emma. * Roman Reigns vs. Mark Henry is next. Reigns lifted Henry over his shoulders to show his strength and then dropped him into a Samoan Drop. Reigns hit a spear for the win. * Los Matadores come out with El Torito to a big pop. They're going to face Heath Slater, Drew McIntyre and Hornswoggle. Torito pins Slater for the clean win. * Seth Rollins vs. Batista is next. Crowd chants "you can't wrestle" at Batista. Rollins tried a baseball slide, but Batista scouted it and got some offense in. Batista with a few more power moves including throwing Rollins into the steps and then back into the ring. Batista hits huge suplex and is being methodical. CM Punk chants start. Rollins turns the tables and gets going. Rollins runs into spinebuster. Rollins counters Batista Bomb and Batista rolls to the outside. Rollins launches over the top rope and lands it. The second time he comes from the top rope, Batista sees it coming and sidesteps it. Rollins hits the table. Batista rolls in ring, wins by count out. * After the match, Batista hits a Batista Bomb on Rollins as fans boo. Rollins sells an injury. * The Wyatt Family vs. The Usos and John Cena is next. The crowd was more pro-Cena than not. There was also a loud Usos chant. The match ends when a big brawl breaks out on the floor. One of the Usos gets hit with the lariat by Luke Harper for the clean win. Cena cuts a promo against The Wyatts after the match. He says Bray is afraid and didn't get the pinfall, he got his goons to get the win for him. SmackDown ends

I actually liked the Bryan/Kane match for what it was. Bryan had to win since the Cena match ended on such a down note. Bryan/Kane however feels like filler material while they get ready for something else. I thought someone was gonna get put in the ice machine in the background. The Cena match was just strange. This feud just drags on and on. I always thought involving kids in wrestling angles is always dangerous.

Clash of the Champions 2 airs on Tuesday. I'm happy they're finally adding more WCW content.
