SmackDown! Improving.

SmackDown! This week showed great improvement. We saw storylines develop great promos and possibly more evolution for WWE.

We had CM Punk shave peoples hair again, Big Show mock Jack Swagger, some tag teams being pushed and divas improving there skills.

Let’s go through these one by one shall we.
Start off with CM Punk. We opened the show with Punk and S.E.S in the ring and 3 others sitting in chairs in the middle ready for a head shaving.

This was a good promo pushing straight edge further and to improve Gallows and Serena’s mic work. During the shaving of heads Rey comes out and shows a photoshoped picture of CM Punk bald.
Leading on to later in the night Punk and Gallows go up against Rey and partner MVP. The match was pretty damn good we saw some great team work from MVP and Rey, and a pretty intense match. It ended with the Mystery man getting involved but fails as Rey chucks him head first into the ring post before rolling CM Punk up for the win. The picture of Punk is shown on the screens and Punk cowers outside at the thought of loseing his hair.

Now let’s have a look at Big Show and Jack Swaggers night.
Through out the night we had Big Show doing what Swagger did 3 weeks ago, by having mini promos about his accomplishments as the night went on, but instead of all the rubbish that Jack told us, Big Show told us about the things he has done to Jack over recent weeks.
During the night Jack faced Kofi Kingston. This was another great match between the two showing great skill and how they are able to put on a good show. Unfortunately the ending didn’t go as smoothly as it should of.
At the ended came Big Show came out and was calling to Jack, this seemed a bit miss timed. Jack had to get Kofi out of the ring before he could acknowledge Big Show. Once he had removed Kofi he did pay attention to Big Show who was saying there is one more thing that Jack needed to know. If you were watching you could have seen what was going to happen from the miss timing of this segment. Big Show stops talking and Jack looks at him, to much of a delay between all the parts here. Kofi jumps on jack and pins him 1, 2, 3. He then leaves to join big show. This next part is better than the rest. Big Show moves on to say “Did You Know” and points at the screen that shows the WWE “Did You Know” words which you may have seen while watching Raw between breaks. “It then flashes up Kofi just beat you.”
The last match of the night was Big Show vs. Drew McIntyre. The two put on a good contest but was ended by Jack. He pounds on Big Show then goes to get a chair, when he goes to hit Show, Show just punches the chair aside. Jack then makes a runner, closing the show with a very angry looking giant standing in the ring.

Tag teams that were pushed tonight were the team of Curt Hawking and Vance Archer and the team of Caylen Croft and Trent Barreta known as the Dudebusters. We saw Curt and Vance pushed by facing a pair of unknowns to show there skill. There storyline is that they are on a probation and to get permanent contracts they need to make an impact.
At another part of the night one half of the Dudebusters fought JTG and lost, actually pushing JTG which has proven me all wrong about the Shad and JTG storyline, which I am glad about.
I like that they are pushing some new tag teams that are actual tag teams not two current superstars thrown together, this showing that the WWE may actually be listening to there fans when we tell them what we would like to see.

Lastly on my list is the Divas contest.
Tonight we saw the self proclaimed Co-Women’s Champions, LayCool go up against Kelly Kelly and Tiffany.
At first thought you would think we would see the typical Divas match that they usually do but instead we see a match with potential from these Divas and a brighter future from all them.
We saw Kelly doing a flying cross body from the turn buckle to the outside that had me impressed as well as some over great moments in the ring from all 4 women. Now this isn’t like WWE’s older generation of Divas used to be like or how the women of TNA are today, but it’s an improvement to what we have been having recently, so let’s hope they keep this development up.

Another less important moment and not so great one was the return of the peep show from Christian which may have kicked off a storyline between him and Dolph Ziggler.

This was a great show I really enjoyed it and I am actually pumped up for Over The Limit and really looking forward to sitting back and watching the event.

On another subject WWE announced on there website that Carlito has been released as he violated there wellness programme.

That’s all from me Matty.D signing off.
