Pretty glad Paul Bearer is back for the feud, to be honest. It just completes it all.
Chavo beating Kaval doesn't bother me, because Chavo actually wrestling makes me happy. What they are doing with Kaval is showing his growth. He is over, he will get more over for his kicks and shit, and his fanbase won't be dependent on him winning all the time. Kaval is not being buried, and I am glad the WWE is actually letting him work. Place your bets on who gets to use the rolling Liger kick in this match. I'm going with Kaval's short-arm version.
I feel it is too early for Rey Mysterio's return to SmackDown!. I will be disappointed if "Rey Mysterio's return" does not lead to Del Rio putting a chihuahua in a cross-armbreaker next week.
The Dudebusters on SmackDown! doing anything is win. They have these pretty entertaining characters to them, and getting to utilise them will only be good for both men.
MVP is obviously going to be Dolph Ziggler's next challenger for the Intercontinental Title. That could be awesome. Ziggler and Kofi are both guys that have pretty much amazing matches with anybody, but I just couldn't get into them working with each other. Hopefully Ziggler vs. MVP is a step up.
I would have preferred it if Hawkins & Archer beat Show, so that they could look like an actual threat for the tag team division. Whatever.
Luke Gallows vs. CM Punk will be...interesting. Although Punk is likely going to be the heel, I like the way he has embraced more of an "entertaining heel" persona. I'm actually considering watching NXT just to hear him do commentary.
I like that Chris Masters actually gets to work with Kane. Masters has really grown as a performer, and I actually like him a fair bit. It'd be good to see him find an actual program soon. The right man definitely went over between him and Kane, though.
I don't understand why The Hart Dynasty are on SmackDown!. There was another unexplained inter-brand match on Superstars, too. Perhaps there was a trade I am unaware of?
