• Throughout the entire show, I found Ambrose to be genuinely annoying. I found myself just wishing he would fuck off.
• Intercontinental Title match was good and I'm actually happy to see the Miz/Ziggler stuff continue, and I feel it's right to end it at TLC. A ladder match sounds very promising and I'm really looking forward to it and I'm sure it'll be another fantastic match from both men.
What they've done for the title is amazing and I really hope that after the Miz/Ziggler stuff is finished, this momentum will carry on.
Also, things got a bit awkward when Corbin missed his cue for his interference. It just made Kalisto look really stupid. What the guys in the back see in Corbin just baffles me. He legitimately sucks. He's boring as all hell and I really really feel he needs to go back to NXT for some much needed work on everything about him.
• The Gauntlet/Turmoil match (whatever the hell you want to call it) was not bad. I've always enjoyed this match type and I would like to see more, but not too much as that would just ruin the novelty of it. (just look at Hell in a Cell)
I feel that calling Mojo a spazz doesn't really do him any favours, and I feel really bad for The Vaudevillains, but more so for Aiden English. I can't help but think that the team being jobbers just leads back to Simon Gotch being a complete prick backstage. (if the stories are true)
I wouldn't mind seeing English go solo though. I think that would be interesting.
It was surprising to see The Wyatts get in on the tag team action but with the bell not ringing at the end of the match, that means the match is still going, right? Anyway, part of me thinks The Wyatt's will win then go on to win the titles at TLC. I'm still not completely sold on Orton though. I still feel he'll turn on Bray, possibly during the title match at TLC.
• Even though I found Ambrose to be annoying from beginning to end, I did enjoy him as a Mountie (or possibly THE Mountie). I was just waiting for him to say the line, and what made it that bit more funnier was that you could see both Ambrose and Bryan try their best not to laugh just before Ambrose delivered the line.
• Alexa Bliss is fantastic and I can see her winning the title at TLC. Also, her completely destroying Otunga on commentary was hilarious.
• Kalisto grabbing a chair after the Kane/Corbin match is obvious we'll be seeing a Chairs Match at TLC, which is stupid. That match type has got to be one of the worst/stupidest match types ever.
Expect to see Corbin swinging a chair around next week.
• The main event was what it was. I think Ellsworth announcing online a few days ago that he had signed a contract made it obvious he was going to win the match.
I'm not really that bothered by Ellsworth sticking around. It's entertaining in its own way and hearing JBL come up with some of his insults can actually be pretty funny at times.
JBL saying that maybe Tony Chimel can donate one of his chins to Ellsworth actually got a good laugh out of me. I don't see this Ellsworth saga lasting that long though. I think it'll start to wind up around Royal Rumble time. I really can't see this lasting past WrestleMania.
• Anyway, SmackDown was good yet again, but I don't think it was as good as it could have been. SmackDown has been better but that doesn't mean I think this week sucked. Not at all.
I just really could have done with Ambrose being annoying.
