I WISH I could be upset about Cesaro being thrown out right away but let's be real, he's never going anywhere further than he has and he's basically a geek. Nakamura probably is too, sadly. That's not a reflection of Brock, it's a reflection of the way those guys are booked.

McIntyre's elimination was so ace though.
And that comes off Brock tearing through those guys earlier. Morrison is just back with the company. He got to look cocky and cool, he got in there without any qualms and he got tossed because Brock's a fucking hoss. He's going to be going after the Tag Titles in a feud that is probably going to be a lot of joking and "Dirt Sheet" segments and New Day comedy. He doesn't need to look like he's about to fight the WWE Champion next week. But they at least made him look willing to and half-way competent.

Nakamura came out and Zayn is doing his dancing and Nakamura looks more curious to get in the ring with Brock than anything else. He believed in himself and Zayn believed in him, and when he got ousted he made it look like he was annoyed at himself. If we're lucky, he'll find a way to get past Braun or they'll just forget that and we'll get Nakamura vs. Bryan for the IC Title at Mania, which could potentially be a classic.

AJ Styles got something by having his cronies around and helping him out. And they got something out of being in there with Styles and top guys like Orton and Edge. It's possible that they'll head towards some sort of 3-on-2 deal. Or...imagine if they got Christian back.

If the creative team running SmackDown were smart, they could actually turn this into an angle. Now, I don't want authority figures back or anything, but if I were a hypothetical General Manager or coach on SmackDown, I'd be a bit annoyed that Elias, Morrison, Nakamura, Miz, Kofi and Big E all looked like fucking goofs out there (not really, but you know what I mean). I'm probably forgetting people. Corbin and Ziggler had a decent showing, but I think if you look at things, Corbin might be the only SmackDown guy who got an elimination.

This could be used to "motivate" talent. Or have heels come in and try to revamp the show. If you wanted to create a reason for an NXT invasion again, then that's a good one. "You guys didn't cut the mustard, so now you're going to have to watch your back against the hungry guys in NXT." Babyfaces and heels.

Good excuse to have Vince McMahon back on WWE TV if that's what you wanted to do.
