Smackdown's been getting.... repetitive...

Undertaker is always gone. Sin Cara is injured/suspended. That's 5 really big players and missing those guys means they put other guys in holding pattens until they can resume the fued (Orton/Barrett) or do something with them (Sheamus winning the Rumble). I don't find the repeat matchups so annoying but I do think they could cut some matches out altogether and replace it with some form of character exposition. Since the Hunico/Sin Cara fued was cut short we've learned nothing about Hunico (or Camacho), we know next to nothing about Primo and Epico, any kind of story with Jinder Mahal has been dropped, etc.

I agree that it is strange how half the Smackdown roster is out like that. It might be because they are working harder than the strictly Raw crew, being that they appear on both shows.
