The head writer of Smackdown was the writer of NXT. Had no previous TV or wrestling experience before he got a job with them, was just a fan and now he's doing some great work. Happy for him.

I thought Ryan Ward was the lead writer as well, but a trip over to Wikipedia challenged that. It lists a guy named Steven Guerrieri as the lead writer for SmackDown. Ward is listed as a writer for RAW, SmackDown and Total Divas.

I'd like to see the personalities in on-air authority roles actually get some sort of creative input (and I'm sure they do, to some extent). Mick and Dewey writing RAW with whatever influences they want to contact (Heyman?) with Shane and Bryan running SmackDown with this Guerrieri fella, since he seems to be doing a decent job.

I was falling asleep, but I generally thought that SmackDown was pretty good. It fell into a few of the traps I really hate. What was the main event going to be before AJ Styles & partner vs. John Cena & Dean Ambrose was signed? But I LOVED their interaction at the start of the show. Even Shane McMahon wasn't annoying and played his part well.

The women's match was pretty good. They seem to work best when they all get limited shine like that. Becky Lynch has been Alexa Bliss' best opponenet so far, so hopefully Becky can drag something fun and watchable out of her at No Mercy. Bliss keeping the Harley Quinn look should be saved for PPVs I think. I'm already getting too used to it. Strike while the iron is hot though, I guess.

Seems like promos were "less scripted" this week. Everybody did a pretty decent job. I worry for Jack Swagger, by getting a more organic look is a step in the right direction. Something about it still seems "phony," but I like the way he kept the "We the People" element but was basically this corn-fed boy from Oklahoma. I've got no clue who they put him against though. Feed him jobbers for a while? I agree with whoever says he needs his old theme back though. "Patriot" was really good for that gimmick, but this incarnation of him needs "Get Down On Your Knees" back. They also need to get him out of a singlet. It doesn't matter if he's not super-chiseled -- the guy would look more brutish in something else. On a side -- I still think that Luke Harper/Jack Swagger would be an amazing incarnation of a Wyatt Family tag team.

Maybe it's because I've never been too into Bray Wyatt, but I'm still generally pretty interested in him. I hope he beats Orton at No Mercy. I agree with JR when he says that his true potential is as a babyface. That doesn't mean they have to job him as a heel though. A clean win over Orton will allow people to start taking him seriously which will be good for a babyface turn. Triple H vs. Bray Wyatt is still the most interesting Triple H match I can think of.
