Randy Orton and Zack Ryder beat Dolph Ziggler and Wade Barrett in the main event. Orton got the win on Ziggler with the RKO. Orton and Barrett had a staredown to end the show.

Jinder Mahal has really gone nowhere since he came in. Can't see this being the best Smackdown ever really.

Sheamus is at nothing again. He'll be pushed as a favourite when the Rumble build starts all the same. At least Cole didn't have a rant on the microphone at JR or Bryan's expense.
Smackdown can't be worse than Raw was anyway.

They must still have plans for Sheamus and Christian when he returns. Otherwise they'd surely have found something more constructive for him to be doing than just kicking jobbers every week.

They will step up his storyline closer to the rumble, everyone is killing time until TLC is done and dusted.

Bryan's mini-push (ie getting trashed by Cole in an interview on Raw,and then losing to Henry in the cage on the following SD!) is over so.

At least the Barrett and Ryder pushes continue I spose.

I was shocked to se WWE showing Swagger hurt Big Show in July 2010. Swagger has been left as Zigglers back up for months and all of a sudden they remebered he has a past as a WHC and showed himself a capable guy against people like Big Show. I really liked him telling Henry he wasn't going to help him as he didn't think Henry would win on Sunday anyway.

Bryan lost but thats more than fine considering he is still going around with "Injured". It also pushed Cody and that is important when he is on the card at TLC.

Main event was a typical Smackdown tag main event. Nothing to get really exctited about though.

I laughed at Alicia's post match mic work.

Not sure why Sheamus not being involved in a specific feud bothers people. He has a storyline - he goes out each week and kicks another wrestlers head off. Goldberg like push is fine by me!

Decent tag match early on with Usos v Primi and Epico. It would mena more if WWE had less random tag matches between non Tag teams every week.

Loved Mark Henry hitting the cameraman! Also love watching Sheamus beat the living crap out of people every week. Who needs a storyline he must be having so much fun right now.

I thought the matches were really good and better than those at RAW. No storylines worth talking about though.
